Epistolary heritage by A. Y. Krymsky: Pre-revolutionary correspondence of A. Y. Krymsky and V.V. Bartold (1908-1913)

Abstract

The article presents the material about the unpublished correspondence of Ahatanhel Yukhymovych Krymsky and Vasily Vladimirovich Bartold in 1908-1913 containing historical and scientific information that allows us to expand our ideas about the directions and problems of Russian oriental studies at the beginning of the 20th century. The correspondence of two outstanding scholars from Russia and Ukraine testifies to the fact that they were brought together by the human community and the similarity of professional interests. The letters of V.V. Bartold and A.E. Krymsky show how much they were concerned about the state of science about the East and its teaching system.
