Yevgeny Viktorovich Tarle (Russian: Евгений Викторович Тарле; 27 October [O.S. 8 November ] 1874 – 6 January 1955) was a Soviet historian and academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Topics he studied and published on include the Napoleonic invasion of Russia and the Crimean War. Much of his work dealt with themes of Marxist historiography, imperialism, and Russian nationalism; he would spend much of his professional life at odds with state authorities over his scholarship. Tarle was also a founder of the Moscow State Institute of International Relations, Russia's diplomatic university.
