This article explores the content and distinctive features of the conceptual construction of the history of philosophy within the Marxist paradigm, with particular attention to mechanisms of ideological selection and the schematization of key historical stages. A crucial element of this ideological framework was the inclusion of “German classical philosophy”, which Soviet historiography proclaimed as the highest achievement of pre-Marxist thought. Simultaneously, it was positioned as an intermediate stage leading toward the “only correct” doctrine of materialist dialectics. At the center of this transitional phase was Georg Wilhelm Friedrich Hegel (1770–1831), whose philosophical ideas Soviet scholars regarded as a significant step in the development of dialectical thinking. However, Hegel’s philosophy was not merely incorporated into the Soviet intellectual tradition—it was actively transformed and reinterpreted to conform to the ideological demands of Marxism-Leninism. His dialectical method, foundational to Marxist philosophy, was selectively reworked, while aspects of his idealism were criticized or entirely dismissed as vestiges of a bygone era. Through an analysis of publications in the journals Banner of Marxism (1927–1930) and Banner of Marxism-Leninism (1931–1933), this study examines the content and specific character of early Soviet interpretations of Hegelian philosophy. It highlights the mechanisms by which Soviet theorists revised global philosophical heritage, reshaping it to serve the needs of ideological discourse. The article also explores the construction of a distinctly Soviet historical-philosophical narrative, including the hierarchical structuring of key thinkers and the dogmatization of Marxist-Leninist methodology as the definitive framework for philosophical inquiry.
