And. Alekseev A. and A. Alekseev: encyclopedic reference

Alexander Ivanovich Alekseev is an outstanding research scientist, a famous geographer and historian of the development of the Far East, Kamchatka and Russian America, a historian of the Russian Pacific Fleet, a Doctor of Historical Sciences and a Candidate of Geographical Sciences. The scientist is rightly called the chronicler of the Far East; he has written and published more than forty books. He is a veteran of the Baltic and Pacific fleets, an Honorary Citizen of the city of Sovetskaya Gavan.

A. I. Alekseev was born in the village of Shchurovo, Borisoglebsky district, Yaroslavl region. His grandfathers and great-grandfathers lived in the Yaroslavl region, he knew his ancestors well, as he considered it his duty and duty to preserve his family tree and pass it on by inheritance. Extraordinary memory and intelligence, heroic health and stature are hereditary traits of the Alekseev family, which Alexander Ivanovich fully inherited. Since childhood, he not only dreamed of travel and long voyages, but also prepared for them. He especially wanted to see the Arctic. At the age of fifteen, he was ready to enter a naval school: he read everything he could get his hands on around the world, naval battles, great navigators, and even graduated from school early in order to quickly get into the Navy. But the first attempt to become a cadet failed: there were age restrictions for admission to military schools, so the fifteen-year-old boy was simply not accepted there.

But still his dreams came true. First, he graduated from the Leningrad Higher Naval School named after M. V. Frunze (1938-1941), and after the Great Patriotic War - the hydrographic department of the Naval Academy of Shipbuilding and Weapons named after A. N. Krylov (1947-1950). ). The Naval School named after M. V. Frunze (now the Peter the Great Corps) is the oldest educational institution in Russia, a former naval cadet corps, from whose walls many great navigators emerged, among them Admiral G. I. Nevelskoy, whose life and fate are especially interested A.I. Alekseev throughout his life.

A. I. Alekseev loved to study; both the exact sciences and the humanities were equally easy for him. Teachers singled him out for his originality of thinking, and his brilliant memory was the slight envy of his fellow students. In the near future, real sea voyages awaited the cadets, perhaps discoveries, if the Great Patriotic War had not broken out in 1941.

From her first to her last days, Alexander Ivanovich was at the front. He graduated from school in Astrakhan, the path to which lay through the fiery Ladoga road. In the fall of 1941, he left for the active army, the Marine Corps, where he was part of the 66th Separate Marine Rifle Brigade. He fought on the Karelian and North Caucasus fronts, took part in the Battle of Stalingrad and the defense of Leningrad. He was wounded twice and received a very severe concussion, accompanied by loss of speech. After being treated in Ulyanovsk at hospital No. 999, A. I. Alekseev was sent to advanced training courses for command staff at his native naval school, evacuated to Baku. Here he studied at the cartographic department, and in 1943 he was appointed to the position of senior editor of the North-Western cartographic publishing production of the Hydrographic Directorate of the Navy.

The road to besieged Leningrad again lay through fiery Ladoga. In September 1944, A.I. Alekseev, wanting to get back to his native element, the sea, submitted a report on transfer to the Baltic Fleet. From that time until November 1947, he served on the hydrographic vessels of the Baltic Fleet: “Rulevoy”, “Boatswain”, “Sextan”, “Barograph”. Ships changed, positions changed: senior mate, ship commander, detachment navigator. Warships in the Baltic, whose waters were stuffed with mines, kept a combat watch day and night. The daily work of mine sweeping was not only difficult, but also extremely dangerous, so the tension did not leave the sailors for a minute. A. I. Alekseev celebrated the long-awaited Victory Day 1945 in Leningrad.

