Mikhail Kublanov

Mikhail Moiseyevich Kublanov (Russian: Михаил Моисеевич Кубланов, 3 May 1914 – October 1998) was a Soviet scholar and historian of religion. Kublanov published about 100 scholar works on the history of religion and archaeology.[1] Born in the city of Sebezh, then in the Russian Empire, he graduated from the history department of the Leningrad University.[1] After the discovery of Dead Sea Scrolls Kublanov became one of the Soviet scholars who tended to acknowledge the historicity of Jesus, unlike proponents of the Christ myth theory, like Sergey Kovalev. Kublanov also regarded the Testimonium Flavianum as authentic, writing that that passage, as attested in Agapius' chronicle, "does not conflict with the political allegiance and religious affiliation of Josephus Flavius, so there are no evidences whatsoever to consider it false".[2] In 1994 Kublanov emigrated to the United States and lived in Philadelphia.[1] His works were also published in Hungary and Poland.[1]
