Biography
Historian Krasilnikov Sergei Alexandrovich was born in 1949 in the Tomsk region, in the special settlement of Narym, and grew up there until the age of six. In the 30s dispossessed families were sent into exile to these places. Among them were the ancestors of S. Krasilnikov. The parents were teachers.
He graduated from Novosibirsk University. In his candidate's work S. Krasilnikov analyzed the issue of the intelligentsia of Siberia in the course of the establishment of Soviet power. He devoted his doctoral dissertation to the socio-political development of the intelligentsia in Siberia from 1917 to 1930.
Memory of the repressed
For some time S. Krasilnikov worked as director of the museum of the history of Bolshevik exile. Fate gradually brought the young man to the theme of Stalinist repressions. Modern life has stubbornly led him in this historical direction. Then he took up the topic of "de-peasantization."
In 1988 S. Krasilnikov published an article “Roots or chips” in one of the city newspapers.

Historical views of the scientist
S. Krasilnikov works as the head. department at Novosibirsk University. The scientist's reflections are still relevant today. Collectivization, or repressive "de-peasantization", was the greatest tragedy for Russia. The colossal movement of the peasantry to the cities caused a phenomenon - the "neighborhoodization" of industry. And so far it has not been fully investigated. Therefore, the scientist's creative work continues. Referring to the results of studies of social psychologists, the scientist believes that the penetration of the peasant mentality into the cities brought the traditional faith in the tsar-father. Most people hope that someone will take responsibility for the country.
Analyzing the 90s of the twentieth century, S. Krasilnikov calls a fertile period for historians, because then the declassification of documents began.
