Abstract
Russian historiography of the second half of the 17th – the first half of the 19th centuries constructed a model that would explain the plans, goals and course of hostilities in 1654 – 1667. The semantic unit «liberation» and its synonyms made it possible to talk about the «liberatory» component of the war between the Moscow State and the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth. In the second half of the XVII century a common war narrative with religious content appeared (I. Giesel). During the Great Northern War of 1700 – 1721 a secularized version separated from it (A. Mankeev). The periodization of the narrative is built on two points: the division into two discourses in the second half of the 17th – the first half of the 18th centuries: religious and political; with a fairly see-through border. And the marked line, along which discourses deepened and expanded in the semiosphere of imperial historians, passing through the November Polish uprising (political influence), the 1830–40s. (ideological perspective). Political influence is understood as the first phase of the depolonization of the lands of the Lithuanian and Belarusian GovernorateGeneral after the Polish November Uprising (1830–1831). From an ideological perspective, they see: the elaboration of the “triad” of S. S. Uvarov by the historian N. G. Ustryalov; Synod of Polotsk in 1839 — an act of liquidation of the Uniate Church in the lands of Byelorussia and Lithuania. Both factors, which sharply increased the church influence in the historiographic evolution of the Thirteen Years’ War, actually returned semiosis to the pre-Peter era. The use of the two models did not lead to a conflict of description languages, but rather to coexistence. The aim of the study is to find and interpret semantic units in historiography. The study of the narrative properties of «liberation» is carried out through the optics of historical semantics, semiotics and hermeneutics.
