Toolbox for Historical and Biographical Research (Prosopographic Databases on Russian History)

Modern historiography uses a systematic approach to research past. The main difficulty is the need to process large volumes of information and use relevant methods to analyze and synthesize it. So, informational problems of research come to the foreground. These also include development of better technical means on the basis of databases and databanks that would allow storing and using information not only about an object itself, but all the “external” data that can be aggregated and synthesized in place and time and thereupon new interpretations can be searched for.
