Abstract

These recollections are shared by Viktor Mykhailovych Ryapolov, a graduate of the Faculty of History of A. M. Gorky Kharkiv State University (now V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University) from the class of 1984. As a first-year student, he began writing term papers under the guidance of Professor B. A. Shramko, and from his third year he specialized in the Department of Historiography, Source Studies, and Archaeology. The essay reflects on the significant influence that the department’s talented teachers had on the author.
