Vinogradov's students
Abstract
This article is devoted to the problem of relations between professor of Moscow University P. G. Vinogradov and his students. During his work at the Department of World History, Faculty of History and Philology, Imperial Moscow University, Professor Vinogradov had the opportunity to off er candidates to be left at the university with the aim of preparation for professorship. We have identifi ed 14 instances when Vinogradov did this. The nominees were always students well known to the professor. He made their acquaintance during his seminars in World History, they wrote their dissertations under his supervision. Two of his students, A. N. Savin and M. M. Khvostov, became professors of Russian universities, having defended their master’s and doctoral theses before the revolution. D. N. Egorov was a teacher at Moscow University, he obtained professorship in summer 1917. Most students of Vinogradov did not succeed in master’s examinations. However, some of them continued their academic work during Soviet times and came to be prominent fi gures in the academia of the new era. This article identifies all students of Vinogradov at Moscow University (two students were not left for the preparation; one of them, who was considered Vinogradov’s student, was formally left by V. I. Ger’ye), gives an outline of their subsequent career, describes characteristic features of professor’s work with those he was in charge of.
