Abstract

The article analyzes the historical policy in the socio-philosophical aspect historical policy intends to influence the sphere of historical science and education by adding the principles of state activity presented in the foundations of state ideology to the principles of scientific activity as value guidelines. Historical policy can either confront historical knowledge or conform to it. Ideology and science diverge from each other in their goals, and this divergence creates the natural boundary of the state historical policy influence. By breaking this boundary ideology will be seen as alien to science.
