In the article we consider the peculiarities of historical cognition in the conditions of globalization. One of the most important characteristics of globalization is a force-based interpretation of history. We prove that it is performed in the interest of the globalization subjects, i.e., the leading Western countries at the expense of the countries of «the Second and Third Worlds»; and that is why the ideologists of globalization are not interested in the objective studying the historical past. They consider history in its euro-centric version, based on mondialistic tendencies, justifying aggressive ambitions of the globalization initiators; and the result of it is a threat of losing the socio-cultural essences by some societies.
