There are quite a number of works where authors want to understand what Freemasonry is and offer different interpretations of this theme. In this book the author, considering the Russian historiography on the eighteenth-century Masonic issue from the beginning to the middle of the twentieth century as an example, focuses, mostly, on the works of authors of liberal and nationalist-monarchist tendencies in the Russian historiography which most vividly represent both viewpoints on eighteenth-century Russian Freemasonry.
