Abstract
The article analyzes the current state of historical scholarship and focuses on the transformation of research approaches in Russian and international historiography and the expanding range of methodologies used in research. It focuses on the importance of an integrated approach to modern historical research, particularly in the area of international relations. An integrated approach allows for a more comprehensive examination of the issues of foreign and domestic state policy, macro- and micro-history, and the formation of collective identities.
