Konnova M. The Civil War in Spain (1936-1939 years): historiography.

The thesis presents a complex historiographical study of the Civil War in Spain in 1936-1939. The problem under discussion practically hasn't been studied enough either in Ukrainian historiography or even in Russian where there exists the school of Spanish studies with its long time traditions. Thus, the introduced problem may be considered to be actual for the Spanish studies in Ukraine which is only in the process of foundation. In the paper we have made an attempt to give systemic and generalized analysis of the historiographical inheritance, existing in our country and abroad, within the time parameters between 1930-2003 years. Besides, its main directions and modern conceptual understanding of the Civil Spain conflict 1936-1939 causes and reasons have been analysed. Besides, the focus has been made on the role and place of internal and external situation in the process of the conflict escalation and the motives and purposes of foreign intervention into the events in Spain. It has been proved thatideological flavour of Soviet scientists was predetermined by their class approaches to the analysed problems.
