Okladnikov Alexey Pavlovich - Soviet archaeologist, historian, ethnographer. Okladnikov's main works are devoted to research into the history of primitive culture, Paleolithic and Neolithic art, and the history of Siberia and the Far East.
Born into a teacher's family. While still at school, he was interested in history and local history. In 1925 Okladnikov entered Irkutsk University, here he expanded his knowledge in the “Ethnic Studies” circle of Professor B. E. Petri.
They say about Alexey Pavlovich Okladnikov that he had a unique ability to work. The academician did not drink, did not smoke, and in life, except for science, nothing else attracted him. But in archeology he was a real ace. The list of works written by Okladnikov alone amounted to about 80 pages of minute text. However, he cannot be classified as an armchair scientist. Alexei Pavlovich’s entire life was spent on archaeological expeditions; he traveled the length and breadth of the Asian part of the former USSR and often wrote his books while sitting by the fire.
He made scientific discoveries casually, that is, he literally discovered them under his feet. For example, in 1949, Alexey Pavlovich found himself on an excursion near the Egyptian pyramids as part of an international delegation. He, unlike his foreign colleagues who were admiring the beauty, immediately drew attention to the suspicious stones scattered around the pyramids. These stones had chips that only a Stone Age man could have made. So he discovered the Egyptian Paleolithic, the material evidence of which was sought in vain by scientists around the world.
In Mongolia, this story repeated itself. The Americans spent huge amounts of money on an archaeological expedition to find traces of ancient man there. We searched for several years, but to no avail. Alexey Pavlovich had just managed to get off the plane when he discovered these traces. On the way from the airport to Ulaanbaatar, he collected a suitcase full of stone finds.
In 1928, Alexey Pavlovich drew attention to one of the most remarkable monuments of rock art in Siberia - the Shishkinsky Rocks, the petroglyphs of which were first mentioned in the 18th century by the traveler Miller, and the artist Lorenius made several sketches. Okladnikov, as it were, rediscovered this monument of ancient art of the peoples of Siberia and for decades conducted his research there, based on the results of which he published two fundamental monographs.
In the 1930s, work began to identify and study ancient monuments in the Angara River valley, where the construction of a cascade of hydroelectric power stations was planned. Okladnikov led the Angara archaeological expedition, which for three years explored the banks of the Angara over 600 kilometers - from Irkutsk to the village of Bratsk. The small funds allocated for the expedition did not allow excavations of any significant scale at that time. Ancient monuments could only be recorded and, at best, cursorily examined.
During the Great Patriotic War, Okladnikov worked in Yakutia. Together with his wife Vera Dmitrievna Zaporzhskaya, he decided to take a boat down the Lena from the village of Konstantinovshchina and explore 5,000 km of the river valley from its sources to the shores of the Arctic Ocean.
In 1945, in addition to archaeological research in Yakutia, Okladnikov began excavating the remains of the camp of the Russian polar expedition (dating back to approximately 1620) on the northern Thaddeus Island and in the area of the Taimyr Peninsula (Simsa Bay). The archaeologist managed to reconstruct the picture of the death of the earliest known expedition of Russian industrialists, who walked east along the shores of the Arctic Ocean.
For more than half a century, Okladnikov went on expeditions every summer to search for and study traces of ancient man’s presence on the territory of our country. He has the honor of discovering a number of remarkable monuments of the distant past: sites and rock carvings, discovered and studied under his leadership on the Angara, Lena, Kolyma, Selenga, Amur and Ussuri, for the first time made it possible to accurately and completely present the history of the ancient inhabitants of Siberia and the Far East for many millennia.
In 1961, Okladnikov went to work at the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences (Novosibirsk, Akdemgorodok). He was appointed director of the Institute of History, Philology and Philosophy. He worked in this position until his death in 1981. Now Okladnikov’s work is continued by his numerous students who work in every city where there is a history department at the university.

They say about Alexey Pavlovich that he had a unique ability to work. The academician did not drink, did not smoke, and in life, except for science, nothing else attracted him. But in archeology he was a real ace. The list of works written by Okladnikov alone amounted to about 80 pages of minute text. However, he cannot be classified as an armchair scientist. Alexei Pavlovich’s entire life was spent on archaeological expeditions; he traveled the length and breadth of the Asian part of the former USSR and often wrote his books while sitting by the fire.
