Extensive scholarly study has been conducted over the past few decades to uncover its causes, but researchers have yet to reach a consensus. This study explores the views of Russian and Western academics regarding the origins of the communist superpowers’ split, with an emphasis on the part played by ideological, geopolitical, and subjective factors. The research findings indicate that the breakdown of their relationship cannot be attributed to a singular cause; rather, a multitude of factors, such as ideological differences, geopolitical interests, and interpersonal dynamics, interacted in a complex manner. Authors from both Russia and the West offer insightful accounts of the causes of the conflict. By working in concert, their differing perspectives create a thorough, inclusive and reliable narrative of how the division came about. In light of ongoing tensions between the US, China and Russia, a comprehensive understanding of the causes of the Sino-Soviet split provides valuable insights into the current state of international politics.</p></abstract><trans-abstract xml:lang="ru"><p style="text-align: justify;">Китайско-советский раскол, под которым подразумевается ухудшение политических и идеологических отношений между Советским Союзом и Китаем, по-прежнему считается ключевым эпизодом в истории холодной войны. Причины китайско-советского раскола являются предметом обширных научных исследований в течение последних нескольких десятилетий, однако среди ученых до сих пор не сложилось единого мнения о том, что его вызвало. Рассматриваются точки зрения российских и западных ученых на истоки раскола с акцентом на роль идеологических, геополитических и субъективных факторов. Результаты исследования показывают, что не было какой-то одной причины, которая привела к разрыву отношений между двумя коммунистическими сверхдержавами; скорее, имело место сложное переплетение целого ряда факторов, включая идеологические разногласия, геополитические соображения и личностные факторы. Как российские, так и западные авторы излагают содержательные точки зрения на причины конфликта и, несмотря на определенные различия, их взгляды дополняют друг друга, создавая всеобъемлющий, инклюзивный и достоверный нарратив о том, как произошел разрыв. Учитывая сохраняющуюся напряженность в отношениях между США, Китаем и Россией, всестороннее понимание причин китайско-советского раскола дает важное представление о текущем состоянии международной политики.</p></trans-abstract><kwd-group xml:lang="en"><kwd>Cold War</kwd><kwd>ideology</kwd><kwd>geopolitics</kwd><kwd>Russian and Western historical research</kwd><kwd>international relations</kwd></kwd-group><kwd-group xml:lang="ru"><kwd>холодная война</kwd><kwd>идеология</kwd><kwd>геополитика</kwd><kwd>российские и западные исторические исследования</kwd><kwd>международные отношения</kwd></kwd-group><funding-group/></article-meta></front><body></body><back><ref-list><ref id="B1"><label>1.</label><mixed-citation>Borisov OB., Koloskov BT.
