Abstract
The article examines the biography and scientific activity of the historian Valentin Ivanovich Kholmogorov (1903‒1942) from Leningrad State University, who was the first in Soviet historiography to research the problems of the Late Roman army. Unfortunately, the Siege of Leningrad cut short the life of the scholar, who died of starvation at the age of 39.
