XCIV. Igor Bogdanov. Writer, a connoisseur of historical and archival researches, specialist in Heinrich Schliemann's life history. Biographical essay

1. "Don't bring with yourself the verses of Homer..."

Approximately in November, 2015, I have read article about Heinrich Schliemann in Wikipedia. Igor Bogdanov's literature works were mentioned in article.

The destiny, "the system of success" of Heinrich Schliemann have interested me. I have taken measures for receiving of books about him.

I looked for also books by Igor Bogdanov. It was the first moment when he (I.A. Bogdanov) has caused my some amazement.

On the internet appeared the answer to the request on the website of the book trade. "Igor Alekseyevich Bogdanov": 93 goods. "Well!" - I have thought.

In the same place there was a note:

"Curriculum vitae

Igor Alekseyevich Bogdanov

Russia

Writer, historian, translator. The works by Roald Dahl, Hector Hugh Munro, George Kennan were published in his translation. The author of books on story of St. Petersburg and several books about Heinrich Schliemann".

I have briefly studied the list of references.

In consciousness I had even had an effect of certain "chaos": "Heinrich Schliemann" ... "Siberia and the Exile System"... The thought flashed too hasty, that these concepts - from the different worlds, from different civilizations. "Something wrong", "some contradiction".

Of course, these data - it isn't so much complete, but, nevertheless - some information.

At the end of November, 2015, I have ordered books by I.A. Bogdanov about Heinrich Schliemann.

I have tried to find I.A. Bogdanov's biography. I have glanced a Internet source, the encyclopedia, most popular. Alas. I have made still some attempts.

Without results.

2015 was going to the finish. I have received by mail the four books by I.A. Bogdanov about Heinrich Schliemann. 'Долгая дорога в Трою' (1994) ["The long road to Troy" (1994). - Publication in Russian], 'Генрих Шлиман. Русская авантюра' (2008) ["Heinrich Schliemann. The risky gamble in Russia" (2008). - Publication in Russian], 'Генрих Шлиман. Торжество мифа' (2008) ["Heinrich Schliemann. The victory of the myth" (2008). - Publication in Russian], ''Не привози с собой Гомера...' Письма Е. П. Шлиман Генриху Шлиману' (1998) ["Don't bring with yourself the verses of Homer..." Letters of Ekaterina Schliemann (Lyschin) to Heinrich Schliemann" (1998). - Publication in Russian].

Alas, I could not get the book 'Шлиман Г. Дневник 1866 года. Путешествие по Волге / Подготовил к изданию И. А. Богданов. СПб.: Изд во Гос. Эрмитажа, 1998' ["Schliemann H. Diary of the year 1866. Journey along the Volga/The preparation for the publication by I. A. Bogdanov. SPb.: Edition of State Hermitage, 1998" - Publication in Russian]. Was not on sale.

2. 'The long road to Troy'

Began to read. At that time I had no aim to write biographical essay about Igor Bogdanov, I did not do the special notes. But at reading there was an autobiographical information, stated by Igor Bogdanov; in the memory some of the details remained.

Now, when writing this biographical essay, I them (these details) have summed up. Quite a logical action. Detailed biographical sources, characterizing the life of Igor Bogdanov, I did not meet. The aforementioned books of Igor Bogdanov are further quoted (other quotations are stipulated specially).

Let's see - for a moment - into the pre-war (pre-revolution?) times of past. Speaking about one of the business Russian partners of Schliemann - P. I. Ponomarev, who used in the letter the phrase "amiable mnuk [grandson]", I. A. Bogdanov notes: "In the same way I was called by my grandmother, M. D. Savinova. She was a native, like P. I. Ponomarev, from the Yaroslavl Governorate, and about from the same places."

(On the websites, on the internet I later met the information-not yet confirmed, that I. Bogdanov was born in 1949, graduated from the Faculty of Philology of Leningrad University).

In 1990 the book by I. A. Bogdanov "The Long Road to Troy" was issued. Energy, interest, enthusiasm, passion of the author to some extent were ahead of the process of obtaining accurate biographical knowledge.

Bogdanov called the book of 1990 the work, which containes "inaccuracies and mistakes".
