SUMMARIES OF ARTICLES

T. A. SIVOKHINA. Soviet Historiography of the Soviet Working Class in the Period of Mature Socialism

The author summarises the studies in the evolution of the Soviet working class in the period of mature socialism. Works published in the 1960s-1970s, she concludes, are major achievements in research into the qualitative and quantitative changes in the composition of the working class. The article discusses trends in research 'in growing social activity of the workers (their leading role in socialist emulation, management of social production and state affairs) and points to certain aspects requiring further study.

V. V. GARMIZA. Class Essence of Socialist-Revolutionary and Menshevik- Dominated Local Government Bodies

The author discusses the organisation and activity of local self-government bodies (dumas and zemstvos) headed by Socialist-Revolutionaries and Mensheviks, particularly in the middle Volga region, south of the Urals, and Siberia, with particular attention to the little-studied problem of public education in areas under the Committee of Alembers of the Constituent Assembly (Samara, Volga region, 1918). Using archive materials and local periodical press the author demonstrated bourgeois nature of these bodies.

S. I. SMETANIN. Emergence of the Working Class in the Urals Resulting from Differentiation of the Workforce in Mining and Related Industries

The author demonstrates that the process of differentiation among this category of the population and the emergence of the working class at Ural enterprises resulted from economic changes-the rise of traders and petty businessmen, intensification of capitalist forms of labour stimulation, the switch over from compulsory forms of labour to more productive and elaborate forms of employment.

V. N. USOV. On the Assessement of the Maoist Cultural Revolution

The greater part of the article deals with assessements of the cultural revolution in the Chinese mass media in 1967 - 1981. The author traces how these assessements changed as the controvercy over Maoism developed. His conclusion is that top government groups want to prevent the dissemination in the CPC of Marxist-Leninist assessements of these tragic events in Chinese history. The CPSU and other Communist parties have characterised the cultural revolution as a counter-revolutionary coup led by Mao Zedong and have revealed harmfulness of Maoism, and its incompatibility with the vital interests of the Chinese people.

A. I. NEMIROVSKY. Theoretical Aspects of Ancient Historiography

Lucian's treatise, True History, is the author's framework for a study of the ancient historiographers' views on the functions and aims of history, its methodology and what is required in form and content of history-writing. Nemirovsky also touches on problems not dealt with by Lucian, such as relation of historiography to the contemporaneous natural sciences and philosophy and stresses the need for broader study of ancient hisioriography.
