Sumario:The political European-western concepts, which found the originality of the conceptual History, are not neutral. They’re born “deformed” by their particular history. Based on this, the following article proposes to bring out the importance of the conceptual-history studies as theory and historical research both at the same time, outside the linguistic German area. The Russian case illustrates this purpose. A thorough analysis of the utilization of the “State” concept in the Russian historiography –attached to the “State” western paradigm– reveals the distortions produced by an uncritical utilization of such concept, and opposes it to the empirical documentation provided by the historiography itself.
