Abstract

The author criticizes the activities of local historians who study the medieval history of Tver and the Upper Volga region. It is noted that in the Soviet period Tver (Kalinin) local history was not established by scientists from Moscow and Leningrad, due to which, until the 1970s. no serious studies of medieval Tver were undertaken, and local historians of Tver were convinced that there were no scholarly authorities on Tver topics. The author also shows the tendency of local historians of Tver to myth-making.
