Vladimir Terentyevich Pashuto (Russian:Владимир Терентьевич Пашуто; 19 April 1918 – 10 June 1983) was a Soviet RussianMarxisthistorian who specialized in the history of medieval Lithuania and Russia, especially in their foreign policies.
He graduated from theLeningrad University in 1941 and joined the staff of the Institute of History of theSoviet Academy of Sciences in 1948.[1] He was elected a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences in 1976. He was awarded theOrder of the Badge of Honor.
In his 1958 monographThe Genesis of Lithuania, he argued that it was the pressure ofTeutonic invasions that forced the disparate Lithuanian tribes to forge a unified state known as theGrand Duchy of Lithuania.[2] Pashuto is credited as consultant on several films about medieval Russia, includingTarkovsky's masterpieceAndrei Rublev (1966).[3]
Pashuto and his colleagueAnatoly Novoseltsev helped bring to light a number of foreign sources related to Russia's medieval history. His approach was further developed by a team of prominent disciples such asAlexander Nazarenko.
