-Caveat Lector- http://www.imh.ru/main_e.htm Institute of Metahistory About Institute of Metahistory Name and Logo -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- | projects | sponsors | partners | how to contact us | russian version | -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The Institute of Metahistory was founded in February 1997, and is an autonomous non-profit organization (Russian Federation State Registration #639026). The Institute of Metahistory unites people who believe that the existing ideas of the past of the human civilization can be wrong in many respects, since they were evolved on the basis of data which can hardly be considered exhaustive, and bear the imprint of a vast number of stereotypes. We think that as a result of closer cooperation between different sciences, the renunciation of biased opinions and the arrogant confidence that modern science, at least basically, knows everything about everything, a fuller and more reliable picture of the past of the human civilization could be reconstructed. We are aware that all the suggestions must be substantiated and verified, and all the assertions - proved. And this we will do. The supreme managing body of the Institute of Metahistory, taking decisions on all the key issues, is its Collegium, which is composed of: Alexander BYALKO, D.Sc. (Physics and Mathematics), Member of the Board of the International Association of "What? Where? When?" Clubs; Georgios PANAGOPOULOS, film and theatre director; Viatcheslav KOUDRIAVTSEV, Member of the Russian Geographical Society of the Russian Academy of Sciences - Director of the Institute of Metahistory. The Board of Trustees of the Institute of Metahistory renders assistance in the realization of the projects of the Institute of Metahistory and supervises its activities from the viewpoint of their conformity to the objectives and aims of the Institute and the legislation in force. The Board of Trustees has not been completely formed, as of today it includes: Alexander GORODNITSKY, Professor, D.Sc. (Geology and Mineralogy), Full Member of the Russian Academy of Natural Sciences, Head of Laboratory at the Shirshov Oceanology Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Member of Writers' Union, President of the Association of Russia's Bards. Many scientists, experts in various fields of knowledge, cooperate with the Institute of Metahistory. We are grateful to all of them for their good will attitude, their researcher enthusiasm and the scientific assistance they are rendering to the Institute of Metahistory in the realization of its research projects. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RESEARCH PROJECTS OF THE INSTITUTE OF METAHISTORY The list of research projects which follows below, is not an arbitrary assortment of "hot" topics.