The scientist who rode on the railing
Okladnikov had a rare memory. For example, having met a person after a twenty-year separation, he easily remembered him and, without preamble, could continue a conversation that had been interrupted once. Alexey Pavlovich knew how to clearly explain even the most intricate scientific concepts. He was understood by both his colleagues and people who had nothing to do with science, shepherds and milkmaids. At the same time, his mere presence at international symposia and congresses enlivened them and completely drove away academic boredom.
In his young and mature years, Okladnikov did not walk, but flew. From the main staircases, he preferred to slide down the railings, which stunned the prim scientists. Academician Okladnikov was always surrounded by a crowd of students, looking at him with admiring eyes and ready to follow him to the ends of the earth.
He made scientific discoveries casually, that is, he literally discovered them under his feet. For example, in 1949, Alexey Pavlovich found himself on an excursion near the Egyptian pyramids as part of an international delegation. He, unlike his foreign colleagues who were admiring the beauty, immediately drew attention to the suspicious stones scattered around the pyramids. These stones had chips that only a Stone Age man could have made. So he discovered the Egyptian Paleolithic, the material evidence of which was sought in vain by scientists around the world.
In Mongolia, this story repeated itself. The Americans spent huge amounts of money on an archaeological expedition to find traces of ancient man there. We searched for several years, but to no avail. Alexey Pavlovich had just managed to get off the plane when he discovered these traces. On the way from the airport to Ulaanbaatar, he collected a suitcase full of stone finds.
Academician without higher education
Alexey Pavlovich Okladnikov was born on October 3, 1908 in the village of Konstantinovshchina (Upper Lena, Znamenskaya volost, Irkutsk province). His father was a rural teacher, his mother a peasant woman.
Lesha graduated from Anginskaya secondary school and, under the influence of its director, a passionate local historian Innokenty Zhitov, fell in love with history. The archaeological expedition that worked on the Upper Lena in the early twenties of the last century made an unforgettable impression on him. The teenager was surprised to learn from scientists that the land on which he was born is full of historical secrets and mysteries. Therefore, after graduating from Okladnikov school in 1925, he arrived in Irkutsk with a bag of archaeological antiquities that he had collected in the vicinity of the village and with a crust of bread.
From the official version of Okladnikov’s biography, adopted in Soviet times, it follows that he first entered the Irkutsk Pedagogical College, and from there he transferred to the Pedagogical Institute. In fact, Okladnikov failed to graduate from either a technical school or an institute. He started in big science without having a higher education, but ended up as a professor and academician. He was lucky to have talented mentors and colleagues nearby who helped the gifted young man from the outback develop his natural abilities. On behalf of his teacher Bernhard Petri, Okladnikov begins work in the field of archeology, which soon becomes his life's work.
In 1928, Alexey Pavlovich drew attention to one of the most remarkable monuments of rock art in Siberia - the Shishkinsky Rocks, the petroglyphs of which were first mentioned in the 18th century by the traveler Miller, and the artist Lorenius made several sketches. Okladnikov, as it were, rediscovered this monument of ancient art of the peoples of Siberia and for decades conducted his research there, based on the results of which he published two fundamental monographs.
In the 1930s, work began to identify and study ancient monuments in the Angara River valley, where the construction of a cascade of hydroelectric power stations was planned. Okladnikov led the Angarsk archaeological expedition, which for three years explored the banks of the Angara over 600 kilometers - from Irkutsk to the village. The small funds allocated for the expedition did not allow excavations of any significant scale at that time. Ancient monuments could only be recorded and, at best, cursorily examined.
Taiga saved from repression
Alexey Pavlovich attracted attention in the capital's scientific circles thanks to his successful archaeological work. In 1934, he was invited to graduate school at the Academy of the History of Material Culture. The atmosphere of Leningrad and communication with archaeologists at the Academy became an excellent school for the young researcher. From that time on, Okladnikov completely immersed himself in practical work and did it without breaks or respites. The scope of his research is expanding. There were reasons for this.
Mid-thirties, political repression. Many scientists are declared enemies of the people, among them Professor Petri, Okladnikov’s teacher (later, in 1937, the professor was shot. - Author’s note). Naturally, a student of such a teacher automatically falls under the suspicion of the NKVD. To avoid arrest, Okladnikov tried not to linger and was constantly on expeditions, and he constantly changed their location.
