Russian medievalist (1918–1983)

In this name that follows [East Slavic naming customs](/source/East_Slavic_naming_customs), the [patronymic](/source/Patronymic) is *Terentyevich* and the [family name](/source/Surname) is *Pashuto*.

**Vladimir Terentyevich Pashuto** ([Russian](/source/Russian_language): Владимир Терентьевич Пашуто; 19 April 1918 – 10 June 1983) was a Soviet Russian [Marxist](/source/Marxist) [historian](/source/Historian) who specialized in the history of medieval Lithuania and Russia, especially in their foreign policies.

He graduated from the [Leningrad University](/source/Leningrad_University) in 1941 and joined the staff of the Institute of History of the [Soviet Academy of Sciences](/source/Soviet_Academy_of_Sciences) in 1948.[1] He was elected a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences in 1976. He was awarded the [Order of the Badge of Honor](/source/Order_of_the_Badge_of_Honor).

In his 1958 monograph *The Genesis of Lithuania*, he argued that it was the pressure of [Teutonic invasions](/source/Baltic_crusades) that forced the disparate Lithuanian tribes to forge a unified state known as the [Grand Duchy of Lithuania](/source/Grand_Duchy_of_Lithuania).[2] Pashuto is credited as consultant on several films about medieval Russia, including [Tarkovsky](/source/Andrei_Tarkovsky)'s masterpiece *[Andrei Rublev](/source/Andrei_Rublev_(film))* (1966).[3]

Pashuto and his colleague [Anatoly Novoseltsev](/source/Anatoly_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 as [Alexander Nazarenko](/source/Alexander_Nazarenko).
