This volume is a unique publication as it examines the Marxist attitudes in East Central European historiography and archaeology for the first time, with an emphasis on the co-existence of Marxist and other methodologies between the 1950s and 1970s in the local historiographies in question. Its approach is to distinguish between pseudo-Marxism as an ideological tool on the one hand, and Marxism in the form of historical materialism as a way to interpret the medieval world on the other.

"...overall, this is a highly valuable and insightful work and I have enjoyed reading many of the contributions. It is to be hoped that it will inspire further studies on medieval historiography under communism." – Jan Dumolyn, Ghent University, in: The Medieval Review (25.10.30)
"...the volume highlights the interconnectedness of Marxist historiographical approaches across eastern Europe while also showing how the specifics of national histories came into play in terms of methodology as well as subject matter of medieval historical and archaeological research. In this sense, this volume is truly unique." – William Mahan, Northern Arizona University, in: Mediaevistik 2025), Volume 38, Number 1,
