Legacy
Soboul died in Paris in 1982 and is buried in the Père Lachaise Cemetery, not far from the graves of prominent Communist Party leaders and the Communards' Wall, where the last Communards were shot in May, 1871. A biography, Un historien en son temps: Albert Soboul (1914–1982) by Claude Mazauric, was published in France in 2004. Toward the end of his life, Soboul's interpretations faced increasing opposition by new historians of the revisionist school, but his work is still regarded as a major contribution to the study of "history from below."