In 1935, a small archaeological detachment under the leadership of Okladnikov went on a special reconnaissance trip by boat along the Amur from Khabarovsk to the mouth of the river. During four months of work, Okladnikov discovered numerous sites, settlements, ancient settlements, and rock carvings of ancient civilizations here.
1936 Alexey Pavlovich, not far from the village of Nizhnyaya Buret in the Sukhaya Pad area, discovered the site of an ancient man. In Bureti, as well as in Malta, the remains of dwellings built from stone slabs, bones and animal horns, female figurines and a sculptural image of a bird, stone and bone tools of mammoth and rhinoceroses hunters were discovered.
1938 Okladnikov moves to Uzbekistan. The greatest success awaited him during the excavation of the Teshik-Tash and Amir-Temir grottoes. A burial of an ancient man was discovered in Teshik-Tash, which is still considered a unique find.
During the Great Patriotic War, Okladnikov worked in Yakutia. Together with his wife Vera Dmitrievna Zaporzhskaya, he decided to take a boat down the Lena from the village of Konstantinovshchina and explore 5,000 km of the river valley from its sources to the shores of the Arctic Ocean.
In 1945, in addition to archaeological research in Yakutia, Okladnikov, with the assistance and support of the first secretary of the Yakut regional party committee Afanasy Novgorovtsev, began excavating the remains of the camp of the Russian polar expedition (dating back to approximately 1620) on the northern island of Thaddeus and in the area of the Taimyr Peninsula (Simsa Bay). The archaeologist managed to reconstruct the picture of the death of the earliest known expedition of Russian industrialists, who walked east along the shores of the Arctic Ocean.
Okladnikov's students live all over Russia
In the 1950s, Okladnikov returned to archaeological excavations in the flood zones of the Bratsk and Far Eastern hydroelectric power stations. The first two expeditions explored Neolithic settlements on both banks of the Angara - from Shamansky Stone to. In parallel with this, Okladnikov participates in excavations in Buryatia, Primorye, Mongolia, and Soviet Central Asia and manages to return to the Shishkin writings more than once.
For more than half a century, Okladnikov went on expeditions every summer to search for and study traces of ancient man’s presence on the territory of our country. He has the honor of discovering a number of remarkable monuments of the distant past: sites and rock carvings, discovered and studied under his leadership on the Lena, Kolyma, Selenga, Amur and Ussuri, for the first time made it possible to accurately and completely present the history of the ancient inhabitants of Siberia and the Far East for many millennia .
In 1961, Okladnikov went to work at the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences (Novosibirsk, Akdemgorodok). He was appointed director of the Institute of History, Philology and Philosophy. He worked in this position until his death in 1981. Now Okladnikov’s work is continued by his numerous students who work in every city where there is a history department at the university.

Academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences, historian, archaeologist and ethnographer.
Alexey Pavlovich Okladnikov was born on October 3 (16 - according to the new style) 1908 in the taiga village of Konstantinovshchina, Znamenskaya volost, Irkutsk province (now in the Zhigalovsky district of the Irkutsk region). After graduating from high school in the village of Anta, he studied at the Irkutsk Pedagogical College, where he was sent by the Verkholensky district department of public education. Participated in the work of the local history circle at Irkutsk University.
His passion for archeology and history of Siberia began in 1925. In 1926, the first research work of the novice scientist, “Neolithic sites on the Upper Lena. Local history in the Irkutsk province." Alexey Pavlovich wanted to write the history of his village and the peasant uprising in it in the 17th century. He was interested in the life of the peoples inhabiting Buryatia. From 1928 to 1934 he worked as head of the ethnographic department of the Irkutsk Museum. He was active in atheism and participated in the creation of an anti-religious department in the museum. Work had to be combined with studies at the Irkutsk Pedagogical Institute. In 1934, Okladnikov was sent to graduate school at the State Academy of the History of Material Culture (GAIMK) in Leningrad, with which he linked his future destiny.
