Nikolai Pavlovich Anziferov
Nikolai Pavlovich Anziferow ( Russian: Николай Павлович Анциферов ; born July 30, 1889 in Kiev , † September 2, 1958 in Moscow ) was a Russian historian , writer and local historian .
Life
In 1915 he graduated from the Faculty of History and Philology at Petrograd University and became assistant to Professor IM Grewsa.
From 1921 to 1924 he not only taught at the Petrograd Research Excursion Institute, but also held the chair for Medieval Studies at the Second Pedagogical Institute. From 1921 he was also a member of the "Old Petersburg" society.
In the book “The Soul of Petersburg”, published in 1922, he discovered Petersburg through the eyes of poets and artists. From Pushkin to Gogol and Lermontov to Akhmatova , this city has inspired the greatest writers in Russia to write poems and stories. Nikolai Anziferow, the incomparable chronicler of Petersburg, follows literature as well as his own powers of observation in his search for the soul of his city.
From 1934 to 1936 he worked in the Municipal Museum in Moscow and from 1937 in the State Literature Museum . He settled in Moscow in 1939, where he wrote a dissertation on the "Problem of Urbanization in Literature" in 1944 .
Not only did Anziferov Nikolai explore his homeland to create an artistic image, he also shed light on the role a city plays in the life of any artist.
In the course of the dogmatization of historiography in the late 1920s and early 1930s, the Anziferov school fell "under the wheels of Stalinist repression".
