Ehsan Tabari (1917-1989) is known as one of the founders of Tudeh party and the theoretician of that party. This causes the contemporary Historians attribute him as a Marxist, often evaluate his behavior and thoughts in ideological and party frameworks and not pay attention to individual characteristics in shaping his personality. While if we examine him as a writer, poet or historian, we can find aspects of his personality that do not necessarily arise from party and organizational behavior, but shows the concerns arising from a truth-seeking thought, which inevitably emerged in the guise of a materialist intellectual during most of his life.
The claim of this article is that the historical thinking of Ehsan Tabari never in his lifetime was not completely included in frameworks of historical materialism, and Tabari's ideological revision can be better evaluated when we know the distance of Tabari's thinking from Marxism and historical materialism during his intellectual life. In this article, by examining Tabari's works, neglected aspects of Tabari's historical thinking will be discussed before his ideological revision, and then by focusing on the works of the last years of his life, the themes and historical concerns in these works will be discussed. The title of the article is taken from one of Tabari's interpretations about his ideological revision.

One of the key figures of the communist movement in Iran was Ehsan Tabari. With his extensive expertise, he increased the credibility of the Tudeh Party of Iran and educated the younger members of the party in Marxist ideology. His contribution led to an increase in the party's following among intellectuals and workers. His deep faith and unwavering adherence to the party and the principles of Marxism were so unshakeable that there was no doubt about its eventual collapse. Nevertheless, it collapsed, and he confirmed this by writing about it. His assertion of religiosity cast doubt on his true intentions after his commitment to Marxism. How was it possible that someone who was a renowned theorist and a crucial figure in the party could so easily abandon the belief that he had held for almost half a century and which was at the core of his identity? This paper attempts to provide an adequate answer to the research question by examining his moral, partisan and political characteristics through the works and memoirs of his party friends - both those who support and those who oppose him - as well as through the texts of his interrogations from 1362š to 1364š. The results of the study indicate that Tabari pursued a tactic of opportunistic religiosity and used concealment (taqiye) as a means of protecting his faith and intellectual reticence, as he saw this as the only viable choice.

The Marxist narrative of Iranian history around the 1960s and 1970s was strongly influenced by the rise of the Marxist historical school in the Soviet Union, which narrated the history of Iran within Marxist theoretical-conceptual frameworks. Ehsan Tabari, not as a historian, but as one of the most important theorists of the Tudeh Party, tried to read the history of ancient Iran in accordance with the party views and in line with its political goals. This type of re-reading has several important features: first, he formulated the periods of ancient Iranian history on the basis of Marxist intellectual-conceptual logic and in accordance with Marx's proposed formations. Second, in proportion to the characteristics of the Iranian social system, he considered the characteristics of the social formations of the history of this period to be not pure and homogeneous, but mixed. Third, explained and analyzed the Zoroastrian duality in the form of a prototype of the Marxist dialectic. Fourth had an empathetic and praiseworthy attitude combined with an internationalist approach to the social and cultural spheres of ancient Iranian society. The question of the present study is about the historical attitude of Ehsan Tabari towards the ancient history of Iran. Findings indicate that Ehsan Tabari narrated the history of ancient Iran in a special theoretical-conceptual framework based on Marxist logic and dialectical materialism. This narrative was accompanied by aspects of pride in cultural heritage or, in fact, a combination of Marxist anti-nationalist foundations and non-chauvinist patriotism or patriotism.

Ehsan Tabari's critical approach to the archaic ideology of the Pahlavi government is an ideological, hostile and militant confrontation that has meaning in the discourse and political atmosphere of Iran in this period. Tabari tries to challenge the official archaic discourse of the Pahlavi government as a heterogeneous voice. This approach is more militant, ideological, and political in nature than it is concerned with relying on historiographical documents and it is a function of the political-ideological position of the historian as a militant left-wing ideologue attached to the theoretical logic of Marxism in the re-reading of history. This critical approach has several important features: First, it challenges the Pahlavi government's arrogant and glorious official account of the fundamental concept of monarchy in a moralistic-instructive perspective and by including it under the concept of degeneration, Second, it attacks the racial-nationalist character of this archaic ideology by relying on the concept of internationalism And third, by proposing some critical perspectives, he assesses the institutionalizations that emerge from this archaic worldview as emerging from a kind of historical illusion that leads to institutional chauvinism. In this research, with an analytical approach, Ehsan Tabari's critical insight into the archeological ideology of the Pahlavi government will be analyzed and an attempt will be made to question the various layers of this critical approach and the factors influencing its formation as well as its constructive contexts.

These are all features of the historian Ehsan Tabari: Reviews on People with demos (Studing history of the masses), Looking structural Phenomena and events, Examine the chain of events To understand the evolution of time, Due to events in other regions of the world And other historical periods, For a better understanding of your desired event, Inference rule of historical phenomena, According to the algebraic and historical development.
