Ivan Zabelin

Ivan Egorovich Zabelin is a whole epoch in Russian historiography both on the scale of the ones made by him and for life expectancy in science. He was born five years before the uprising on the Senate Square, and died three years after " blood Sunday" The son of a small Tver official, early lost his father and given to the alone, slain, having only five classes of the orphan college behind his back, became famous historian and an archaeologist, the author of two hundred printers, including eight monographs. He had a chance to communicate with the people of Pushkin Circle (M.P. Pogodic, P.V. Nastokhokin, S.L. Sobolevsky), to be friends with I.S. Turgenev and A.N. Ostrovsky, advise L.N. Tolstoy. He headed the historical museum for many years, where after his death passed the most valuable collection of ancient manuscripts, icons, cards, engravings, books after his death.

"Homemade life of the Russian people in the XVI and XVII centuries" is one of the main works of slain. For him, he was awarded prestigious scientific awards: the gold medal of the Academy of Sciences, the Big Silver Medal of the Archeological Society, the Uvarov and Demidov Prizes. Zabelin explained his interest in the "household" side by the fact that the scientist must first know the "domestic life of the people in all its parties, then events and loud, and invisible assessed will be incomparably or closer to the truth."

The monograph was based on the essays slain, which in the 1840-1850s regularly printed in the "Moscow Vedomosti" and "Domestic Notes". Collected together, systematized and supplemented, they made up two volumes, the first of which - the "home life of the Russian kings" - saw the light in 1862, and the second - "home life of the Russian tsaritsa" - for years later, in 1869. Over the next half a century, the book sustained three reprints.

The latter came out already in 1918, when the topic " tsarsky Rosta"Rapidly lost the relevance.

About the reason why the Casual life of the Moscow courtyard in XVI and XVII centuries, historian wrote: "Old Russian homemade life and especially the life of the Russian Great Sovereign with all its charters, provisions, forms, with all the refinement, Ghost and Chatlike, most fully expressed to end of XVII century. It was the era of the last days for our home and social antiquity, when everything was strong and rich in this older, expressed and ended in such images and forms that it was impossible to continue on to go further. "
Studying the monarch of life on the threshold of the new time in the book under the general name "home life of the Russian people", the author once again claimed his favorite idea of \u200b\u200bthe unity of power and society: "What the state is also the people, and what the people are such and the state."

The chronicle presents the last lifetime publication of labor slain. Compared to the previous ones, it is supplemented with new information on the items of royal consideration, floor plans of the Kremlin Palace and drawings made from the originals stored in the historical museum.

Ivan Egorovich Zabelin (1820-1908) is an outstanding Russian historian and an archaeologist, chairman of the Society of History and Antiquities, an honorary member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. His studies relate mainly to the ancient Kiev era and the Moscow period of Russian history. The writings of the historian peculiar to the expressive and original language, unusually colorful and rich, with archaic, folk tint. Exploring the ideological foundations of Russian culture, he emphasizes an important role. economic relations in history. The historian sought to find out the "roots and the origins" of Russian life, revealed borrowing in culture from neighboring peoples. As a leading representative of the direction of "household history", Zabelin paid attention to any trifles, from the aggregate of which the life of our ancestors was.
Fundamental labor I. E. Zabelina "Homemade life of the Russian kings in the XVI and XVII centuries" is devoted to the restoration of the foundations and the smallest details of the royal life, the development of ideas about the royal power and Moscow as the center of stay of the kings, the history of the construction of the Kremlin and the Tsarist Choir, the inner reflection ( architectural innovations and ways of external decor, technical details of the interior, paintings of walls, interior, luxury objects, clothing, pets, etc.), rituals related to the king person and the court record (that is, who from the royal environment had the right to come In the palace, as it should be done, what business services and posts were at the court, the duties of the royal doctors, the appointment of various palace premises), the routine of the day in the palace (sovereign classes, which started with the morning prayer, the decision of state issues and the role in this Boyar Duma, Dining time and afternoon entertainment, cycle orthodox holidays, whose center was the sovereign yard).
The traditional magnificentity and closure of the Russian grand jelly, and then the royal court invariably called in contemporaries curiosity, which was destined to remain dissatisfied - the entrance to the inner rest of the palace, especially on his female half, was ordered for almost everyone, with the exception of a narrow circle of servants and relatives . Peel into this sweated from the world around, do it delicately, not getting inevitable in such a situation with romantic legends or fantastic gossip, is not the task of the lungs. Historians who attract common laws The development of the state, economy and society, rarely turn to such topics. However, there are also happy exceptions - the work of an outstanding Russian historian and archaeologist Ivan Egorovich Rabelina (1820-1908).
The inner routine, the household structure of the Moscow Palace, the relationship between its inhabitants is traced to be ground in all their picturesque details, with a detailed description of a variety of rites and ceremonies, which are accompanied by an explanation of their ritual meaning and deep significance. All stories I. E. Obelin are based on genuine historical material with whom he had the opportunity to meet, working in the archive of the Armored Chamber of the Moscow Kremlin. "Homemade life of the Russian tsaritsa in the XVI and XVII" - the second part of a more general study is slain "Homemade life of the Russian people in the XVI and XVII centuries."

