Historians in a modern media space. A historiographic note.
An independent topic is the frequency of mentioning various surnames in a modern media space.
For example, I periodically listen to the news on one of the radio stations. If not to turn off in time, other materials are provided. Here are my impressions.
With the epithet "historian" the surname starting with the letter "G" is constantly repeated. Now he is just a "historian". Little later he has a birthday (and he is congratulated), then he has to comment on something.
But the "historian", whose last name begins with the letter "M", despite all his "competence" and high position, he was pushed into the shadows. Temporarily?
There are several other figures whose surnames sound on radio waves in positive declination.
For balance, the opinion of a figure whose surname begins with the letter "S" is sometimes given. He is, logically, an opposition figure. Mentioning him and his opinion allows you to create a kind of balance of different points of view.
The surname "Karamzin" (Nikolay Mikhailovich Karamzin) may have been mentioned, but I'm not sure exactly.
I am almost sure that I have never heard the surname "Tarle" (Yevgeny Viktorovich Tarle).
In general, it seems that somewhere in the dark, behind the scenes, a list of surnames allowed to be pronounced on the radio is being drawn up.
Surnames, which are not on the mysterious list, are taboo?
In general, this is a separate interesting topic - the frequency of mentioning various surnames in the modern media environment.
An interesting question is the "list of surnames" of "modern historians".