After the Baltic, his military service continued in the Pacific Fleet. He came to the Far East, to the city of Sovetskaya Gavan, after graduating from the academy, taking the position of senior officer in the hydrographic department of the North Pacific Flotilla. Here, during five years of service, Alexander Ivanovich learned the customs of the Seas of Okhotsk and Japan, plowed, in his words “crawled,” the coastal waters of these seas, especially the Tatar Strait and the Amur Estuary. He knew well not only the Okhotsk coast, where he chose places to install lighthouses, but also the biographies of the discoverers of these places. Historical books about Russian, English, Spanish and Dutch sailors always found a place in his cabin. An irresistible desire to learn more about the fate of his compatriots who made world geographical discoveries and founded Far Eastern ports led him to research work. The sailor was haunted by the history of the port and city of Sovetskaya Gavan. He looked for answers in historical literature, made inquiries into dozens of archives, and spent all his holidays in the archives of Khabarovsk, Irkutsk, Tomsk, Moscow, Leningrad. Soon his early research works began to be published, and in 1955 the first book “N. K. Boshnyak and the opening of Sovetskaya Gavan.”

A. I. Alekseev’s serious passion for the history of the development of the Far East began during his years of study at the academy, and his service in the Pacific Fleet finally determined the range of his future scientific interests. In 1956, due to combat wounds, he had to leave military service (he received the second group of disability). From now on, the work of his entire future life will be research work in the field of Far Eastern history and geography, and literary activity. After demobilization with the rank of captain 3rd rank, A.I. Alekseev and his family moved to Moscow. As a promising researcher, he was invited to the Institute of History of the USSR of the USSR Academy of Sciences. A.I. Alekseev is thirty-five years old. He has some literary experience, the ability to work in archives, knowledge of naval affairs and foreign languages (he knew English, German and Spanish, and easily read Old Church Slavonic cursive writing of the 17th-18th centuries), and there are many ideas and creative plans ahead.

In 1958, his books “Okhotsk - the cradle of the Russian Pacific Fleet” (Khabarovsk), “The Shmalev Brothers” (Magadan) were published; in 1959, the works “On the taiga paths of Sakhalin” (Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk), “Admiral Nagaev” (Magadan) were published; in 1961 - “Chukchi scientist Nikolai Daurkin” (Magadan). The secret of such efficiency lay in the ability to correctly pose questions and find accurate answers to them, in the ability to analyze and compare facts. There was probably some luck in this. But the naval service taught me to save and value time. In 1959, three years after leaving the navy, he defended his dissertation for the degree of candidate of geographical sciences, the topic of which was “Russian geographical studies of the Bering, Okhotsk and Japanese seas in the 19th century.”

Around 1961, Alekseev began working on the topic of developing the mouth of the Amur. The significance of this work was such that in 1970 he became a Doctor of Historical Sciences, defending his dissertation “The Amur Expedition of 1849-1855” in Vladivostok. For him, this event was of particular significance also because he became the first “Vladivostok” doctor of historical sciences. Based on the materials collected during the work on this dissertation, the author later wrote a series of books dedicated to the Amur expedition.

The Far East and Russian America are links of one historical chain. The exploration and development of these territories are closely interconnected. By the beginning of the 1970s. A.I. Alekseev collected a sufficient amount of material to begin work on the cherished topic. The historian wrote about his passion for Russian America: “Gradually, painfully for a long time, for at least ten years, first gropingly, and then more confidently, I approached my favorite topic - the fate of the primordially Russian lands in the Pacific Ocean and North America . I wanted to show in a form accessible to every reader the entire history of the exploration and development by Russian people of the Aleutian Islands, Alaska, the Pacific coast of North America, right up to California. Show the inner life of Russian America, talk about ordinary people who almost every day performed feats for the glory of Russia.”

According to Alekseev, he “from the very beginning of his scientific activity carried in his heart the history of the Russian Far East and especially the history of Russian America.” Of course, he wanted to see with his own eyes at least once the places he wrote about. But getting to Alaska during the Iron Curtain years was a hopeless matter. And even when his book “The Fate of Russian America” was published in English in the USA and Canada, he could not even dream of visiting this very Russian America, the history and geography of which he knew as well as his Moscow.