General features of the position of a female personality in the Dopurerovskogo society. The judgment of the Kotoshikhina and the judgments of the idyllic researchers. Indigenous principle Old Russian society. Generic life. Idyll family and communal life. The meaning of the genus and the meaning of the community. Generic idea is the idea of \u200b\u200bparental will - guardianship. The dignity of the person was "Fatherland". Scene and evening the essence of the expression of the ancient Russian public. Its significant. - Generic idea is a teacher of a Russian personality. Domostroy - School of Personal Development. What the identity independence was relying. - The main features of the nature of the Russian personality. Officers of will and childhood will. The overall characteristics of the Dopurerov Company.

Kotoshin in his well-known essay "About Russia in the reign of Alexei Mikhailovich," says that when there were Moscow ambassadors at the wedding from the Polish king, then the embassy was ruled and brought the wedding gifts from the king and from the queen especially king and especially Queen. Edit the embassy meant to fulfill it self-facing Potentat. Wanting to thank the Moscow king to the same extent, and the Polish king sent to the king of his ambassadors and ordered the embassy to edit and give the gifts from himself and from Queen, I darius and Tsarice, too, everyone especially, as we did our ambassadors in Poland. This, of course, required ordinary statements, ordinary etiquette in mutual relations of two sovereigns. But by fueling the embassy and bringing the gifts to the king, Polish ambassadors, in Moscow customhave not been admitted to the queen. "And to the queen of the embassy to edit and see her did not allow, says Kotoshin; And they defied the following: called the queen sick; And she was healthy at that time. And he listened to the ambassibility ambassadors, i.e., ordinary speeches, and the gifts for the queen took the king himself. " It also happened to the English ambassador, who came to the king with gifts to the same occasion in 1663.

Why do you do so? I will ask Kotoshin, wanting to open ingenians for whom he wrote his essay, the true causes of this custom, and making it aims to this commemorant answer.

"In order, he is responsible that the Moscow state female sex literacy, and not the custom to eat and another mind is robes and the sediments are dismissed and shames: Further from infant years before the marriage of their fathers they live in secret quiet, and they will overshadow their neighbor, other people, no one, and they can not. And therefore it can be realized, from which they would be much intelligent and brave. Also, however, they will go away, and they are because people see little. And only a king at that time he learned that he ordered the Polish ambassador to be his own at the embassy; And she would have heard the embassy by the answer, she did not learn any, and it came from the most king in shame.

