Basovskaya Natalia Ivanovna is a name that evokes delight and respect from anyone who has listened to at least one of her lectures. But they are usually not limited to one. I would like to learn more and more about what Natalya Basovskaya can tell so interestingly. They call her jokingly, and maybe seriously, Scheherazade. This is how the editor-in-chief of the radio station “Echo of Moscow” A. Venediktov speaks of her for her endless “fairy tales”.

Some biographical information

A month before the start of the Second World War, on May 21, 1941, a daughter, Natalia, was born into a family of Russified Polish nobles (on her mother’s side). Her father, Kurenkov Ivan Fedorovich, went to the front, and one can only guess how her mother survived with an infant in her arms. However, Maria Adamovna’s health was ironclad. Despite all the hardships, she lived for one hundred and two years (1909-2011) and managed to rejoice at her daughter’s successes and take care of her granddaughter Evgenia, who was born in 1964 in her daughter’s first marriage and later became a philologist.

Studying at school and at Moscow University

In 1952-1960 A brilliant teacher, Ada Anatolyevna Svanidze, who was passionate about the history of the Middle Ages, worked in Moscow schools and would later teach at Moscow State University and Russian State University for the Humanities. It was her student who, like a sponge, absorbed knowledge, was Natalya Basovskaya. After school, she entered the history department of Moscow State University, from which she graduated with honors. Natalya Basovskaya continued her studies in graduate school and defended her thesis in 1969 on the topic of English politics in Gascony in the 13th-15th centuries. This work captivated the young historian so much that she studied Latin (she knew English perfectly) and read all the documentation on her own without a translator. Natalya Basovskaya turned over mountains of economic documents, and as a result, new information was included in the dissertation. It was she who became aware of how the British, who at that time owned Gascony, profited from the export and import of wines. They imposed a tax on the same barrel of wine twice - for export and for import - and thus clipped the coupons.

Teaching activities

Since 1971, Natalia Ivanovna Basovskaya taught at the Department of General History of the Historical and Archival Institute. But the young teacher was already collecting materials for her doctoral dissertation. At the same time, she organized a circle in which students conducted theatrical trials of famous historical characters.

In those same years, Natalia Ivanovna managed to broadcast a radio program about people who were given one, maximum two lines in school history textbooks for grades five to seven. The program was called “Radio for a History Lesson.” And then lectures appeared about Lao Tzu, Tamerlane, Richelieu and other historical figures. The result was portraits against the backdrop of history.

Defense of the thesis

This and besides, family and friends demanded time, which was not enough for the dissertation. Nevertheless, in 1988, a Doctor of Historical Sciences appears before us.

Natalia Ivanovna dedicated it to the Anglo-French contradictions of the 12th-15th centuries. At this time, the Hundred Years' War was going on. The most interesting personalities from both the English and French sides, little known to Russian listeners and readers, performed on the historical stage. It was at this time that the disparate people living in what is now France and England began to feel their unity. But the contradictions between them were so great that one of the French historians of those years wrote with all seriousness that they say that the English are not people at all: they have tails under their clothes, similar to those of monkeys. ended with a fracture caused by a little girl from Domremy, Joan of Arc. But its final completion is considered even though the peace treaty was never concluded.

Historical program of N. Basovskaya and A. Venediktov

Initially, two enthusiasts created the program “Everything is Wrong” on radio “Echo of Moscow”. In it, Natalia Ivanovna introduced listeners to the fascinating biographies of people whom she deeply studied when she was engaged in serious work on history: the historiography of the problems of the transition from antiquity to the Middle Ages or the problems of the Hundred Years War in modern historiography.

She easily and intelligibly, however, filling her stories with historical facts, talked about the people of the Ancient World and the Middle Ages. Why did eighteen-year-old Alexander the Great need the whole world? Why is the beautiful Alienor of Aquitaine considered the grandmother of Europe in the Middle Ages? Then, in 2006, the program changed its name, and it began to sound like “Everything is so.” But the questions she answered remained interesting. Is the real-life King Henry V similar to Shakespeare's character? Richard the Lionheart and Cicero, Leonardo da Vinci and Robin Hood have attracted attention throughout the centuries, and we can piece together their human image. But Natalia Ivanovna paints them vividly and vividly, as people of flesh and blood with their passions and mistakes.

TV channel "Culture"

Natalya Basovskaya’s lectures on television were a significant event. The whole country was able to see this sorceress of the word with her own eyes. It is not only the material that Natalia Ivanovna presents that is interesting, but also the way she does it. She enters the audience and happily greets young people: she is pleased with young faces who are interested in history. And people of all ages froze at the screens. Natalia Ivanovna is always smart and elegantly dressed. She loves and changes her jewelry often. What will we learn? About how the Middle Ages were born in smoke, blood and fire, how the great Rome perished and what a tragedy it was for its inhabitants. For them, the end of the world was coming in the literal sense of the word. After all, the Latins called Rome the eternal city, without doubting for a second that their foundations would last for centuries, if not millennia. Virgil, who created his poetic monument, was sure that Rome would always stand as long as the maiden ascended the Capitoline Hill and supported it. At the same time, Natalia Ivanovna quotes this poem in Latin, and then translates each line.

And it’s wonderful that we see the lecturer’s energetic gestures, which emphasize the significance of this or that phrase. From these lectures we learn about the life of Joan of Arc, about whom Natalia Ivanovna speaks with heartfelt admiration. One can only regret that the “Culture” TV channel has stopped broadcasting its “Academy” program and lectures can only be listened to from its archive, and new episodes are not released.

Literary activity

Natalya Basovskaya wrote articles based on lectures that not everyone could hear. The books they turned into do not sit on the shelves. These are publications such as "The Hundred Years' War.
