Famous Russian historian and writer Alexander Bokhanov needs help

Sad news... An outstanding historian, an excellent specialist in Russian history of the XIX- early XX centuries, doctor historical sciences Alexander Nikolaevich Bokhanov (1944-2019), seriously ill last years...

It's not easy to write about him. I owe him too much. There is no need to list books and merits - suffice it to say that the first objective book about the last reign in our modern historiography - "The Twilight of the Monarchy", published in 1993, was written by him. And then his biography of Nicholas II came out, published in the ZhZL series. She then produced the effect of an exploding bomb. I remember very well how some colleagues at the Institute gnashed their teeth Russian history RAS, which, by their very nature, were and remained deeply Soviet people ... It is now that everyone, left and right, with a breath proclaims: “Sovereign ...”, and then it was oh so far from the sovereign, but talking about this person, about this It was Alexander Nikolaevich who began the era. And few dared. I met him almost immediately, as soon as I came to the institute. Then I began to seriously study the history and genealogy of the Romanovs, and Alexander Nikolaevich warmly supported me. He even wrote a preface to one of my books, and then we often exchanged our books, and his wonderful dedicatory inscriptions are with me forever. He was a very bright, extraordinary and conspicuous person. For me, together with Dilyara Ibragimovna Ismail-Zade (with whom they were friends) and Alexander Georgievich Kavtaradze, he was the most memorable person in the institute. Somehow, together with Alexander Georgievich, we ran away from the department to the institute cafeteria, and suddenly A.N. came there. and D.I. and sat down at the next table. A minute - and an enchanting conversation began, and I caught myself thinking how happy I am: in the company of the most spectacular people at the institute and almost on an equal footing (although, of course, not) with them. And now there is no one left, they are all gone ... Alexander Nikolayevich loved life, he was always positive, sharp, precise and sybaritic in the very good sense this word. "Zhenya, more life!" He often encouraged me. His words, his statements could often be used as quotations. His books were just as bright, he wrote superbly. Of course, in recent years he has turned to topics that are very controversial and not very professionally close to him. A lot of things in his work of that time seemed superfluous to me, it was impossible to agree with something, but it was always interesting to read anyway. He had an academic flair and non-Soviet charm, and even in the company of other people, a different ideology, not particularly close to me, he still remained himself - not narrow, limited and obsessed, but free and independent. Views may differ, but the human scale has always remained great.

Dear friends!

On international conference, May 2013(Belgorod)

Alexander Nikolaevich Bokhanov (May 30, 1944, the village of Novo-Brattsevo, Moscow Region) - Doctor of Historical Sciences, professor, whose scientific baggage includes hundreds of articles, more than 40 monographs and textbooks for schools and higher educational institutions.

Bokhanov's works are distinguished by love for the past of our Fatherland, a professional attitude to a historical document, and an unbiased perception of historical characters. On the one hand, he possesses an ability, surprising for modern authors, to combine in his works a broad historiosophical approach, thanks to which he managed to create fundamental works that reveal the organic problems of the historical existence of Russia. On the other hand, in his creative baggage there are books with heartfelt, lyrical descriptions of people, their feelings and experiences. Figuratively speaking, Bokhanov acts as a skillful restorer, carefully, layer by layer, removing the distorting layers of tendentious opinions and judgments in order to present the reader with the pristine beauty of Russian history.

The desire to free Russian history from subsequent tendentious fabrications and distortions allowed Alexander Bokhanov to create works that interpret what seemed to be known for a long time in a completely different way. Such are his books about Emperor Alexander III, Grigory Rasputin, Emperor Nicholas I, Tsar Ivan the Terrible and Emperor Paul I.

In 2010 prof. A.N. Bokhanov resigned in protest against the appointment Director of the Institute of Russian History of the Russian Academy of Sciences banking historian from the Central Bank "Yuri Petrov ... on a call from Vladislav Surkov. In the elections, only 33 people out of 161 employees voted for Surkov's creature Institute of Russian History of the Russian Academy of Sciences. Soon, during the accelerated development and implementation of the "Putin" history textbook, the newly-minted director of the IRI RAS, Yuri Petrov, began to publicly declare such pearls that "it is impossible to consider the process of expanding the country's territory as colonization, since the accession of peoples, as a rule, was followed by a merger of elites": -)

Prof. A.N. Bokhanov: “After all, what is Russianness. Where does Russianness end and non-Russianness begin? ... I can single out three signs of Russianness: firstly, Orthodoxy, and secondly, it is love for one’s Motherland, love for one’s home, which is experienced as one’s own home, and I will also give one episode from my old practice, when in the early 1990s I started a textbook for high school, and there, therefore, I had a Russian history. I had, so to speak, for the first time in Russian history, Seraphim of Sarov, Filaret of Moscow, John of Kronstadt - the lights of Orthodoxy. At the federal expert council there was a terrible, terrible excitement at MGIMO. I was told that this was not in the program, which means that there is Herzen, there is Belinsky, Chernyshevsky, there are Decembrists.

