Hi, my name is Yan, born 2000, student of one of the
Saint-Peterburg universities - my home state and where I intend to live out my life.
History of Arts is not my field of study but also a hobby, especially
Modern history in which my ancestors were involved in many ways as you can see from my family name. My parents and grandparents were too busy battling their way out of abject poverty to care very much about such things. I, standing on their shoulders and born to relative affluence, can afford to dig into the more distant past (and try not to be blinded by the supposed glories of some rather nasty events).
I am also very interested in
alternate history, which I have to keep very separate from my university studies since some lecturers which I highly appreciate strongly frown at it. And I love fantasy very much (prefer
Ursula LeGuin's worlds to
Tolkien's).
I take an interest in political and social events, in the US and abroad (unlike the stereotype of
Middle West people...) and have a strong tendency to side with the underdog (not that it is always easy to decide who that is, in every given conflict). I am in particular supportive of
indigenous people everywhere, trying to save something from the mess which we Europeans made of their lives over the past five centuries (this I suppose tells you something about what kind of anthropologist I intend to be, if and when...).
I have only recently discovered Wikipedia and made some tryout edits, feel that I am now ready to register and try to make my mark.
That's all for now.
(I tried several times to put in my photo, did not work out. Will leave for later trying to master this pesky program...)
</ref> 15 May [
O.S. 3 May] 1891 – 10 March 1940) was a Russian writer, medical doctor and playwright active in the first half of the 20th century.[1] He is best known for his novel The Master and Margarita, published posthumously, which has been called one of the masterpieces of the 20th century -- he had been writing this novel during the last decade of his life[2].
Some of his works (Flight (play), all the works between 1922 and 1926 years and others) were banned by
Soviet government and personally by Joseph Stalin after the Glavrepertkom (Department of Repertoire) decided that they "glorified emigration and White generals"[4]. On the other hand, Stalin liked The Days of the Turbins (also called The Turbin Brothers) very much and reportedly saw it at least 15 times
[5][6]. Much of his work (ridiculing the Soviet system) stayed in his desk drawer for several decades.
