Platonov's scholarly career was centered on the University Of St Petersburg , where he was held in highest repute for his detailed studies of the Time Of Troubles and Oprichnina . Platonov's history textbooks, impeccably written and easily readable, enjoyed such popularity that he was asked by the tsar to teach history to his children. In 1909 , he was admitted to the Russian Academy Of Sciences . Unlike many of his disciples, Platonov did not change his views after the Revolution and stood aloof from the mainstream Marxist historiography, as represented by Mikhail Pokrovsky . Nevertheless, he was permitted to administrate the Pushkin House (i.e., the Russian Literature Institute) in 1925 – 1929 and the Academy's Library in 1925 – 1928 . On January 12 , 1930 Platonov was accused of taking part in a royalist conspiracy, arrested and exiled to Samara , where he died three years later. Most of his books were republished after the downfall of the Soviet regime. |
