Abstract
The article examines the historiographical concept of a prominent Soviet scholar, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor, head of the Department of History of National Economy and Economic Studies at the Faculty of Economics of Lomonosov Moscow State University in 1958–1982 Fyodor Yakovlevich Polyansky. Based on a textual analysis of his published works, it is shown that F. Ya. Polyansky occupied independent positions on many important issues of the economic history of West European Middle Ages and Russia during the genesis of capitalism and defended them throughout his scientific and pedagogical activity. The research reveals and characterizes the views and conclusions of F. Ya. Polyansky on such issues as the genesis of feudalism, the content of feudal synthesis, the constituent features of feudalism, the economic policy of workshops in West European countries, the role of commodity production and the law of value in the feudal economy, the initial accumulation of capital in Russia, the economic system of Russian manufacture. The findings underscore the great contribution of F. Ya. Polyansky to the political economy of feudalism and the relevance of his work for modern research in the field of the history of national economy
