Abstract
The article is devoted to the actual problem of formation of Belarus history concept in the second half of the 1930s in the Belarusian SSR. The article highlights the methodological turn in historical knowledge observed in the first half of the 1930s, focuses on the processes of creating a textbook on the history of Belarus for students of secondary schools and development of a textbook for students of higher educational institutions of the Republic. The place of the history of Belarus in the unified history concept of the USSR, the contribution of individual researchers in the development of historiography of national history is determined. By the end of the 1930s, draft sketches of a new concept of the history of Belarus based on the Marxist-Leninist methodology and organically inscribed in the General course of the history of the Soviet Union were prepared.
