"History is not a teacher, but an overseer: it teaches nothing, but severely punishes for ignorance of lessons". This statement of the great Russian historian, Professor of Moscow University Vasily Osipovich Klyuchevsky has long gone to the people, embodying not only the traditions of Russian historiography, but also the attitude of the Russian man to history.
An emeritus professor, pupil and successor of S. M. Solovyov, Kliuchevsky became famous in academic circles as a brilliant lecturer who gathered large audiences. He was an active member of many scientific societies, but history and teaching it to younger generations remained the meaning of his life - his last lecture Klyuchevsky gave six months before his death and until the end worked on articles on serfdom. In an era when historical science has reached unprecedented public importance, the great historian could not voluntarily leave his high post. In the pleiad of geniuses of the XIX century - the "golden age" of Russian culture - V. O. Klyuchevsky rightfully takes a place next to Alexander Pushkin, Leo Tolstoy, Pyotr I. Tchaikovsky, V. G. Belinsky. Already in his lifetime he became a national favorite and the pride of Russia. This edition introduces the reader to Kliuchevsky the portraitist - in his monumental "Historical Portraits" a whole gallery of images is collected: among them are the rulers of Russia - Ivan the Terrible, Peter I, Empresses Elizabeth Petrovna and Catherine II; and statesmen - Princes V. V. Golitsyn and A. D. Menshikov; and luminaries of Russian poetry - A. S. Pushkin, M. Y. Lermontov.
