A.A. Leonova (1934)

Okladnikov Alexey Pavlovich - Soviet archaeologist, historian, ethnographer. The main works of Okladnikov are devoted to studies of the history of primitive culture, Paleolithic and Neolithic art, the history of Siberia and the Far East.

Born in the family of a teacher. Even at school, he was fond of history and local history. In 1925, Okladnikov entered the University of Irkutsk, where he replenished his knowledge in the "Ethnology" circle of Professor B. E. Petri.

About Alexey Pavlovich Okladnikov they say that he had a unique capacity for work. The academician did not drink, did not smoke, and in life, except for science, nothing else attracted him. But in archeology, he was a real ace. Only the list of works written by Okladnikov amounted to about 80 pages of the smallest text. However, he cannot be classified as an armchair scientist. Alexei Pavlovich's whole life was spent on archaeological expeditions, he traveled the Asian part of the former USSR up and down and often wrote his books, sitting by the fire.

He made scientific discoveries in passing, that is, he literally discovered them under his feet. For example, in 1949, Alexei Pavlovich was on an excursion next to the Egyptian pyramids as part of an international delegation. He, unlike his foreign colleagues who admired the beauty, immediately drew attention to the suspicious stones scattered around the pyramids. These stones had chips that only a man of the Stone Age could make. So he discovered the Egyptian Paleolithic, material evidence of which was searched in vain by scientists all over the world.

In Mongolia, this story repeated itself. The Americans spent huge amounts of money on an archaeological expedition to find traces of the presence of an ancient person there. They searched for several years, but to no avail. Aleksey Pavlovich had just managed to get off the plane when he discovered these traces. On the way from the airport to Ulaanbaatar, he collected a suitcase full of stone finds.

In 1928, Alexey Pavlovich drew attention to one of the most remarkable monuments of rock art in Siberia - the Shishkinsky rocks, the petroglyphs of which were first mentioned in the 18th century by the traveler Miller, and the artist Lorenius made several sketches. Okladnikov, as it were, rediscovered this monument of ancient art of the peoples of Siberia and spent decades conducting his research there, as a result of which he published two fundamental monographs.

In the 1930s, work began on the identification and study of ancient monuments in the valley of the Angara River, where the construction of a cascade of hydroelectric power stations was planned. Okladnikov headed the Angarsk archaeological expedition, which for three years explored the banks of the Angara for 600 kilometers - from Irkutsk to the village of Bratsk. The small funds allocated for the expedition did not allow at that time to launch excavations of any significant scale. Ancient monuments could only be recorded and, at best, briefly examined.

During the Great Patriotic War, Okladnikov worked in Yakutia. Together with his wife, Vera Dmitrievna Zaporzhskaya, he decided to take a boat down the Lena from the village of Konstantinovshchina and explore 5,000 km of the river valley from its source to the shores of the Arctic Ocean.

In 1945, in addition to archaeological research in Yakutia, Okladnikov began excavating the remains of the camp of the Russian polar expedition (dated around 1620) on the northern island of Thaddeus and in the region of the Taimyr Peninsula (Sims Bay). The archaeologist managed to reconstruct the picture of the death of the earliest known expedition of Russian industrialists, who went east along the shores of the Arctic Ocean.

For more than half a century, Okladnikov went on expeditions every summer to search for and study traces of the presence of an ancient man on the territory of our country. He has the honor of discovering a number of remarkable monuments of the distant past: sites and rock carvings, discovered and studied under his leadership on the Angara, Lena, Kolyma, Selenga, Amur and Ussuri, for the first time made it possible to accurately and fully present the history of the ancient inhabitants of Siberia and the Far East for many years. millennia.

In 1961, Okladnikov went to work at the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences (Novosibirsk, Akdemgorodok). He was appointed director of the Institute of History, Philology and Philosophy. He held this position until his death in 1981. Now Okladnikov's work is continued by his numerous students who work in every city where there is a history department at the university.

135 years ago, the first Pushkin holiday was held in Moscow

On June 5, 1880, the first Pushkin holiday in Russian history began in Moscow. It went on for four days. The celebrations were organized by the Society of Lovers of Russian Literature, Moscow University and the Moscow City Duma. A program was drawn up for holding the Pushkin Days, which included, in addition to the opening of the monument, public meetings of the Society, literary and musical evenings, performances by famous cultural figures, especially famous writers, gala dinners with speeches and toasts.

The holiday began with the opening of the Pushkin exhibition in the premises of the Noble Assembly. A festive reception was held in the hall of the Moscow City Duma, which was attended by more than 250 people who arrived from different parts of Russia. Among the distinguished guests were a member of the royal family, Prince of Oldenburg, Governor-General Dolgorukov, children of Alexander Sergeevich Pushkin with their families. The writers Ivan Turgenev, Fyodor Dostoevsky, Alexander Ostrovsky, the famous Slavophil publicist Ivan Aksakov, literary critic of liberal views Pavel Annenkov, writer and critic Nikolai Strakhov, historian Vasily Klyuchevsky, composer Nikolai Rubinstein and many others came to honor the memory of the great Russian poet.

