历史研究者的基本责任就在于揭开历史真相,尽可能地还原历史的本来面貌,而要做到这一点,就必须不断地发掘、梳理和解读原始档案和文献。本次讲座以中苏同盟起草、1958年炮击金门、周恩来与斯大林的黑海会谈、刘少奇与斯大林会谈等有关档案的利用与研究为案例,以此揭示冷战国际史研究与档案文献的开发与研究之间的复杂关系。

Why and how did the Cold War begin? The origins of the Cold War have been the subject of extensive study and debate. Through thorough, multilingual, and multi-archival research, China’s leading historian of the Cold War, Shen Zhihua, uses several important case studies to illustrate the complex relationships between the research on global history and the exploration and utilization of the archives on the Cold War.
