Yuri Knorozov : A Difficult Student

I was born in the ceramics-village turned military-industrial-complex of Ulyanovsk, Russia. Laboratories and universities were the main commodity of the city, and were the setting of the early years of my life.

While attending the Moscow School of Southeast Asian Areas, Krupitzyn enrolled as the Ambassador-designate for Sarkhan. After his designation as the future ambassador to Sarkhan, he and his wife dedicated two years to learning about Sarkhan. They learned not to just speak, but to read and write Sarkhanese. Louis’s study of the socially acceptable model of a Sarkhanese man and the subsequent modeling of his life on those principles further highlight his understanding of the operational environment in

He two older siblings were also deported to Poland for slave labor. After the Nazis were defeated they moved to Gzhatsk where he continued his education.

A woman in her forties, blond hair with accurate haircut that was popular at the end of the ’90s and big brown glasses sliding down her nose was my Russian language and Russian Literature teacher, Olga Kaptilova. As far as I remember, she never changed her image and she used to wear below the knee skirts and decent blouses every day. As an individual, she was quiet, sympathetic, emotional, patient and very intelligent. As a successful teacher, she taught life instructions and personally, she helped me to build the first bricks in my adulthood after my school graduation. Her aged wisdom was sort of motivation for me to look at one’s life through the different prospective. Not many teachers go so deep to inspire their students. Olga Kaptilova was

Have you ever thought how it would be to live during the soviet time? Well in the book I read “ One Day In The Life Of Ivan Denisovich” by Alexander Solzhenitsyn it tells us about how the main character, Ivan lived when they took him to the camp. It shows how difficult of a life he lived and how difficult of a life it was to live during the soviet time. I think the most interesting part of the story was when he was sentenced ten years in a forced labor camp.

His writings provide historians with source information about the Provisional Government and the Kornilov Affair. Alexander Kerensky wrote a history that was flattering towards him where it concerned his involvement in the Provisional Government and the Kornilov Affair. This biasness tints the objectivity he purports to write as it is harsher towards General Lavr Kornilov and the Bolsheviks, and less so of the Provisional Government. Danish historian Jørgen Munck agrees Kerensky’s writings must viewed as suspect for Kerensky admitted to having to change the official text not only editorially and stylistically, but also Kerensky altered the chronological order of two unspecified instances. Leonid I. Strakhovsky, a contemporary of Kerensky’s, does not have a positive impression of Kerensky. Born in Russia and holding a doctorate in history, Strakhovsky displays pre-revolutionary values in his writing. He portrays Kerensky as a villain who not only betrayed Kornilov but the Russian people. Strakhovsky is more conservative than Kerensky and finds fault with Kerensky for the Bolsheviks coming to

Service, says he and his Russian friends and colleagues instantly recognized that it was a book that would endure through the ages” (Krastev).

Ahkmatova’s sacrifice and loyalty to her country and its people didn’t go unnoticed, and they loved and admired her deeply for her commitment to them, and to Russia. As D.M. Thomas explains in the introduction, “she had become deeply loved and revered by her countrymen. To them, she was the conscience of Russia; she had not fled to safety as other had done after the Revolution; she had chosen to stay and endure, and to ‘bear witness’. She died in 1966. Five thousand people, mostly the young, crowded to her requiem mass in a Leningrad church,” (Thomas 2-3). A resounding theme of Ahkmatova’s poetry is bearing witness and being a voice from the darkness to speak against the machine of communism and socialist realism.

While some consider his methods are questionable this Russian leader managed to gain the reputation as the most interesting man in the world. He was born in 07 October 1952 in what is now called as Saint Perersburg, Russia.
