On the Results of Work on the Biobibliographic Indexes of the Ideologists of Cultural Populism (Y.V. Abramov, S.N. Krivenko, I.I. Kablitz

Abstract

The article is devoted to the discussion of the results of domestic researchers’ study of the ideology and movement of cultural populism in the last third of the 19th century — early 20th century. The degree of study of their political biographies and ideological heritage and its impact on the general understanding of the place and role of Cultural populists in the development of the ideology and movement of the rightist populism are established. It was based on the analysis of biobibliographical indexes by Y. V. Abramov, S. N. Krivenko and I. I. Kablitz (Yuzov) published by the author of the article in 2017–2021. The difficulties of studying the ideology of cultural populism and the reasons for the prevalence of personalized approach in the national historiography is analyzed. It is noted that there are still disputes among modern researchers in understanding the goals and objectives of «cultural» work of the post-reform intellectuals in the village. The article proves the necessity of a clearer definition of the notion of «cultural populism», as well as the need for further development of the general periodization of its history and typology of the main currents of cultural populists’ thought. The author’s observations and conclusions are supplemented with references to the opinions of the reviewers of these indexes.
