The Ancient Russian Crimea in the Works of George Vernadsky (for publication of G. V. Vernadsky’s article on “Korsun in the Russian-Byzantine relations”)

Summary/Abstract: The main purpose of this article is to expose, analyze and publish the article ‘Korsun in Russian-Byzantine relations,’ written by the prominent Russian-American historian George Vernadsky. The Crimea played the great role in his life. He worked here in the local university in Simferopol and served in the government of P. Vrangel. From here he had to begin his emigrant’s life. But he is also the remarkable investigator of Crimean history. The history of this region the scholar studied in his famous ‘The History of Russia’ in five volumes (six books), in ‘The Origin of Russia,’ and many articles and essays. But one of the most interesting articles, devoted to the history of Crimea, has not been published until now. This work has its own interesting story: Vernadsky wrote it for the famous ‘Annales’ of the Seminarium Condakovianum in Prague. During the ‘30s he made great efforts to reanimate this venerable institution. But all his efforts did not achieve the desired result and the institution closed. One of the results: the ‘Annales,’ and the article of Vernadsky remained unpublished. А. Dvornichenko is not only publishing here the Vernadsky’s article with the ‘Résumé’ and additions which were had made by the author himself, but also tells about the conceptual world of Vernadsky as a whole. This historian all his scholarly life supported the idea of ‘Ancient Russian Crimea.’ In the other words he found the presence of the Russians in the Crimea during the Middle Ages.
