I. Shatunovskii, Ia. Iu. Bardakh, and V. G. Kogan) for the post of privatdozent in the department of physics and mathematics (with which I. A. Linnichenko was himself connected) allegedly “not due to any doubt as to the soundness of their scientific and pedagogical training, but exclusively due to these individuals’ belonging a certain nationality that has until recently been not full-blooded, hence, of course, possessed of an excessive sensitiveness” (1905); materials on the history of Novorossiia University (from an annual report on its operations for 1902) containing statistical information on the ethnic makeup of the student body; letters, journal entries, and fragmentary notes by I. A. Linnichenko of an anti-Bolshevik and Judophobic nature (1918-19, and undated); etc.
Also housed in the fonds are print copies of the charters of Kh. I. Hokhman’s Odessa Commercial School (1897) and the Jewish National-Cultural Group of Novorossiia University students (1907); a copy of a letter addressed to S. N. Gerbel’ in St. Petersburg regarding the expected pogrom against Jews in Odessa (in October 1905) and preparations for it; etc.
- Administrative/biographical history:
- The historian, educator, commentator, and political and public figure Ivan Andreevich Linnichenko was born in Kiev (1857-1926). In 1879 he graduated from the history and philology department of Kiev’s St. Vladimir University, where he remained to train for a professorship. In 1884 he defended his master’s thesis, and then received his doctorate in 1894. He began his teaching activities as a privatdozent at Novorossiia University (1884-85), and then at Moscow University (1888-94). Upon relocating to Odessa, he lectured at Novorossiia University as an adjunct (1895) and associate (1898) professor, and bore the rank of distinguished professor from 1906-20. From 1898-1919 he served as head of the department of Russian history, and from 1906-15 he also taught at the Women’s Higher Courses. From 1911-19, he headed the university’s Odessa Bibliographic Society, of which he was also the founder. In 1913 he was elected a corresponding member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences. He lived in Crimea from late 1919 on, teaching (1921-25) at Tavriia University, and simultaneously working at the Crimean Central Archive. During the Civil War he was an extreme rightist and active in the White movement. He died in Simferopol’. I. A. Linnichenko’s legacy includes approximately 400 works; his primary research interest was the history of Russia, particularly of southwestern Rus’ (the lands of Galicia and Volhynia). He also analysed historiographic issues, and issues pertaining to historical sources, archaeography, archaeology, etc.
