On the Anniversary of Sergey Anatolyevich Beloborodov

Abstract

The article is dedicated to the 60th anniversary of the permanent author of the journal, historian-archaeographer Sergey Anatolyevich Beloborodov (born July 6, 1966). The scientist’s path is traced from his studies at Ural State University to his work at the Laboratory of Archaeographical Studies of Ural Federal University. A significant role in his development as a scholar was played by his participation in the archaeographic community at the Laboratory and in its field work, as well as an internship at the Moscow State Historical and Archival Institute and archival practice at the Russian State Archive of Ancient Acts. Under the supervision of A. T. Shashkov, the reseacher studied works of Nikolai Spathari, and later focused on the history of the Ural Old Believers, having defended his Candidate of Sciences dissertation in 2012. Since 2003, Sergey Anatolyevich has combined research work with teaching, while remaining an active popularizer of local history.
