The Express Sketch about the outstanding historian
On the Internet I periodically meet works published under the name of Evgeny Trifonov.
I don't know, "Evgeny Trifonov" is a pseudonym or a real name. I have no information - is this a real person? (Life in modern Russia adjusts on some distrustfulness ... Literary factories work ... And why historical factories can not to work?...).
In any case, if Evgeny Trifonov is a real person, then his works on volume, detail and many other qualities can be referred to outstanding safely.
Today I read the next work Evgeny Trifonova "Mongolia: thorny road of "happy state"" (http://www.historicus.ru/mongoliya-ternistii-put/).
The work, - in many parameters, - an excellent. Check the actual data, of course, I do not have the opportunity to fully. What if something's wrong? I am inclined to believe that the facts are correct.
I agree that there is a worldview problem.
What is "better": modern civilization, potentially dangerous for the planet Earth, or - "traditional societies" (or safe, or much less dangerous for the planet Earth)?
But, reflecting on this problem, we still have to say that humanity has moved on the path of "modern civilization".
It remains to sigh and get upset, looking at modern civilization...
Where are many societies and States that previously existed "in the area" Mongolia?
It is necessary to look for them on the map with a magnifying glass ... They remained only in a history ...
And Mongolia, anyway, exists? Which country, one way or another, ensured the existence of Mongolia as a sovereign state?
Such challenges as a historic look into the deep past and the clarification of the positions of dear Evgeny Trifonov about this deep past (about 800 years ago) I don't even dare to start ... ... somehow scary ... or not comfortable...
Somehow not absolutely correctly Russia (USSR) in the 20th century behaved?.
And Stalin?... It is a lot of critical remarks at Evgeny Trifonov ...
Where positive historical characters in article Evgeny Trifonova about Mongolia? ... If very much to look, then it is possible and to find ...
Anyway, but I remain at belief that Evgeny Trifonov is an outstanding historian (if to consider those several his works which I read).
Just in case I will ask Evgeny Trifonov as person with encyclopedic historical knowledge.
After leaving from the power of the Emperor Nicholas II (he tried to delegate the power to the State Duma) there was a strange situation.
A.F. Kerensky wrote (I hope, I am exact when citing):
"... the refusal of the Duma to convene an official meeting was equivalent to political suicide".
Instead of continuation of "normal work" of the State Duma, certain "Committee" began to work ...
By whom and for what it was created?...
If we compare the personalities and actions of the members of the State Duma on the one hand, and Stalin on the other, then perhaps the members of the State Duma in their majority will look more educated and more cultured people...
But, if they really committed political suicide whether such a step was humane in relation to the vast majority of the population of the Empire?
Strange - people chose them, hoped for them, relied on them, and they ... What did they it do? What for?!!
How to decipher this their act? How after that to to think about people?!!
Members of the State Duma offended nobody ... At first sight, they looked very humanely ... Especially, they made nothing bad Mongolia (anything good, seems, too ... did not have time...).
So here is my question to Evgeny Trifonov: how to organize everything in such a way that politicians were good and humane and that everything was good?
And the main thing - that was well for all, for everybody?...
