Mehmet Fuat Köprülü, whose ideas deeply affected my understanding of history
Hello, I am a historian from
United Kingdom. My grandparents migrated from
Tsaritsyn (today Volvograd) to
Germany during the Interwar period. And shortly before the
Second World War, they leaved Germany and moved to Britain. My grandfather Porfiry Ivanovich was a renowned linguist who spoke 15 languages. My father was a diplomat and worked at the British embassy in Turkey. I studied there and learned
oriental languages during my PhD program. I am also a member of the
Russian Academy of Sciences. I am editing Wikipedia, because one of my students claimed that I am "too old-fashioned" to do this!
