That is why it is often assumed that it had gone nearly extinct after the collapse of the Soviet Union. The notion of left(ist) historiography on the other hand is more generic, more flexible, but vague. Its conceptual borders are not as clear as those of Marxist historiography. This is due to the fact that some strands of Marxist historiography expanded their views on the basis of gender, ethnicity, culture and other potential axes of oppression, repression and suppression, to evolve into left(ist) historiographies. This evolution paved the way for the relatively younger areas of economic history, social history, labor history, feminist history etc. Secondly, various Marxist historians had already left the ranks of the Soviet Union either due to the acts of the Soviet Union that they find unacceptable or due to the influence of Latin American popular movements which do not completely follow the Soviet recipe for revolution and socialism. Thus, in this paper, we present and discuss the origins of left(ist) historiography in Marxist historiographies. </div>}, number={2}, publisher={SAM A.Ş. Yayıncılık}
