The century of service to science: a fundamental publication on the monograph “History of V. I. Vernadsky Crimean Federal University in documents and photographs”

Abstract

A review of the monograph “History of V. I. Vernadsky Crimean Federal University in documents and photographs” (Simferopol, 2018), sponsored by the staff of the Museum of History of V. I. Vernadsky Crimean Federal University. This is a structural subdivision headed by A. A. Nepomnyashchiy, the Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor, Head of the Department of Historical Regional Studies and Local History of V. I. Vernadsky Crimean Federal University. The relevance of the study is due to the fact that, despite of the significant number of publications on the history of this educational institution, the true history of the university in the scientific sense of the word, has not yet been published. The publication is prepared by the museum staff and based on the materials obtained in the course of painstaking research, which are stored in the archives of Simferopol, Moscow, Makhachkala and St. Petersburg. The monograph attempted to summarize the data found by the authors in the archives, as well as the information available in the literature today regarding the history of one of the oldest universities in southern Russia. The monograph “The history of V. I. Vernadsky Crimean Federal University in documents and photographs” has become a worthy continuation of publications about the history not only of the university itself, but also of the entire scientific school of the Crimea. I would like to express the hope that these books will be in demand among the scientists, professors and university students, and all those who are interested in the history of the Crimea.