Over time, the idea of organizing a scientific expedition to Russian America became real. But still it took a long time to wait for its implementation. Only thirty-five years later, when the world-famous historian was already seventy years old, he finally saw the country of his dreams. In July and August 1991, the Pacific expedition “Russian America - 250” took place, dedicated to the 250th anniversary of the voyage of the packet boats “St. Peter” and “St. Paul”. In this expedition, Alekseev headed the scientific part, being on the flagship ship Akademik Shirshov. The approval of the expedition project, and then the progress of its preparation, of course, was helped by his name and authority. But, in the words of Alexander Ivanovich himself, “God only knows how much effort and energy was spent on the implementation of this idea. But the joy of the meetings was great.” Its archive contains various materials and documents about the work of the expedition, numerous souvenirs and photographs. But from the large handwritten material, called by the author “Thirty-five years and four hours”, dedicated to this expedition, he managed to publish only one article (Russian America magazine for 1993).

A. I. Alekseev at the celebration of the anniversary of Russian America

Legends circulated not only about the scientist’s amazing performance, but also about his unique archive. He is well known to domestic specialists. It included materials professionally and scrupulously collected over more than forty years, which reflected the history, geography, hydrography, cartography of the North Pacific Ocean and Russian America, the entire Far East, including the construction of the BAM. First of all, a wealth of cartographic material is stored here; numerous extracts from documents in the archives of the former USSR; correspondence with scientists, institutions, party and public organizations since 1950. Of particular value are the systematized personal funds of N. N. Muravyov-Amursky, G. I. Nevelsky, P. V. Kazakevich (according to the scientist, “this fund was practically not published and almost not used by researchers”), I. F. Likhachev (commander of the Pacific squadron), Russian America Foundation. It contains not only archival materials, but also the addresses of the descendants of the discoverers who now live in Russia and abroad. The personal fund of G. I. Nevelsky, one of Alekseev’s favorite characters, is a unique collection of materials related to the activities of the famous admiral and his associates, the navigator’s entourage and his family.

An independent part of the archive are photocopies, microfilms, collections of portraits and photographs, covering almost all researchers of the Far East, the North Pacific and Russian America. The collection's funds also include the author's manuscripts of all books and a personal library.

The significance of the archive is that Alekseev was the first to create personal funds of many outstanding historical figures. The materials for them were collected together from different repositories throughout the country. It is possible that over time the Alekseevsky archive will serve as the basis on which a specialized collection of documents and materials about outstanding figures of the Far East will be created. After the death of the scientist, his collection, supplemented by the researcher’s personal documents, became the property of the State Archives of the Sakhalin Region (Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk).

Despite the heavy workload at his main job, the scientist always found time for social activities. Alexander Ivanovich was a member of various scientific Councils and Associations, managing to work actively everywhere. He served on the board of the USSR Travelers Association and was a member of the Academic Council of the Moscow branch of the USSR Geographical Society. His archive was used by historians, writers, and local historians not only from Moscow, but also by researchers who came from Kamchatka. A.I. Alekseev never refused consultations to anyone. Until his death, he consistently and carefully maintained friendly working relationships with archives, museums, and libraries of Far Eastern cities, was aware of local history work in the field, conducted extensive correspondence, and often came to the Far East himself. Alexander Ivanovich visited Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky more than once.

During A. I. Alekseev’s lifetime, more than three hundred works and over forty books on the history of the Far East and Russian America were published in various scientific, popular science, and artistic publications. Four of them were published in the USA, Canada, France, two were published in the Moldavian and Chukchi languages. These books show the history of geographical discoveries, the processes of population formation, characterize the peculiarities of economic development of the territories under study, that is, they reveal the essence of their development. The scientist’s works are devoted to the history of hydrographic studies of the Far Eastern seas and the North Pacific Ocean, as well as the seas of the Eastern sector of the Arctic. The scientific biographies of seafarers F.P. Litke, G.I. Nevelsky, G.A. Sarychev, N.K. Boshnyak, which make up the golden fund of the “Scientific and Biographical Literature” series, enjoy well-deserved attention from readers. Alexander Ivanovich is the author of many reviews and anniversary articles.

