Abstract
Aim. To analyze the problem of revealing the policy of McCarthyism in the United States (1950–1954) in the works of Russian historians.
Methodology. The article deals with issues devoted to the scientific analysis of the views of Russian post-Soviet historians on the causes, course and results of the McCarthyism policy, in chronological terms from the early 50s to the present. The influence of Senator Joseph McCarthy and his supporters on Russian-American relations and the history of the Cold War has been studied.
Results. In most of the reviewed works on the history of McCarthyism, differences in interpretations and a variety of views of domestic authors on the causes of the conflict were revealed.
Research implications. The work carried out can be used by researchers on the problems of the Cold War for a more complete understanding of the essence of the conflict presented by Russian historiography.
