Biography
Born on January 21 ( February 2 ), 1838 in the family of a village priest. He studied at the Yaroslavl Seminary and the Main Pedagogical Institute . Prior to completing the course, in the latter he moved to the historical and philological faculty of St. Petersburg University , where he studied mainly with professors Sreznevsky , Blagoveshchensky and Stasyulevich. Commanded by a university abroad in 1862, he listened to Mommsen and Droisen in Berlin , and to Adolf Schmidt in Jena . Upon his return to Russia, Vasilievsky prepared by 1865 a master's thesis: “Political reform and the social movement in Ancient Greece during its decline”. Feeling a severe financial need, he joined the 6th St. Petersburg Gymnasium from July 4, 1867, where he spent only 2 months (until September 14) [3] and took the place of a teacher of Russian literature in the Novgorod Gymnasium , and then - a history teacher in Vilenskaya . Here he began to collect and study archival material for the history of the city of Vilna - the result of Vasilievsky’s studies in this direction was his "Essay on the History of the City of Vilna" (2 edition, 1872-1874).
Having defended his thesis in 1869, he became (1870) an assistant professor at St. Petersburg University in the Department of the Middle Ages and focused his studies on the study of monuments of Byzantine history. This study gave him the opportunity to write a number of separate studies on the dark and confusing issues of both the internal Byzantine history and the international relations of Byzantium, mainly its relations with Russia . Of these works, as the most important, it should be noted published in the " Journal of the Ministry of Education ":
- The legislation of the iconoclasts . - 1878.
- Materials for the internal history of the Byzantine state. - 1879-1880.
- Tips and stories of the Byzantine boyar of the XI century . - 1881 (see Tips of Kekavmen ).

- Russian-Byzantine passages. - 1875-1876.
- The Life of George Amastrid . - 1878.
- Life of St. Stefan of Sourozh .
In addition, Vasilyevsky published several monuments of Byzantine writing unknown to him, clarified the dark question about the works of Simeon Metafrast, and finally published the first part of the work under the title: Review of Works on Byzantine History (1890).
In January 1890, Vasilievsky was elected an ordinary academician of the Academy of Sciences in Russian and Byzantine history ( corresponding member since 1876). In the same year, he was appointed editor of the Journal of the Ministry of Education. The initiator of the creation of the “ Byzantine temporary ” (1894) and one of its editors.
