Biography
Born in Moscow, in the apartment of a certain grandmother Varneke, which he inherited as an illegitimate child. Since childhood, he played in the theater: from the age of 7 he was an extra in the opera troupe of M. V. Lentovsky . Then he studied at the 2nd Moscow gymnasium on Yakimanka , where A.N. Schwartz became his first Latin teacher, but when the circular came out on June 18, 1887 (“ On the Cooking Children ”) he was forced to return to the theater. However, under the patronage of F.E. Korsch, he was surprisingly admitted to the senior class of the 1st Moscow gymnasium . Further, with the support of the director of the gymnasium, I. O. Gobza , in 1894 Varnecke received a certificate of maturity and entered the St. Petersburg Institute of History and Philology [1] , where he studied with FF Sokolov and FF Zelinsky and who graduated in 1898 year. He taught ancient languages at the 5th St. Petersburg gymnasium and at the Tsarskoye Selo Nikolaevsk gymnasium (January 1902 - August 1904) during the direction of I.F. Then he was a professor at Kazan University (1904-1910). In April 1910, on the recommendation of E.R. von Stern, thanks to the benevolent recommendations of Yu. A. Kulakovsky and F.F. Zelinsky, he was unanimously elected an ordinary professor of the Novorossiysk University (Odessa) in the department of classical philology.
B.V. Varneke left memories of N.S. Leskov , D.N. Mamin-Sibiryak , P.P. Gnedich , D.N. Ovsyaniko-Kulikovsky , K.D. Balmonte , P.A. Strepetova and others. He wrote reviews of the tragedy of I.F. Annensky , with whom he was in correspondence.
In 1929, the candidacy of B.V. Varneke was discussed when nominated to the academicians of the All-Ukrainian Academy of Sciences (SUA).
In Soviet times, B.V. Varneke was the head of the art council of Odessa theaters (1919), chairman of the artistic council of the Odessa Opera and Ballet Theater (1934-1935), chairman of the theater section at the Odessa Regional Pushkin Committee (1937).
By 1940, the list of Varnecke’s works totaled more than 250 publications (not including newspaper articles and bibliographic notes) on the history of ancient and Russian theater, the history of Western European, Russian and Ukrainian literature, the history of art, and archeology.
During the Great Patriotic War, he remained in occupied Odessa and worked in the open Romanian administration of the Romanian Royal University, and also formally was a member of the propaganda research Anticommunist Institute (or the Institute of Anticommunist Propaganda). After the liberation of Odessa in 1944, B.V. Varneke was arrested on charges of treason to his homeland and transferred to Kiev, where he died in a hospital at the regional Lukyanovskaya prison .
On November 29, 1955, the scientist was rehabilitated "for the lack of evidence of the charge."
