The paper pays attention to two stages of development of Marxist philosophy in this country: the period of Marxism penetrating to this country in the turn of the centuries and that of developing the heritage of the classics of Marxism-Leninism, the beginnings of creative research work in the sphere of dialectical and historical materialism. The paper contains also a note about the developmental trends in non-Marxist philosophy in this country. February 1948 is characterized as a historical milestone that had formed all conditions and prerequisites for all-round development of Marxist-Leninist philosophy in connection with the tasks of building-up the socialist society.