As a result, of course, I was not given new textbook, did not give a recommendation, but then he left himself. But that's another story. And here it is very important to say that the regime is over, ... but the communist worldview, this linear evolutionary one, now it is called evolutionary, it remains.

But as for the youth... they are addressed to them, you understand? To turn the brains around, to make people one-hemispheric” (Scientific conference “Scientific Orthodox View on False Historical Teachings”, Moscow, National Hotel, 10/15/2010).

Archpriest Andrei Novikov:“We stand for an objective version of history. Why should we not be infected with the same zealous spirit. Why can't all our Russian leaders turn to President Medvedev, Putin, let him send Deripaska to Ukraine, bribe Ukrainian officials, let cynically correct textbooks be distributed. Look, how much money is spent on the Maidan ":-)

Putin insulted the holy Tsar-Martyr, calling him "Nikolai the Bloody":

At the NMHC them. N.I. Pirogova, December 2013 (Moscow)

Doctors say there is potential for recovery. However, in the course of treatment, the causes of stroke are not completely eliminated. It was determined that the condition of his carotid arteries required surgical intervention, but vascular surgeons refused to perform the operation, citing the peculiarities and complexity of the underlying diagnosis and concomitant diseases.

Today, Alexander Nikolaevich Bokhanov needs more accurate diagnosis, further intensive treatment, surgery on the carotid artery and subsequent rehabilitation. It is not possible to qualitatively perform the entire range of medical measures in Russia...

Requires treatment abroad. According to preliminary estimates, the cost of the entire course of treatment, including diagnostics, stroke treatment, carotid surgery and further rehabilitation, is€21,150 thousand euros (Cardiology Center, Rothenburg, Germany). The financial possibilities of Alexander Nikolaevich are extremely limited and the amount needed for treatment is simply exorbitant.

We believe that with your help, with the support of his readers, friends, philanthropists living in Russia and abroad, we can help Alexander Nikolaevich, and he will definitely recover, bring his ideas to life and delight us with new wonderful books!

The fate of the last Russian Tsar has become the subject of numerous speculations today, who is he really? “Nicholas the Bloody,” as school history books assured us not so long ago, or a Holy Great Martyr, as ROCOR MP believes? The author is convinced that the point is not how and what decisions the tsar made. The monarch was betrayed by his subjects: the aristocracy, ahead of which were representatives of the royal family, the so-called "enlightened society" and only then - the people. The fate of the last Russian Tsar, who humbly betrays himself and his family to disgrace and death, cannot but excite us also because their execution was the beginning of extrajudicial nightly reprisals, the victims of which were millions of our compatriots. The illustrative series of the book has absorbed a significant number of the rarest photographic documents.

Emperor Paul I is a tragic and slandered figure; No wonder he was called the "Russian Hamlet". This Autocrat should long ago take a worthy place on the pages of the history of the Fatherland, where his name is still obscured by various unsubstantiated tendentious fabrications. The historical portrait of Paul I must be recreated in its original authenticity, without any ideological overtones. His reign, stormy and bright, was milestone history of Russia, and it is difficult to doubt that if it were not for the tragic events of March 11-12, 1801, then the history of our country would have developed in many ways completely differently.

The book is dedicated to one of the most mysterious and most famous characters not only domestic, but also world history - Grigory Rasputin.

The third book in the series "History of Russia from ancient times to the end of the 20th century." (in 3 books)

Rep. editor A.N. Sakharov.

M.: AST, 2001.- 608s.

The third book in the series. "History of Russia of the XX century" - another or protracted "failure" in the history of mankind or another desperate attempt to defend their culture, territory, mentality, their faith as an integral element of a multifaceted global civilization? In this book, the team of authors made yet another attempt to characterize the hundred-year path passed by Russia - the USSR. Before us are periods of limited reformism by Nicholas II, the Great Russian Revolution, the Leninist-Stalinist experiment in building socialism, the competition between socialism and capitalism in the form of the Cold War, the exhaustion of the potential and decay of the existing social system, another abrupt breakdown of the country's structure at the end of the century.
