A question on a relation between the history and the politics is as old as these categories. It is still considered and discussed. However, currently we have a number of reasons to investigate this relation from a new perspective of contemporary phenomena and new research results; the history of science and its relation with social and political changes have been studied in past few decades with a careful attention. The significance of history-politics question is also based on processes of the rebirth of nationalism after the collapse of communism, the erosion of collective identities and identity-conflicts in the European Union. This relation is strengthened by a revolution in communication, and a necessity to redefine relations between government and masses, or state and society. Finally, new framework is sharpened by ongoing globalization.
