Abstract:
The article analyzes the main factors that reveal the specifics of the study of Islam in Soviet historical science in the 1920s-1930s. These include the dialectical-materialist method, which determined the Marxist methodological approach to religious topics, the normative legal acts of the Soviet state, which outlined the framework for the interaction of church and state in the period under review, atheism as a certain historical form of attitude towards religion in society. The sources for the analysis were the texts of scientific and journalistic works of Soviet historians, which traced the influence of these factors in the study of Islam. The aim of the study is to identify the specifics of the interaction between science and politics on the example of studying the scientific heritage of Soviet Islamic scholars in the context of weak institutionalization of Soviet historical science. The history of the study of Islam during this period showed that the approach to religious problems depended, first of all, on the political situation. Changes in the domestic and foreign policy tasks of the Soviet state, which included territories with a significant Muslim population, were reflected in a peculiar way in works on this subject. This, in turn, allows us to speak of the existence of autonomous stages in the study of Islam in the USSR. However, despite the obvious ideological bias and the influence of the state's religious policy on scientific research, works appeared that have not lost their scientific significance today.