The present case, why the queen was not received by the Embassy, \u200b\u200bKotoshovin explains not quite true, because the embassy ingenous ambassadors directly before the scene of the queen strictly revealed the oldest custom. The ambassadors could not see the queen because the king was afraid of shame from her unfeasured, and smooth soviets, and therefore the king trains were completely inaccessible not only ingenic ambassadors, but also for their people, even for boyars and the whole yard, with the exception of the closest to her People, usually close to her relatives or the most trusted servants of the yard. But, incorrectly explaining private case, Kotoshin is very true and quite thoroughly depicts the situation of a female personality in our old society, draws validity, over the gradual creation of which all centuries worked hard and whole line generations. With short words, but very alive, he draws along with the characteristics of the society itself, because the characteristic of a female personality always serves as a completely faithful image of society itself. In vain, we will reject severe, perhaps too tough truth of this review, leading to the proof of some names that felt the life and mental and moral independence of the female personality; In vain, we will soften the simple and maybe because of these incorruptible words too rude and sharply, pointing to some idylls, which were expressed, sometimes even very complacent, family and public relations Women's personality and which, to tell the truth, in that beauty, what they are attributed to, there are only in the imagination of good defenders of all the good and moral in shape. Neither a single name, that is, the person, which can always, with the well-known circumstances of life, nominate itself from the general course, even with strongly glorious; neither complacency of any idyll, which is exactly also it happens, As it all always happens and happens in human life, the word to say: neither are some private and therefore random phenomena are unable to obscure from us in these words a real light of life truth, the real light is real, and not imaginary life. Reviewed by Kotoshikhina, justifies not by any exclusive single phenomena, but all the construction of the Dopererov Russian life, general Regulations and the untouchability of the then life, all the moral element of society. Some historical phenomena, some legal definitions that attached to the woman independent meaning can not hesitate the very foundation of old views. Such personalities like eg. Sofya Vitovtna - Lithuanka, Sofia Fominishna - Grechanka, Elena Vasilyevna Glinskaya, - Also Inozka, who, as you know, used some of the fraction of women's freedom, at least sometimes took personally ingenious ambassadors and did not hide in their sorry when circumstances demanded their participation in such ceremonies; such individuals as inamemics can not explain to overall characteristics. Some share of independence belonged to them in part because they were stranchthat their personality, by their ingenia and high meaning their kind, herself already acquired a special, independent position in the eyes of Russian society, which could not be equal to naughtyAnd therefore dismissed some of their actions from the usual restrictions of female life. But, brought up in the customs who gave a greater expanse of a female personality, they, however, in the Moscow Palace, should have lived in the way I wasted, that is, they should have submitted to those concepts and the orders of life, which were generally dominated in Russian land. And these concepts read quite sleepy Any circumstance, where the female personality acquired any public sense. These concepts recognized her freedom and then to a certain extent, in alone family relationship and in the provisions of an exclusively family hostel. How soon the hostel made any public form and from home, the family sphere went to the sphere of life public, then it was found that the female person does not have its own place here, which is without special gap In a public hostel, she cannot become near the person of a man. The well-known development of ideas and ideas in this direction was generally led to the fact that the female personality had a public hostel in society in society, not to mention that her own chastity, with such a feat, in the eyes of the century, died finally. One man solely belonged to the interests of the public. He one possessed a temper to live in society, live socially. A woman remained the duty to live at home, live family, to be a man exclusively homely, and in a significant sense to be together with the house and households only to the instrument, a means of a public person - men.

In one case, the independence of the woman was legitimate and indisputable, in the case when she became a glance at home; And this could only happen in the fact when, by the death of her husband, she remained mother widow, that is, the widow - mother of sons. And we see that materaia The widow in ancient Russian society plays in some respects a male role; we see that the type of this person acquires strong independent traits and in public life and in historical events, and next. and B. folk poetry, in the eponym and songs. It enjoys both significant legal rights.

Historians who attract the general patterns of development of the state, economics and society, rarely turn to such topics. However, there are also happy exceptions - the work of the outstanding Russian historian and the archaeologist Ivan Egorovich is slain. The inner routine, the household structure of the Moscow Palace, the relationship between its inhabitants is traced to be ground in all their picturesque details, with a detailed description of a variety of rites and ceremonies, which are accompanied by an explanation of their ritual meaning and deep significance. All stories I. E. Obelin are based on genuine historical material with whom he had the opportunity to meet, working in the archive of the Armored Chamber of the Moscow Kremlin. In understanding I. Zabelin, life is a living fabric of history, creating various trifles and everyday realities, which allows you to present in detail and feel historical being. Therefore, any trifle is important for the researcher, from the aggregate of which the life of our ancestors was. The writings of the historian peculiar to the expressive and original language, unusually colorful and rich, with archaic, folk tint.

