Projections of Andrei Zubov
On March 24, Zubov was dismissed from the institute in which he worked, from MGIMO - for the article "This was already" in the newspaper Vedomosti. In this publication, the professor applied the same scientific method as in the cycle of historical radiation - he looked at today's events in the country in the context of the past. The “War of Crimea” and persecution for scientific free thought give a wonderful reason to once again draw attention to materials from the Freedom Archive.
It is difficult to understand the reasons for what is happening in politics and public life without knowledge of the events of Russian history. Many circumstances of today: a surge in protest activity, the behavior of power, the reaction of society, the parameters of civil dialogue - are due to the historical experience of Russia. Many problems of today are inherited from the past, and, perhaps, the inability to solve these problems lies in the features of Russian folk experience.
How in the Russian past were authoritarianism and democracy combined?
What are the features of the historical development of Russia related to?
What future is the Fatherland awaits - judging by his past and present?
Why did the Moscow Principality become a collector of Russian lands?
What is the true greatness of the statesman?
What role does historical myths play today?
Why is the history of Russia full of foreign borrowing?
About this in the final issue of the program "Time of Freedom" is said by large Russian scientists:
Andrey Zubov - (former) Professor MGIMO, Doctor of Historical Sciences
Yuri Pivovarov - Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Political Sciences, Director of the Institute of Scientific Information on Natural Sciences