From the very first days in science and throughout his life, Alexey Pavlovich conducted archaeological field work in the Baikal region, Amur, Kolyma, Selenga, Yakutia, Taimyr, Central Asia, and the Mongolian People's Republic. In the Teshik-Tash cave he discovered the remains of Neanderthal man. After graduating from graduate school in 1938, Okladnikov successfully defended his thesis on the topic “Neolithic burial grounds in the Angara River valley.” At the same time, he was accepted to the position of senior researcher at the Institute of Material Culture of the USSR Academy of Sciences (Leningrad). Alexey Pavlovich worked at this institution for 14 years, holding the position of deputy director since 1949. In 1940-1945. The scientist headed the Lena historical and archaeological expedition, carried out on behalf of the Academy of Sciences and the Council of Ministers of the Yakut Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. In 1947, using materials collected during field work, he defended his doctoral dissertation “Essays on the Ancient History of Yakutia,” and in 1949 he published the first volume of “History of the Yakut Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.” As a result of A.P. Okladnikov’s study of the ancient tribes that inhabited the coast of Baikal and the history of their culture, a major study was published in two volumes, “The Neolithic and Early Bronze Age of the Baikal Region.” This work was the first to provide a classification of archaeological sites in the Baikal region. For nine years (1952-1961) Okladnikov was the head of the Paleolithic sector of the Institute of Archeology of the USSR Academy of Sciences in Leningrad. A big event in the scientist’s life during this period was the awarding of the Stalin Prize, II degree, for his work on Neanderthal man.
A.P. Okladnikov discovered and studied numerous monuments of the Paleolithic, Neolithic and Bronze Ages, and made important discoveries in the history of many peoples inhabiting the territories of Siberia, the Far East, Middle and Central Asia. The scientist shed new light on the past of representatives of the Yakut, Buryat and other nationalities, examining the relationship between them from a Marxist-Leninist perspective, showing the progressive role of the Russians in this.
Since 1961, Alexey Pavlovich linked his fate with the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences. Occupying the positions of deputy director of the Institute of Economics and Organization of Industrial Production and head of the department of humanitarian research, Okladnikov led the work of large expeditions for archaeological research of the Far East and the Angara River valley.
The scientist’s interest in issues of archeology and the ancient history of the Asian part of the Soviet Union and neighboring states (Mongolia, countries of the Pacific coast) is reflected in hundreds of scientific domestic and foreign publications. Among them are works such as “Essays on the history of the Western Buryat-Mongols”, “Russian polar sailors of the 17th century. off the coast of Taimyr", "On the initial settlement of Siberia by man and new finds of the Paleolithic on the river. Zee”, “In the darkness of millennia (In search of the first inhabitants of Asia)”, “In the footsteps of primitive man”, “Primitive Mongolia” and many others. Alexey Pavlovich's works were published in publishing houses in Moscow and Berlin, Ulan-Ude and Copenhagen, Vladivostok and Tokyo, Irkutsk and Paris, Novosibirsk and Chicago, Ulaanbaatar and Budapest. Of particular scientific importance are the works of A.P. Okladnikov on the study of the ancient past of the Central Asian republics of the Soviet Union and Mongolia. Under his leadership and with his direct participation, five volumes of “History of Siberia” were published.
From February 1967 to 1981, A.P. Okladnikov headed the Institute of History, Philology and Philosophy of the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences, was a member of the presidium of the Siberian Branch of the Academy of Sciences, chairman of the joint scientific council on historical, philological and philosophical sciences of the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences, chairman of the scientific council on problems of the history of Siberia, the archaeological commission and the commission on oriental studies.
Alexey Pavlovich’s great merit was his training of numerous archaeologists. Professor Okladnikov headed the Department of History at NSU. His students work all over the country and far beyond its borders. Throughout his life, the scientist willingly and enthusiastically gave reports and lectures to the population, trying to awaken people's interest in the historical and spiritual past.
Honored Scientist of the Yakut ASSR (1956), RSFSR (1957), Buryat ASSR (1970), Tajik SSR (1978), foreign member of the Academy of Sciences of the MPR (1974), Hungary (1976). ), corresponding member of the British Academy (1962), honorary doctor of sciences from the University of Poznan (1977) - this is the place occupied by A.P. Okladnikov in world science.
The government of our country highly appreciated the merits of the scientist in the field of archeology and history, in the training of scientific personnel. He was awarded two Orders of Lenin, three Orders of the Badge of Honor, and medals.
The memory of Academician A.P. Okladnikov is immortalized in a memorial plaque on the building of the institute he created. His personal prize was established for young scientists of the SB RAS, and a personal scholarship for students of the Faculty of Humanities of NSU.
