| Summary: | This article is devoted to the problem of relationships between the historian Robert Wipper and his students. While working at the Department of World History of the Faculty of History and Philology of the Imperial Moscow University, professor Wipper could propose candidates for working at the University with the aim of subsequent preparation for professorship. We found twelve people who were left at the Department at the request of Wipper and who thus can be considered his disciples. All of them wrote their fi rst degree dissertations under his supervision. They typically became acquainted during Wipper’s seminars in World History. None of Wipper’s students managed to defend their theses before the Revolution, nor did most of them pass master’s exams. The most signifi cant achievement was the title of Privatdozent received by G. M. Prigorovsky and N. M. Lukin. After the Revolution, most of Wipper’s students continued to do research and to teach, obtaining academic degrees in the Soviet period. The Professor was popular among the “leftist” students; there were a number of Marxist historians among his students who become major scientifi c functionaries and cooperated with Soviet authorities. One of them, V. P. Volgin, criticised Wipper’s views during his teaching in Latvia. Though staying in line with Soviet historical science, Wipper’s students continued to develop themes that originated before the Revolution. |
