Yakutsk biography of the city

The history of the city of Yakutsk: there are still unknown pages - and there are no more “white spots” on the pages of the annals of Yakutsk. Are unknown pages remained in the history of the city, can we expect new scientific discoveries? We asked this question to a well -known scientist and local historian, candidate of historical sciences Panteleimon Petrov.

It is not for nothing that the city of Yakutsk and Yakutia as a whole was called the outpost of the development of the North-East of Asia and the Far East. ” Of the last facts and events in the history of the city and the Yakut region, Panteleimon Petrov called the identification of the autograph Praskovya Egorovna Sergeeva. She was the sister of Mother Afanasy Uvarovsky, the author of the first work in the Yakut language, a native of the village of Zhigigansk, Russian by nationality.

Back in the year, Uvarovsky published in the Yakut language “Akhtyylar” “Memoirs” as part of the works of Otto Betling himself, a scientific-linguist, academician. Afanasy Uvarovsky was familiar with Alexander Middendorf, the famous researcher of the North-East of the Russian Empire, the Yakut region. Now Panteleimon Petrov is studying the history of the cities of pre -revolutionary Yakutia.

These are communicative relations and opportunities in different years, business relations, paperwork, which, in my opinion, will open a lot of new things and give food for future research. ” The unique personal exhibition of Panteleimon Petrov opened at the Museum of the History of the city of Yakutsk in the Old City. It is noteworthy, Panteleimon Panteleimon Panteleimon opened on World Historian Day, celebrated annually on March 28.

The exhibition presents unique historical materials and items from Panteleimon Panteleimonovich Panteleimon Petrov, copies of archival documents identified and collected from the country's archives, including from the archive of the city of Juno, Alaska, USA. Few people know that the Foundation of Mikhail Zinovievich Vinokurov, a native of the city of Yakutsk, is stored there.

In the turmoil of revolutionary events and the civil war, he managed to take out and preserve his unique library, photographs and his archive.
