Information about the employee. “The Crimean Khan wept when he found out about Catherine's desire to resettle his Christian subjects in Russia. “The bulk of the population of the Horde did not know monotheism. But for a pagan, the problem of religious tolerance does not exist.

Education: Institute of History and Archives of the Russian State University for the Humanities (1995), postgraduate studies at the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences (1998).

What he researches: oriental manuscripts, documents from the times of the Golden Horde, the history of Crimea.

Special signs: speaks Turkish and Farsi, author of many books, one of the latest - "Crimean historiographic tradition", traveled to Iran, Egypt, Turkey, Japan, Mongolia, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, Crimea, was with an expedition in Bulgaria.

I work at the Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences, where I completed my postgraduate studies and wrote a dissertation on diplomatic documents that remained after the Golden Horde. These are agreements between the Ottoman and Russian empires. Many papers have been preserved, something had to be investigated from the annals. It's all handwritten, hard to decipher, but often our only sources. After all, the printing press came to the East very late - 150-200 years later than to Russia. There were entire corporations, workshops of scribes and bookbinders. In general, I am extremely interested in manuscripts in Arabic script. I was lucky: I managed to work in many large collections of the world: in Germany, France, Great Britain, Egypt, Iran, Turkey, and Central Asia. I studied them in the National Library of Cyril and Methodius in Sofia, there are many valuable documents there. Moreover, these documents were once bought by the Bulgarian side from Turkey as waste paper! Some were even torn up on purpose - they wanted to send them to a paper mill!

Our institute is almost 200 years old. It is believed that he is the successor of the Asian Museum in St. Petersburg. In St. Petersburg we had a branch, and now it is an independent institution - the Institute of Oriental Manuscripts, there is a colossal collection. The task of the leading Institute of Oriental Studies of the Russian Academy of Sciences in Soviet times was primarily associated with the study of modernity, and classical philology, source studies - this was irrelevant. Therefore, in Moscow, and in our country in particular, there is a collection of manuscripts that has not yet been described or introduced into scientific circulation. And this is despite the fact that in the best years a huge staff worked here - 900 people. Primakov and Kapitsa worked for us.

I don't like teaching. It's very time consuming, cheap, and doesn't bring much return. Once I gave lectures on the Golden Horde to historians in my third year. They struck me with their denseness, to be honest. No, well, they know the most basic thing: in what century Catherine lived, they will say. But not deeper. Our science has a problem not so much in money, but in people and ideas. If you wish, you can find money - there are a large number of funds, private and public.

Now I am actively working on the topic of the Crimean Khanate. I am very interested in the connections of Crimea with Moscow, with the Ottoman Empire. A fairly large number of sources remained from this period of history, including in Moscow. For the last hundred years in Russian science - I mean serious source studies - there have been no great works about Crimea. Those that were used only Russian sources. And I work with documents from three countries: Russia, the Ottoman Empire (in Old Ottoman), the Polish-Lithuanian state (in Old Belarusian, the clerical language of that era). Before the revolution, there was such a scientist Vasily Smirnov, a well-known Turkologist, he used only Ottoman historical works. I drew the history of the Crimea, looking from Istanbul. You can write from Moscow. But best of all - from Bakhchisarai itself.

The collections of the National Library of Cyril and Methodius in Sofia contain more than 1800 handwritten and early printed books, including the first Bulgarian printed book "Abagar", the first Bulgarian encyclopedic reference book - "Fish Primer", so named because its cover depicts a big fish.

You need to compare sources to get the full picture. In addition, it is well known that there are many falsifications in history. There are fake documents. Often they are created for ideological reasons, in order to prove the primacy of a particular people in a certain territory. There are many excesses: for example, purely Turkic theories of the origin of the Russian state.

I cannot say that these authors always consciously manipulate the facts. Sometimes there are simply enthusiastic people who think that Slavs lived everywhere or Turks lived everywhere. One can recall the beginning of the 19th century, when some Shishkov was looking for Slavs even in Africa. Like, Lake Chad is because of the smoke. There are plenty of such examples, and this has nothing to do with science. It is foolish to elevate the name Razin to Persian roots or describe the Moscow Borovitsky Hill as a Turkic toponym. As a rule, in addition to Slavic roots, Moscow names are etymologized on Finno-Ugric material. Crimea is a good example of the idea of ​​multiculturalism, which many believe has failed. It is very important to rely on this experience - we live in an era of great migration of peoples. The ethnic image of the regions is changing. Engagement is always bad. It is necessary to write as conscience dictates, and not some nationalist ideas. If a person uses the methods of classical source study, he can avoid distortions and come closer to objectivity.
