Abstract
This writing aims to outline the principles of researches on philosophy in Central and Eastern
European countries, preferably USSR, in the latest soviet and post-soviet periods. In author’s opinion,
the crucial points for such kind of research are: a) to discover a correlation between philosophy and
the phenomenon of totalitarianism; b) to correlate a soviet philosophy with totalitarian experience. The
article considers methodological and axiological problems in research of post-totalitarian practices in
general as such as in philosophy. In author’s opinion the main problem in development of the post-soviet
philosophy is interiorisation of intellectual, cultural and social practices, which were formed concerning
to totalitarian experience. This became a reason of “cynicism” and “nihilism” of post-soviet philosophy.
It’s impossible to cast mentioned phenomena off without consideration of totalitarian phenomenon and
critical reconsideration of the own totalitarian experience.
