In Search of the Beginning of Marx Materialistic Theory of History. Article 1

These two papers deal with different ways Marx and Engels searched for the origin of the materialistic historical theory; they shows the methodology used by Marx and Engels to find out the origin of the theory. It is proposed to consider the category of human relations to the world to be the origin of the materialistic historical theory. The paper shows up the general methodology used by Marx and Engels to determine three origin premises of the reality, three origin aspects of the social activity, trilateral first definitions for the terms production, communication (Verkehr) and society, as well as trilateral first definitions for the term productive forces, that were used little, if at all, in the official dogmatic historical materialism - partly for ideological reasons, partly as a result of translation errors. Based on the way Marx and Engels defined the categories, discussed in the paper and providing for the integrity of the materialistic historical theory, the paper deals with the question: Was there the first stage of the communism in the USSR?
