历史问题关乎国运、关乎执政党的命运。错误的历史观是导致苏共败亡的思想祸根。自苏共二十大之后，苏联社会始终潜伏着一股借反思历史而蔓延的历史虚无主义思潮，上世纪八十年代中期以后在戈尔巴乔夫的"民主化、公开性"等口号推动下，其被激活并很快成蔓延之势，这不仅导致了社会思想的混乱，也为从思想上瓦解苏共打开了大门，最终把苏共推上了历史的审判台。近年来俄罗斯领导人在走出"历史迷茫"和"思想政治陷阱"方面的努力与动向，也从另外一个维度昭示了历史及历史观问题的重要性。

History is closely related to the destiny of a nation and a ruling party. The incorrect view of history was the intellectual cause of the failure of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union(CPSU). Since the 20^th National Congress of CPSU, Soviet society had incubated the intellectual trend of historical nihilism under historical reflection, which was activated and spread widely after Gorbachev's promotion of "democratization and transparency". This led to the intellectual chaos in the society, the intellectual dissolution and finally the historical trial of CPSU. Russian leaders' endeavor to get out of the "historical perplexity" and the "intellectual and political trap" in recent years also demonstrates the importance of history and historical views.