The date of June 6 was set for the celebration of the Day of the Russian Language. This is the birthday of Alexander Pushkin, the great writer, poet, playwright. In addition, Pushkin is considered the creator of the modern literary Russian language.

Russian language - one of the largest languages ​​in the world, is the most widespread of the Slavic languages, the most widely spoken European language in a geographical sense, and in terms of the total number of speakers, it ranks among the top ten world languages. According to the latest data, there are more than 150 million Russian speakers in the world, more than 100 million speak Russian as a second language. In addition to the Russian Federation, Russian is the official language of some CIS countries, as well as Abkhazia and South Ossetia. It also remains the language of informal communication in the countries of the former USSR. Interestingly, all cosmonauts who are to work on the International Space Station must study the spoken Russian language without fail. Various events are held in the building of the UN General Assembly on Russian Language Day. In particular, these are concerts of Slavic folk music, competitions for knowledge of the Russian language and literature, exhibitions of works of art, lectures, film demonstrations and express lessons.

The oldest libraries in the world were the first clay catalogs of Sumerian literature, the library of Ashurbanipal, the library of the temple of Edfu in Egypt. In Athens, Euripides, Plato, Aristotle, Demosthenes, Euclid, Euthydemus owned large private libraries. The first public Greek library was founded in Athens by Pasistratus. The eighth wonder of the world - the Library of Alexandria - included more than 700 thousand scrolls of handwritten books. The government officials of Alexandria confiscated all books imported into the country and sent them to the library marked "from the ships." The rulers of the city imposed a ban on the export of papyrus to stop the rapid growth of the library of Rhodes. According to legend, books from Alexandria were kept in the disappeared library of Ivan the Terrible.

A characteristic feature of Roman libraries is their location in country villas. Private libraries in II-I centuries. BC. Emilius Paul (based on the library of the Macedonian king Perseus), Sulla (based on the library of Aristotle), Lucullus (based on the library of the Pontic king Mithridates VI Eupator), Varro, Cicero, Atticus, Virgil. The first public library in Rome was founded by Gaius Asinius Pollio in the 1st century BC. BC.

By the middle of the 17th century, central government institutions were created in Russia - orders, under which, by state decree or order in the field of librarianship, special departmental libraries were organized. One of the most significant libraries was the Library of the Order of the Printing House (Printing Library), established in the early 17th century.

State reforms in the sphere of politics, economy, culture and education, carried out in Russia in the first quarter of the 18th century by Emperor Peter I, were of great importance for the development of libraries. The most important event in the field of librarianship during the reign of Peter I was the establishment in 1714 in St. Petersburg of the first state scientific library in Russia, which was founded simultaneously with the Kunstkamera. Both of these institutions were transferred to the Academy of Sciences, founded in 1724. The creation of a fundamental library met the urgent needs of the socio-political and cultural life of Russia and had a great influence on the subsequent development of librarianship.

The library was replenished mainly due to private collections, the transfer of funds from some Orders, purchases and exchanges with foreign scientific institutions. And also at the expense of an obligatory copy of the literature printed in the printing house. Not only academicians, but also other scientists, statesmen and representatives of the nobility could use the library fund.

Libraries are the repositories of human memory, the main source of information - from ancient manuscripts to electronic resources. As academician D. Likhachev said, “libraries are the most important thing in culture ... while the library is alive, the people are alive, if it dies, the past and the future will die.”

On May 24, Russia celebrates the Day of Slavic Literature and Culture. The holiday is known as the day of memory of the first teachers of the Slavic peoples - the holy Equal-to-the-Apostles brothers Cyril and Methodius. In Russia, the holiday was revived in 1986, and in 1991, by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Russian Federation No. 568-1, it received the status of a state holiday. Officially, this is not a day off, but various festivals, concerts and other events dedicated to this holiday are held.

Philologist's Day is celebrated annually on May 25 in Russia. This date is professional holiday for everyone about one way or another connected with philology - to graduates and teachers of philological faculties, teachers of the Russian language and literature, librarians, translators and simply connoisseurs of the native language and literature.

Philology(from the Greek φιλολογία, “love of the word”) - a field of knowledge that studies written texts and, based on their content, linguistic and stylistic analysis, the history and essence of the spiritual culture of a given society. It is believed that philology originated in ancient India and Greece. In this regard, classical philology is called the philology of the Greek, Latin and Sanskrit languages.

In the 17-18 centuries, philology developed as a science that studies ancient culture (language, literature, history, philosophy, art in their interconnectedness).

Over time, the concept of philology has changed: philology began to be understood as a set of sciences that study the culture of the people, expressed in language and literary creativity. Therefore, modern philologists work in many areas of history, linguistics and literature, make a great contribution to the field of education and research of historical values. The importance of their profession for society cannot be overestimated.
