Elizaveta I. Gnevusheva
Elizaveta Ivanovna Gnevusheva (28 January 1916,  Surazh, Chernigov Governorate Russian Empire -  11 May 1994, Moscow) was a Soviet historian - orientalist, university lecturer, publicist. In 1994, she was a recipient of the Prima Comexindo Prize. Biography 
She was the daughter of an Orthodox priest. In 1941, she graduated from the Faculty of History of V.Potemkin Moscow City Pedagogical Institute and later she completed a postgraduate course there too. In 1948, she defended her Ph.D. thesis on the emergence of the Indian National Congress and then went to Kursk, where she taught history at Kursk Pedagogical Institute. Upon returning to Moscow (1952), she worked at Moscow Institute of Oriental Studies (1952–1953), at the history department of Moscow State University (1954-1955). Since 1956, her pedagogical and scientific activities had been closely associated with Institute of Oriental Languages at Moscow State University, where she worked for more than 30 years as an assistant professor at the department of  the history of Southeast Asia and the Far East. After the death of her teacher  A. A. Guber she acted as his biographer. She was the author of several chapters on Indonesia in the university textbooks on the history of the Oriental countries. Her main scientific interests, however, were associated with Russian travellers and scholars who in the late 19th and early 20th centuries visited Dutch India, as well as some other territories of Asia and Africa. Some innovative articles on  Vasily Panteleimonovich Malygin, who took part in the anti-colonial uprising against the Dutch on the Lombok island in the 1890s stand out in particular. She was also an active propagandist of the All-Russian Society for the Protection of Monuments of History and Culture. In 1970-1980's she  supervised the restoration-and-construction student team of Moscow State University, which worked every summer in Suzdal. Some of her articles became the core of the feature novels. Awards