Fundamental work I.E. Zabelina "Homemade life of the Russian kings in the XVI and XVII centuries" is devoted to the restoration of the foundations and the smallest details of the royal life, the development of ideas about the royal power and Moscow as the center of the Kings stay, the history of the construction of the Kremlin and the Tsarist Choir, their inner decoration (architectural innovations and ways of external decor , technical details of the interior, paintings of walls, furnishings, luxury objects, clothes, pets, etc.), rituals associated with the king person and the Court Protocol (that is, who from the royal environment had the right to come to the palace, as was done, What business services and posts were at the courtyard, the duties of royal doctors, the appointment of various palace premises), the routine of the day in the Palace (sovereign classes, which started with the morning prayer, the decision of state issues and the role in this Boyar Duma, lunchtime and afternoon entertainment, the cycle of Orthodox holidays, the center of which was the sovereign yard).

The special chapter is devoted to the childhood of Peter the Great. I.E. Zabelin explores the questions in question in their development, noting changes in household details. As applications to the book, the most interesting documents relating to the court life, for example, "notes regarding room and overwhelming bars", "Mural of Armory Tsarevich Alexey Alekseevich" and much more. Huge work and patience put I.E. Zhebelin to restore the live painting of the past, but thanks to this, his fundamental essay is still one of the best examples of household history.

Ivan Egorovich Zabelin (1820-1908) is a whole epoch in Russian historiography both on the scale of the ones made by him and in the life expectancy in science. He was born five years before the uprising on the Senate Square, and died three years after the "bloody Sunday", the son of a small Tver official, who had lost his father and given to the pool, slain, having only five classes of the orphan college behind his back, became a famous historian and Archaeologist, author of two hundred printers, including eight monographs. He had a chance to communicate with the people of Pushkinsky Circle (M.P. Pofodin, P.V. Nastokhin, S.A. Sobolevsky), to be friends with I.S. Turgenev and A.N. Ostrovsky, advise L.N. Tolstoy. He headed the historical museum for many years, where after his death passed the most valuable collection of ancient manuscripts, icons, cards, engravings, books after his death. "Homemade life of the Russian people in the XVI and XVII centuries" is one of the main works of slain. For him, he was awarded prestigious scientific awards: the gold medal of the Academy of the Academy, the large silver medal of the archaeological society, the Uvarov and Demidov Prizes. Zabelin explained his interest in the "household" side by the fact that the scientist must first know the "domestic life of the people in all its parties, then events and loud, and invisible assessed will be incomparably or closer to the truth." The monograph was based on the essays slain, which in the 1840-1850s regularly printed in the "Moscow Vedomosti" and "Domestic Notes". Collected together, systematized and supplemented, they made up two volumes, the first of which - "home life of the Russian kings" - saw the light in 1862, and the second - "home life of the Russian tsaritsa" - seven years later, in 1869. Over the next half a century, the book sustained three reprints.

The latter was released already in 1918, when the topic of the "royal life" rapidly lost the relevance. About the reason why the center of the study was chosen by the daily life of the Moscow court in the XVI and XVII centuries, the historian wrote: "Old Russian homemade life and especially the Russian great sovereign with all its charters, provisions, forms, with all deability, genuine and felting the most Fully expressed by the end of the XVII century. It was the era of the last days for our home and social antiquity, when everything was strong and rich in this older, expressed and ended in such images and forms that it was impossible to continue on to go further. " Studying the monarch of life on the threshold of the new time in the book under the general name "home life of the Russian people", the author once again claimed his favorite idea of \u200b\u200bthe unity of power and society: "What the state is also the people, and what the people are such and the state." Mammoth "home life of the Russian people" - the last lifetime publication of labor is slain. Compared to the previous ones, it is supplemented with new information on the items of royal consideration, floor plans of the Kremlin Palace and drawings made from the originals stored in the historical museum.

