Abstract: One of the strongest aspects of political realism has always been considered to be the influence of man's "sinful" nature on the laws of politics, which, according to its proponents, is unchanging.It is hard to disagree with this notion, since the 21st century itself began with provoked, completely uncontrollable, and prolonged conflicts.Nearly a quarter of the current century has already passed, and blood is still being shed in various parts of the planet, with no end in sight.Against this background, historical analysis becomes even more intriguing.What is history?A collection of random events or an objective process based on solid cause-and-effect relationships?Do historical pseudomorphoses exist?At the modern stage, these questions are more relevant than ever.A superficial view of history can easily mislead us.According to one of the most important postulates of the postmodern era, in modern reality, perceptions gain far greater significance than facts -an idea we categorically disagree with.In every era, real facts have always been important, not alternative ideas.And facts require analysis."All that is real is rational," as the genius Hegel stated.Modern reality affirms the truth of these words.Many scientists and thinkers have reflected and written about historical pseudomorphoses.In principle, debates on this topic continue to this day.Does history truly have its own logic, does it allow mistakes, does it possess deep cause-and-effect relationships, does an alternative history make sense?These, we believe, are eternal questions, and at first glance, they are difficult to answer unequivocally.However, if we approach the issue from the perspective of events that actually occurred, then many things become clearer, and every event has its own logic.
