The Varangian Dispute: The History of the Conflict and the Arguments of the Parties
19.99 €
The book by the famous archaeologist L.S.Klein outlines the three-century history of the dispute about the ethnicity of the Varangians and their role in the history of ancient Russia: were they Normans or not. The positions of the two main currents in Russian historiography - Normanists and anti-Normanists - are formulated and the arguments of both are systematized. Three public discussions that became milestones in this history (with intervals of about a hundred years) are described in detail - Lomonosov with Miller, Kostomarov with Pogodin, Shaskolsky with Klein. All these discussions took place in St. Petersburg-Leningrad. L.S. Klein, whose opponents call him the leading Russian Normanist, founded the Slavic-Varyazhian Seminar at Leningrad University almost half a century ago. Many major Russian researchers grew up in this informal scientific community. The author's text, including both the book itself and the record of L.S.Klein's speech in the discussion of 1965 and several later articles outlining and arguing his position in the dispute, is supplemented by a joint article by the author and his students - a review of archaeological material on the problem of the discussion. The appendix contains the reminiscences of the seminar participants about L.S.Klein's pedagogical principles, as well as reminiscences of his former Moscow rival friends and a bibliography of the seminar participants on Varangian topics. Written in a lively language, the book is addressed not only to specialists: historians and archaeologists, but also to a wide audience of readers interested in Russian history.
