Kotlyarevsky - an outstanding representative of that period in the development of Russian science, . which followed the first of our labors and Slavic influences Grimm in the study of our national antiquities: in Slavic studies, he was a student Bodyansky, . but soon it became an independent, . in the study of folk poetry, . - Student Buslaeva, . of which took effect Grimmovoy School, . remaining, . however, . free from extreme hobbies, . in what would fall into other followers of this school, . example, . Afanasyev and Hur,
. Miller. His first works were caused by the need to identify those methods of investigation, . which brought a new school and have not been sufficiently strict soblyudaemy in the environment of professional, . and eliminate much of the science, . that still enjoys prestige in terms of walking,
. Such was his book: "Old and nation" (1862), these were the latest special reviews of his "Poetry of views on the nature of the Slavs" Afanasyev, "Stories of Russian life" Zabelina and other.
