Today, all capable citizens of Russia argue about the political structure of the state, about personal and social values. However, very few can understand the hidden meaning of events. Dmitry Furman professionally studied historical processes. In his books you can find answers to some questions.
Motive
To seriously engage in scientific research, a person needs certain conditions. It is hard to imagine that the son of a lumberjack would leave his ax and go outside to study science at the university. Although such situations in the Soviet Union met. Dmitry Efimovich Furman was born on February 28, 1943 in an intelligent family. Parents lived in Moscow. His father worked in an art workshop where various posters and banners were drawn. Mother was engaged in housework.
It is important to note that Dmitry’s grandfather was engaged in political activities in his youth. Participated in the revolutionary movement. The boy grew up and formed in an environment where discussions were constantly held about the rules for building a communist society. Furman studied well at school. His favorite subjects were history and literature. At an early age he began to read serious works and retell their contents to his younger brother. For example, he carefully studied the main work of Karl Marx, Capital.
Scientific activity
After the tenth grade, Furman entered the history department of Moscow University. By that time, a group of historians had formed at the faculty who scrupulously studied the processes of the formation of Christianity in Europe. Having received a higher special education, Dmitry entered graduate school at the Department of Oriental Studies. After the allotted time in 1968 he defended his thesis on the topic "Domestic Politics of Emperor Julian."
Then for several years he lectured at the Faculty of Philosophy of the University. Dmitry Efimovich made a lot of efforts to tell a wide audience about little-known pages from the past of Byzantium and Russia. In 1967, the first article on this subject was published on the pages of the New World magazine. Readers and colleagues were greatly interested in translating the letters of the famous Julian the Apostate, which were published in several issues of the Bulletin of Ancient History.
