Abstract
The article tells about a textbook on the history of the Ancient world, written by A. I. Nemirovskii in the early 1960s. This textbook participated in a competition for secondary schools, but lost to F. P. Korovkin’s textbook, which was released in a multimillion circulation. Nevertheless, A. I. Nemirovskii’s textbook was published in 1962 with a circulation of 300 thousand copies as a textbook for evening schools. Due to the fact that the author’s manuscript has survived, a comparative analysis of the initial text and that which was published in 1962 is possible. A. I. Nemirovskii made considerable efforts to make his textbook attractive to the reader, for example, he himself selected one and a half hundred illustrations, which were replaced during publication with standard illustrations prepared by the publishing house. Comparison with a textbook for schools published at the same time by F. P. Korovkin, shows that the degree of unification of the narrative in Soviet historiography was high, especially in the field of teaching history, and some original moments belonging to the pen of A. I. Nemirovskii were almost completely leveled out during editing. Despite the originality of the figure of the author himself, in his textbook one cannot notice the desire to go beyond the unified narrative of Soviet historiography developed by that time.
这篇文章讲述了一本由a·i·涅米洛夫斯基在20世纪60年代初撰写的关于古代世界历史的教科书。这本教科书参加了中学的竞赛,但输给了f·p·科洛夫金的教科书,后者的发行量达到了数百万。然而,a·i·内米洛夫斯基的教科书作为夜校教材于1962年出版,发行量达30万册。由于作者的手稿保存了下来,因此可以对最初的文本和1962年出版的文本进行比较分析。a . I. nemirovski为使他的教科书对读者有吸引力做出了相当大的努力,例如,他自己选择了150个插图,在出版期间被出版社准备的标准插图所取代。与F. P. Korovkin同期出版的学校教科书比较,可以看出苏联史学叙事的统一程度很高,特别是在教学历史领域,一些属于a . I. nemirovski笔下的原创片段在编辑过程中几乎被完全抹平了。尽管作者本人的形象具有独创性,但在他的教科书中,人们无法注意到超越当时苏联史学统一叙事的愿望。
