DISPUTES BETWEEN REPRESENTATIVES OF SOVIET AND UKRAINIAN EMIGRANT HISTORICAL SCIENCES AT THE XI INTERNATIONAL CONGRESS OF HISTORIANS IN SWEDEN

The article is devoted to the events of the XI International Congress of Historical Sciences, held in Stockholm in 1960, one of the few sites where representatives of world historical science had the opportunity to meet, present their scientific concepts, and present their own system of views on key issues of human history. Often, sharp scientific discussions arose within the framework of the congress, sometimes largely politicized. The article pays special attention to just one of these disputes that erupted between representatives of Soviet historical science, and emigrant historians from other methodological and ideological positions, immigrants from the former territories of the Russian Empire. Some of the participants in the dispute were ethnic Ukrainians, and today they are fully recognized as representatives of Ukrainian historiography. It is noteworthy that there were both in one and the other camps, which makes the subject of our article more interesting and noteworthy. The main sources for writing the article were the memories of direct witnesses of those events, which makes it possible to see the discussions that took place through the prism of their personal perception. Also involved in the work are scientific works containing conceptual views of the participants in the dispute.
