- Annotation: An overview of the main provisions of the book by the famous Russian scholar, one of the founders of the Vladimir Linguistic School, Professor V.I. Furashov, is given. It is dedicated to the chronicle pages of the history of Russian linguistics of the XIX–XXI centuries. It is noted that the author has a rare philological intonation to feel the personality of a scientist in the context of scientific achievements of the turning points of time. Among V.I. Furashov’s heroes are outstanding linguists A.A. Potebnya, A.M. Peshkovsky, L.V. Shcherba, and B.N. Golovin. The book also contains essays on the life and work of Vladimir linguists – A.M. Iordansky, P.B. Gurvich, V.F. Kiprianov, A.B. Penkovsky, A.B. Kopeliovich, V.V. Noskova. The “Appendix” contains the “List of scientific papers of Doctor of Philology, Professor V.I. Furashov” and “Candidate dissertations conducted under the supervision of V.I. Furashov”. The cycle of biographical essays “I come to Usachevka with my heart ...”, documenting the atmosphere of student and postgraduate life at the V.I. Lenin Moscow State Pedagogical University in the late 1950s – 1960s and drawing portraits of original scientists and famous creative personalities of those years, is of particular memoir value. This book was V.I. Furashov’s last major work. It will be used in the courses “Introduction to Linguistics”, “History of linguistic studies”, “General Linguistics”, in works on grammar, lexicology, history of scientific culture, in vocabulary and biographical practice.
