Irkutsk chroniclers

The article deals with the most prominent representatives of the chronicle genre of the city of Irkutsk. The chroniclers' product, the Chronicles, is an unique historiographical phenomenon, and more specifically, a written source of the early period of our history. And if researchers still cannot come to a common opinion about the authorship and objectivity of the chroniclers of Ancient Russia, then we can make a completely objective knowledge of the chroniclers of the later period, which is important from the scientific point of view, and from the point of view of local lore in particular. The article analyzes the peculiarity of Irkutsk, which contributed to the birth of the chronicle tradition here and brought up a whole galaxy of enthusiasts of the chronicle genre, not professional historians, who reflected the events to us as they took place in the history of Irkutsk, and not according to rumors and memories. Paying tribute to the chroniclers who recorded the past of the city, the article also notes the contribution of modern historians who are committed to the idea of studying the region and those who laid the chronicle tradition for us. Special attention is paid to the historian and historiographer who wrote the history of the chronicle of the city of Irkutsk with the indication of the main biographical data of the chroniclers - Nadezhda Kulikauskene. Thanks to the chroniclers and their historiographers V. Sibiryakov, N.V. Semivsky, V.N. Basnin, I.I. Serebrennikov, Donskoy, A.I. Losev, P.I. Pezhemsky V.A. Krotov, N.K. Potapova, A.V. Dulov, N.S. Romanov, K.A. Antonov, I.V. Shcheglov, N.V. Kulikauskienė we have a clear and truthful chronology of all the most important events that happened to the city from the very beginning of its foundation. Irkutsk did not yet have a seal and coat of arms, but the first record was already made that in the city a certain Ivan Kolokolnik casts cannons and bells, Ivan Kirpichnik makes bricks, Lyubim Vyzhigalschikov burns resin and charcoal from birch, etc. Irkutsk stood out for its affairs ahead of history.