Zabelin, Ivan Egorovich (1820, Tver - 1908, Moscow) - Russian archaeologist and historian, specialist in the history of the city of Moscow. Corresponding Member of the Imperial Academy of Sciences on the category of Historical and Political Sciences (1884), Honorary Member of the Imperial Academy of Sciences (1907), the initiator of the creation and comrade Chairman of the Imperial Russian Historical Museum of the Emperor Alexandra III, secret Counselor. Having finished the Preobrazhenskaya school in Moscow, could not continue their education due to lack of funds and in 1837 he entered the service of the second category in the Armory of the Chamber of Commerce. Acquaintance with the Terrain and Snegier awakened in a scareful interest in the study of Russian antiquity. According to archival documents, he wrote his first article about the rides of the Russian kings at the Bogomol in Trinity-Sergiev Lavra, printed in the abbreviated version in the Moscow Provincial Vedomosti in No. 17 for 1842. The article, the already converted and supplemented, appeared in 1847 in the "Reading of Moscow Societies of history and antiquities, "and at the same time, Zabelin was elected to the community-competence members. He read the historical horizon of slaughter, read the granovsky at home - in 1848 he received a seat of the archivist's assistant in the palace office, and from 1856 he served here the place of the archival. In 1853-1854 Zabelin works as a history teacher in the Konstantinovsky Meeting Institute. In 1859, at the proposal of Count S. G. Stroganova, Zabelin moved to the imperial archaeological commission by the younger member, and he was charged with the excavations of Scythian Kurgans in Ekaterinoslav province and on Taman Peninsula, near Kerch, where many interesting finds were made. The results of the excavations are described by grounding in the "antiquities of the Gerodotovoy Scythia" (1866 and 1873) and in the reports of the Archaeological Commission. In 1876, Zabelin left the service in the Commission. In 1871 University of St. Vladimir honored his degree of Dr. Russian history. In 1879, he was elected chairman of the Moscow Society of History and Antiquities and then by the comrade Chairman of the Imperial Russian Historical Museum named after Emperor Alexander III. In 1884, the Academy of Sciences chose a concern to the number of corresponding members, and in 1892 - an honorary member. At the solemn celebration of the 50-year-old anniversary in 1892, the whole Russian scientist welcomed was welcomed. Relief research relate mainly to epochs Kievan Rus and the formation of the Russian state. In the area of \u200b\u200bthe history of life and archeology of ancient times, his work occupies one of the first places. Relieved interested in the fundamental issues of the life of the Russian people. Distinguishing the feature of his works - this is faith in original creative forces Russian people and love for a lower class, "strong and healthy morally, the people of the orphan, the people of the breadwinner." A deep acquaintance with ancient and love for it was reflected in the language of slain, expressive and original, with an archaic, folk tint. With all his idealism, slain does not hide and negative Parties Ancient Russian history: bringing the role of personality in the family and the Domostroev family and so on. Viewing the ideological foundations of Russian culture, he also notes the importance of economic relations in the history of politics and culture. The first capital compositions are slain - this is the "home life of the Russian kings in the XVI-XVII centuries" (1862) and the "home life of the Russian tsaritsa in the XVI-XVII centuries" (1869, 2nd Edition-Grachevskoe - in 1872); They were preceded by a number of articles on certain issues of the same kind, published in the Moscow Vedomosti 1846 and in "Patrican Notes" 1851-1858. Along with a thorough study of the lifestyle of the king and the queen, there were also research on the importance of Moscow as a fiber city, about the role of the Palace of the Soviet, about the situation of a woman in the ancient Russia, about the influence of the Byzantine culture, about the generic community. The theory of primary origin of the state has important importance. The continuation of the I head of "homemade life of the Russian kings" is the article "Big Boyarin in his faithful farm" ("Journal of Europe", 1871, No. 1 and 2). Published in 1876 and 1879. Two volumes of "the history of Russian life from ancient times" are the beginning of extensive work on the history of Russian culture. Zabelin wanted to find out all the original foundations of Russian life and its borrowing from Finns, Normanov, Tatars and Germans. In the name of the identity of Slavs, he leaves the Norman theory. Zabelin retreats here from his former look at the birth as a natural strength that oppressed and the destroyed personality. Relaxing the value of the generator, he says that "the father-home truck, leaving the house and becoming in the ranks of other householders, became an ordinary brother"; "The fraternal genus represented such a community, where fraternal equality was the first and natural law of life." In addition, the scarer was published:

