| description | Within the subject field of source study of historiography the author studies the question of constructing the national past in the essayistic practice of historiography, which was carried out by Empress Catherine the Great (Notes on Russian History) and the famous Catherine nobleman and mason Ivan Elagin (Essay of the narration about Russia). The studyactualizes the problem of classifying historiographical sources of the second half of the 18th century, in particular of their kind as an essay ("ocherk" - in rus., AbriGVUmrilJ" - in germ.). According to the author, his notes should be considered "notes" and "essay" investigative task, the author points to the main features inherent in such forms of historiography as "notes" and "essay" in West European and Russian historiography. The characteristics of "Notes on Russian history" are given, which, according to the author, have specific features of a big national history and educational book on national history, however, the word "notes" present in the self-name and the author's reflection on the purpose of historical writing allow him to be classiied as essays. From nine parts of "Essay of the narration about Russia" in 1803 only the irst part was published. The author got acquainted with other parts in the manuscript which is stored in the Department of manuscripts of National Library of Russia (St. Petersburg). There is basis to consider that I. Elagin used a form of "essay" for test of the original model of the Russian history. Considering a format of the scientiic article, the author analyzed one plot (the Kiev event of 1068) from Catherine the Great and I. Elagin's works (according to the manuscript). For more correct carrying out the analysis the Old Russian chronicles (published in the 18th century) were used and texts of the Russian historians of the 18th century Vasiliy Tatishchev and Mickail Shcherbatov are attracted. As a result of the analysis, features of a socially oriented type of historical writing that differing from scientiic and lines inherent in a historical narration in the form of the essay were revealed. |
