https://doi.org/10.21603/2078-8975-2019-21-2-336-341
Abstract
The research studies the Little Entente – the alliance formed by Czechoslovakia, Rumania, and Yugoslavia – and the impact it existed on the European politics during the Interbellum. The present paper focuses upon the way the Little Entente was described in domestic historiography. The author believes that Soviet historians concentrated mainly on the final stage of the alliance's existence. In that period, Germany was strengthening its positions in Central and South-Eastern Europe. Soviet historians paid attention to the growing disagreement between the members of the alliance associated with the activities of Germany, the USSR, and France in the region. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, Russian historians continued to develop the topics but gave more attention to the period of the formation of the Little Entente as a military bloc. Russian historians were more positive in their assessments of the alliance's activities related to its class characteristics and anti-Soviet character.