"Historical description of the Moscow Don Monastery" (1865)

"Kuntovovo and ancient Setunsky Stan" (M., 1873, with an essay history of the feeling of nature in ancient Russian society)

"Preobrazhenskoe or Preobrazhensk" (M., 1883)

"Materials for the history, archeology and statistics of the city of Moscow" (1884, h. I. Ed. M. City Duma)

"The history of the city of Moscow." (M., 1905).

The first reason for the conversion of akin to the events of Troubles was a controversy with Kostomarov, who in his historical characteristics Minin and Pozharski used later and unreliable sources. Zabelin in his polemical essays convincingly proved the incorrectness of such an approach, and then turned to other controversial issues of the history of Discharge. In subsequent essays, he outlined his point of view on the essence of the events that took place; showed the tendency and unreliability of many of the data of the famous "legend" Abrahamiya Palcin; He spoke about the forgotten, but in his own very interesting hero of the Troubles - Starta Irinarhe. Soon, the whole series of essays that appeared initially by the magazine "Russian Archive" (1872, №№ 2-6 and 12) was published by a separate book, which was popular until 1917 withstand several publications.

Zabelin, Ivan Egorovich He was born in Tver on September 17, 1820 His father, Egor Stepanovich, was the scribe of the Kazny Chamber and had a rank of college registrar. Shortly after the appearance of Son E.S. Zabelin, having received a position in the Moscow provincial rule, moved with his family to Moscow. Life was as if it was impossible, but suddenly the trouble happened: only Ivan was seven years old, his father unexpectedly died. From this point on, the "irresistible disasters" alone was settled in the house of groundless. Mother interrupted random earnings, Little Ivan served in the church. In 1832, he managed to enroll in the Preobrazhensky orphan school, at the end of which Zabelin never could continue his education. In 1837-1859. Zabelin served in the palace department of the Moscow Kremlin - Archives of the Armored Chamber and the Moscow Palace Office. Acquaintance with old documents awakened a serious interest in the beginning scientist historical science. Without having funds for learning at Moscow University, he was hardly engaged in self-education and gradually acquired fame in scientific World Moscow works on the history of the ancient Russian capital, palace life of the XVI-XVII centuries, the history of Russian art and craft. Truly popular recognition received his books "Homemade life of the Russian kings in the XVI and XVII century", "Kuntovovo and ancient Setunsky Stan", Children's book "Moscow-Mother - Golden Makov" and others. In 1859-1879. Zabelin consisted in the Imperial Archaeological Commission, in 1879-1888. He was the chairman of the Russian history and antiquities of the Russian. Since 1879, on behalf of the Moscow City Duma, the scientist has begun to compile a detailed historical description Moscow, at the same time since 1885, leading hard work as a comrade of the Chairman of the Russian Historical Museum, with whom fate tied him to the end of life. Museum was for I.E. Relieved by all - his love and meaning of existence. The huge scientific authority of the scientist raised the prestige of the museum in society on an unprecedented height. Representatives of all classes and eminent collectors carried at the museum, both separate items and entire meetings. He served the museum more than a third century, I.E. Zabelin expressed the most cherished thought in the will: "I read my own daughter with your own daughter with my own daughter, Maria Ivanovna and the Imperial Russian Historical Museum of Alexander III, so in the event of my daughter's death, all the inheritance, without any exception, will go to the property of this historic museum ... no other Heirs that could ever appear, I do not leave the poreshiki. " In the will, he also handed his sorry for all the years of service and collected by him throughout the life of the collection. I.E. Zabelin died in Moscow on December 31, 1908 at the age of 88 and was buried at the Vagankov cemetery.
