In 2004 Lithuania, Latvia and Estonia were found in the NATO structures and the European Union. Russia judged negatively the process of the European integration of the Baltic countries hence when it was completed, their intercourse became worse.

Mikhail Nikolayevich Pokrovsky is undoubtedly one of these Russian historians, whose creative heritage has been the object of controversies for decades. Upon that, some authors write mainly on scholar’s remarkable contribution to national historiography, his original idea of Russia’s historical evolution; others – in every possible way emphasize dark sides of Pokrovsky’s work, inefficiency of his class and political approach to historical researches, “tangled by pseudo-Marxist dogmas”. The author of this paper in view of newly revealed sources has tried to present the unbiased story of Marxist historian’s life and his diligent search for an answer to “the eternal questions of existence”. The limited size of this paper does not allow to describe more thoroughly certain periods of his work and activity. The author sees his main task in approximation of main events and facts straightforwardly connected with the described personage and casting discredit on existing in scholarly literature opinions about scholar’s allegedly solely negative influence on historical studies in soviet Russia in 1920s. The outline has been written on the basis of old as well as completely new historical publications which allows to examine more carefully different facts concerning the scholar, which have emerged over a period of last decades.
