When we need an example, we turn to the experience of outstanding people. Their biographies inspire achievements, their experience is invaluable, they want to match internally and in their actions. Rulers, writers, scientists, philosophers, educators, musicians, artists of past centuries and the present - the collection of articles “Personalities in History” is dedicated to them. Since many of them are our compatriots, we have included articles dedicated to them in a separate collection “Personalities in History. Russia", which was published in 2014. These articles were published for more than 10 years in the magazines "New Acropolis" and "Man Without Borders" and invariably aroused enormous reader interest. The authors of the articles are scientists, natural science teachers and philosophers with extensive practical experience.
