Historians From The Russian Empire
A historian is a person who studies and writes about the past and is regarded as an authority on it. Historians are concerned with the continuous, methodical narrative and research of past events as relating to the human race; as well as the study of all history in time. Some historians are recognized by publications or training and experience.Herman, A. M. (1998). Occupational outlook handbook: 1998–99 edition. Indianapolis: JIST Works. Page 525. "Historian" became a professional occupation in the late nineteenth century as research universities were emerging in Germany and elsewhere. Objectivity During the ''Irving v Penguin Books Ltd, Irving v Penguin Books and Lipstadt'' trial, people became aware that the court needed to identify what was an "objective historian" in the same vein as the reasonable person, and reminiscent of the standard traditionally used in English law of "the man on the Clapham omnibus". This was necessary so that there would be a legal benchmark to comp ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Russkaya Starina
''Russkaya Starina'' ( rus, Русская старина, p=ˈruskəjə stərʲɪˈna; ''Russian Antiquity'') was a Russian history journal published monthly in St. Petersburg by amateur historian Mikhail Semevsky and his successors between 1870 and 1916. Its authors included Ivan Zabelin, Dmitry Ilovaysky, Nikolai Karlovich Shilder, and Nikolay Kostomarov. A collected edition was reprinted in 2008. Semevsky was highly enthusiastic about the history of 18th-century Russia. His journal covered the imperial period of Russian history, including the era of palace revolutions. It was ''Russkaya Starina'' that first brought to light the unpublished pages of ''Eugene Onegin'' and ''Dead Souls'', Bolotov's memoirs, Kuchelbecker's diary, and many other materials long forgotten or repressed by censorship. Semevsky personally persuaded numerous old nobles and bureaucrats to put their reminiscences into writing. In the late 1870s another amateur historian, Sergei Shubinsky Sergey Niko ...

Pyotr Bartenev
Pyotr Ivanovich Bartenev (Пётр Ива́нович Барте́нев; 13 October 1829 – 4 November 1912) was a Russian historian and collector of unpublished memoirs. Of noble birth, Bartenev attended the Moscow University. In 1856, he undertook the first publication of the correspondence of Tsar Alexis, which brought him to the attention of the leading Slavophiles. These connections helped him secure the post of director at the Chertkov Library, then the only public library in Moscow. At this position he consulted Leo Tolstoy on the details of the Napoleonic wars. Tolstoy, then at work on ''War and Peace'', said that "turning to Bartenev with a research query was like turning on the tap of a samovar". In 1863, Bartenev founded ''The Russian Archive'', the first history journal in Russia. Like its rival, '' Old Times in Russia'', Bartenev's journal brought to light scores of unknown documents and memoirs from the 18th and early 19th centuries. Prince Vorontsov's entire fami ...
