The article presents different views of understanding the meanings of historical facts and the nature of historical narratives. It also points to the problems related to understanding the historical work and historical narratives in selected works of the representatives of naive realism, constructivism and critical realism. It is assumed that Eugen Zelenak's presentation of the basic ideas of critical realism (which stresses the importance of applying various conceptual frameworks) could have constructivist consequences.

The author connects the process of alignment with the problem of rewriting history. From the point of view of representatives of the realist view (G. Elton, M. Mandelbaum) professional work of historians will result in the creation of one picture of the past. The representatives of the constructionist view of history (H. White, F. Ankersmit) emphasize literal and construction features of writing narrative history which result in permanently rewriting history and the creation of plurality historical narratives. The author points out the relevance of the theoretical and ideological dimension of historical narration, which is mentioned in Jerzy Topolski´s understanding of the structure of historical narrative. He assumes that the legitimacy of the historian´s image of the past depends on his/her success in forming historical knowledge with update and value saturated (ideological) perspective.

The author of the article introduces Hayden White’s, Frank Ankersmit’s, and Jouni-Matti Kuukkanen’s constructive understanding of history. He contrasts their understandings of history with the traditional understanding, which supposes direct correspondence of historical work to the past. In his presentations of constructive thought, he points out their emphasis on legitimate possibilities of different methods of construction and ways of presentation, which result in different historical representations of historical events. Differences among historical representations of the past can also be related to the historian’s choice of different constructive methods and also the involvement of his/her preferred moral and political values. These constructive understandings of history, with the deeper analysis of process writing, incite the historian to deeper ethical self-awareness of his/her work.
