Abstract

In this article described the invaluable contribution of Alexander Boldyrev in Ukrainian historiography as one of the younger generation of Ukrainian historians who began to create a new page of national historiography. About Alexander Boldyrev we have very little information. However, he managed to study history of Odesa and the nation's history as a curious scientist, whose scientific work and intelligence have become real milestones in the history of Odesa and Ukraine. In the book «Historical figures» were well matched iconic hetmans in Ukrainian made a good analysis of the historiographical revision. The next book was «explosion» in the twentieth century of the history of Odessa. A landmark from which repelled with modern scholars Odessa. Introductory article by O.Boldyryev narrowly defines and explains his approach to the selection of historical essays titled - «History - a novel that was actually». Alexander Boldyrev was one of the first researchers of Odesa, who reinterpreted in a new traditional approach Liberation War led by B. Khmelnitsky in the middle of the XVII century. and proposed a new periodization of this process in the context of European history at the time. In its reasonable article that was published in the university newspaper «Odesa University» - an editor of which for short time was Alexander (Oles) Boldyrev with a pretentious title «The Great Eastern European war 1648 - 1681». The author on the eve of the 350th anniversary of the beginning of the Khmelnytsky trying to move away from the stereotypes and look at that historic event in terms of pan-historical process. Indeed, in 1648, ending 30-year-old war in Europe. And in Ukraine, a new phase of the war of the rebellion B.Khmelnytskyi which results in massive Cossack and peasant war of Ukrainian people for their rights and liberties. And because of political experience and his B.Khmelnytskyi diplomatic protection in this war drawn new state and not only in Eastern Europe. In terms of military historian O.Boldyrev identifies several components of this war, «Ukrainian Liberation war 1648 - 1654 years .; Russo-Polish war of 1654 - 1667 years .; Northern War 1655 - 1660 years .; Russo-Swedish War 1656 - 1658 years.; Polish-Turkish war of 1672 - 1676; Russian-Turkish War 1676 - 1681 «. Moreover researcher given the «modesty» of some historiographical schools notes that some of the war period referred military «campaigns», especially with the participation of Cossacks or selects periods from the perspective of the Tatar historiography has not yet held notions of Crimean-Polish War 1648 - 1654 years. Russian and Crimean War 1654 - 1681. Article by O.Boldyryev beyond the purely historical research, it has deeply historiosophical approach to crucial victory period of national history, because we think it deserves the attention of researchers, such as approaches to periodization of the Liberation War, its historical and philosophical understanding of the need broad discussions professionals especially in modern terms revaluation established values in society. This debate by publishing was wish his during his lifetime. A kind of explosion in his scientific achievements was the publication of a small book «Odesa - 600», which was an alternative to noisy celebration of the 200th anniversary of Odesa in 1994. In a sign of a kind of «protest», he did not participate in the international conference dedicated to 200th anniversary Odesa. «Odesa community» - it's just a whole page Ukrainian cultural and educational movement of the late nineteenth - early twentieth century. written on the example of Odessa. Revaluation of old Ukrainian historiography approaches a turning point in Ukrainian history - the Liberation War, Revolution of the mid XVII ct. and its approach, implemented in the context of European history. At last, unfinished book «noble Polonium over the Black Sea» - is also a milestone in the study of the contribution of ethnic groups to the development of Ukrainian history. Some pages are considered as personal life and socio-political activities. Highlighted important contribution to the study of the history of Odessa.
