Abstract

The article is constructed on the receptions of a historical and biographic method (protography) and devoted to the analysis of life and activity of two representatives of one family — brothers A. M. and E. M. Krasnoshchyok. Data on the biography of the third family member — their sister S. M. Krasnoshchyok is provided too. Youth of these people fell on a prerevolutionary era and was connected with revolutionary activity. The collected actual material allowed the author to show changes in the development and feature of personal manifestations at the people belonging to one family, but to different cohorts of the birth: one of brothers became social democrat, the second — the anarchist. It is shown that the different vital fates of brothers predetermined changes of a historical situation to the country, but at the same time in their actions and acts lines of similarity of characters are shown
