Regularity and randomness in history and historiographical scope

The article considers some issues of personality and its role in modern historiographical approaches. Today actualization of the problem under study is closely related to the growth of informative value of historical randomness. The thorough investigation of the personality's role in history is impossible without an appeal to classical scientific paradigms, including Marxism.
