A range of priority methodological problems that require prompt development is indicated: a comparative analysis of the actual normative requirements for historical and psychological research, features of targeted work on the criticism of sources used in historical and psychological research as a factor in increasing the objectivity of the results obtained, principles and tools for distinguishing the ideas of the studied personalities from their “deployment” in the context of modern research, etc.
