This morning, I read “King Henry the Sixth” by William Shakespeare. The works by this great dramatist and poet always inspired me. I even have a dream to learn The Complete Works by William Shakespeare by heart. However, I am not sure if this will come about soon.
Tonight, I have had a telephone conversation with my Teacher, poet, songwriter, singer, composer, prose writer and scientist, Eugene Lobanov. In his last email, he asked me to give him this phone call in order to discuss some things on the subject of my future creative activity as an epic poet. To be honest, he told me a bunch of different interesting things about his distant relatives, his personal studies of history, genealogy and other “subsidiary historical disciplines” (a common name for sciences like chronology, numismatics, philately, vexillology, metrology, paleography, etc. in the context of other historical disciplines). Later, he offered me to write an epic work about one of his relatives who lived in the 16th or 17th century. This was just an offer; he did not insist, though.
I admire his determination and purposefulness. He has accomplished a great work through the Internet. He was lucky, to a degree, because his relatives came from the western part of Russia and they were conquering Perm’ the Great, the territory of the modern Permsky Krai of Russia, originally populated by the Finno-Ugric tribes. These tribes were the ancestors of the modern Finns, Hungarians, Mordvins and some other nations. Eugene Lobanov promised to send me a PDF-version of a book on that subject, so I am still waiting. The reason why I call him “lucky” is because the Perm’ archive is the only one in Russia , if not in the World, which has published its birth registers on the Internet, so that anyone can get access to them at no cost at all! I will repeat myself, saying that his relatives were closely connected with those places.
Eugene Lobanov has also accomplished a great deal of work studying the history of the Cossacks, for some of his ancestors were Cossacks as well. He also knows a lot on this subject.
