Fundamentals of the methodology of political economy in the USSR in the 1950

Abstract

The article examines the remarks of I.V. Stalin on the draft textbook of political economy in 1950. The remarks concerned both the methodology of presenting the material and the subject of political economy, the principle of historicism in presenting the material, taking into account the socio-economic conditions that have changed since the time of Marx. These remarks seriously influenced the All–Union discussion organized by the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks in November – December 1951.
