Research methodology of unstable periods of history

After the national historiography had refused the Marxist paradigm there began a search of new methodology which consists of principles and methods of knowledge. The author of this article offers the vision of approaches of a man during transitive periods of history. The author is confident that the attempt to outline the key points of the problem will be useful for researchers varying periods of history. Please note that the development of history occurs rhythmically. This is like an alternate repetition of two phases named balance (stability) and variability (transitivity). The historian has to take into consideration the dynamic and pluralistic nature of the values? system in the study process of human in the transitive society. The historian of the transitive society has to take into consideration one important aspect. This is the nonlinearity of the development which is typical for the transitive society. It complicates the prediction of the global social processes. This is when the role of a chance gaining of fundamental importance. The focus of human factor in history may conceal some dangers. The first thing is that the search of causal connections which means evidences pointing to the nature and motivation of a particular social group which consist of individuals is a cause that probably destined to the wrong judgment. The second thing is that the research of people (country) in a definite period dispersed at the levels of specific individuals can turn to the history of the elite. In fact this is the voice of the elite recorded in historical documents. Also there can be the wrong investigation of the social group if it is based on the example of a man with a low social status. The historian shall take into consideration that the integrated understanding of the relationship of individual, social and universal in historical and social development is extra complicated. The original source of changes has to be found in the human. This fact has to draw the historian?s attention to locally-civilized approach. The locally-civilized approach focuses one's attention on describing the uniqueness of individual cultural and civilizational complexes, on the explanation of the genesis' causes of this identity, reproduction and transformation. The preference of the locally-civilized approach leads to the fact that the transitive periods being between past and future, undergoing of the pressure are "the completely independent condition of the sociocultural systems those are differ from stable, inertial periods of the development". The consideration of each system as a unity of order and chaos is the prerogative of the synergistic approach. This methodological approach is based on such factors as nonlinearity, instability, unpredictability, alternative development, the greatest human responsibility for his actions in acute regimes functioning systems. At such time intervals human can stimulate the development of tendencies that are able to destroy the system. The synergetic combines the idea of evolutional approach with multiplicity of historical process and multidimensionality of history. The synergetic will be greatly important for the researches of the transitive periods of history because the feature of transitivity is an unpredictable behavior of systems in the periods of unsustainable development which has been clarified above. So if there is any rigid political system in the society which has been built with a help of strict hierarchy's principle can be completely ruined after even one not very important element is ruined too.