The historian discovered new, previously unknown names of Russian ascetics who served Russia faithfully. Among them are the preparator I. G. Voznesensky, navigators A. F. Kashevarov, I. F. Vasiliev, brothers V. and T. Shmalev, scientists N. V. Slyunin, K. I. Bogdanovich, I. P. Tolmachev and many other. Today, many of the scientist’s works are our only sources of historical knowledge. His early works have long become a bibliographic rarity. The scientist’s creativity was highly valued by his domestic and foreign colleagues. Academician A.P. Okladnikov wrote: “His books represent a valuable contribution to the history and historical geography of not only our country, but also the entire Pacific Basin.”

A.I. Alekseev was a wonderful storyteller and storyteller. According to a playful description of his friends, he was “smart, talented, powerful, lucky, and also a historian.” Historians “live” part of their lives in past centuries. Therefore, they freely, in detail, set out the course of long-past events, show their reasons, and draw conclusions. This is how they reveal bygone eras to their contemporaries. Alexander Ivanovich showed us the history of the development of the Pacific basin.

In addition to serious scientific monographs, A. I. Alekseev wrote books that can be classified as popular science or artistic genres. Their language is expressive, bright, and understandable to a wide range of readers. Generations of Russian history lovers 1950-1970. We grew up doing these works, we were literally engrossed in them, they passed from hand to hand. The brilliant presentation of the material instantly carried the reader into the historical past. It was thanks to the work of this talented researcher and writer that many, many researchers from all over the country came to local history. The latest edition is the second edition of the work ““The Anchors Little by Little.” This is how Vladivostok began,” published in Vladivostok in 2000.

The rich heritage of A. I. Alekseev has yet to be studied, but now it is absolutely indisputable that it will always be a starting point for researchers of future generations.

Biography

During the battles he was wounded twice and received a severe concussion, accompanied by loss of speech. After being discharged from the hospital, A.I. Alekseev was sent to advanced training courses for command staff, where he studied at the cartographic department.

While still studying at the Academy, A. I. Alekseev became interested in studying the history of the development of the Far East, and service in the Pacific Fleet allowed him to carefully study the geography, hydrography and cartography of the North Pacific Ocean.

He published more than 40 monographs, books and about 200 articles on issues of geographical and hydrographic research of the Far East and Russian America. A world-famous scientist, he maintained constant contacts with many colleagues from France, the USA, Canada and Brazil. Before retiring in 1990, he was deputy. editor-in-chief of a series of collections of documents in six volumes “Research of Russians in the Pacific Ocean in the 18th - first half of the 19th centuries.” (volumes 1 and 2). He combined intensive scientific activity with extensive social work: he was a member of the Academic Council of the Moscow branch of the USSR Civil Defense, a member of many scientific councils and associations of the USSR Academy of Sciences (on historical geography, on the history of Russian foreign policy, the Association of Historian Researchers of Russian America, etc.).

Alexander Ivanovich Alekseev died on May 27, 1993 in Moscow, and was buried in Khimki.

Alexander Ivanovich Alekseev is an honorary citizen of the city of Sovetskaya Gavan.

On December 2, 2009, Alexander Ivanovich Alekseev, Doctor of Geographical Sciences, Professor of the Department of Economic and Social Geography of Russia, Faculty of Geography, Moscow State University, turned 60 years old.

The staff of the Institute of Demography and the editors of Demoscope Weekly cordially congratulate Alexander Ivanovich Alekseev on his anniversary, wish him good health, creative success and achievements for the benefit of social geography and demographic science.

Alexander Ivanovich was born in Donetsk, from where, after graduating from school in 1966, he came to enter the Department of Economic Geography of the USSR, Faculty of Geography, Moscow State University and successfully graduated in 1971. After completing his postgraduate studies, in 1975 he defended his PhD thesis on the topic “Economic-geographical study and forecasting of rural settlement” under the guidance of S.A. Kovaleva. At the same time, he began working at the Department of Economic Geography of the USSR.
