Extract

Students of Eastern European affairs have pointed out that this part of the world shares in considerable measure the historical mode of thinking about itself; its self-perception is, in part at least, provided by its historical awareness and a tradition of historiography, that is, the past as organized and interpreted by the historian (Roberts, 1970). Unlike other societies, in which the historical component of self-identification is not at all prominent, its place being taken either by a set mythology or by all-embracing religious or legal norms, Eastern European societies have developed a historiographical tradition. It can truly be said that they have been obsessively preoccupied by history and the main reason for this obsession is that for over four hundred years these societies were an integral part of the Ottoman empire.
