Charles J. Halperin (born 1946

Born in Brooklyn, New York City on 21 July 1946, Halperin received a Bachelor of Arts in history from Brooklyn College of the City University of New York (CUNY).^[1] He went on to obtain a PhD in Russian history from Columbia University.^[1]

Halperin has engaged in a years-long but amicable public debate with Ukrainian historian Serhii Plokhy about the translatio of the Rus' land from the Middle Dnieper to Suzdalia.^[3][4] In his book The Origin of the Slavic Nations (2006), Plokhy said he has found their discussions 'very helpful',^[5] was convinced by several of Halperin's arguments,^[6] and recommended his papers on 15th-century Tverian political thought (1997)^[7] and Russian historiography on the Golden Horde (2004).^[8] While continuing to disagree in his 2010 review ('The chronology of the translatio of the myth of the Rus' Land from Kievan Rus' to Moscow is still a matter of contention'), Halperin in turn praised Plokhy's 2006 book as a 'masterfully constructed mosaic', though suggesting some corrections: 'The enormous value of [Plokhy's] contribution to scholarship cannot possibly be impaired by such a critique; indeed, in the best of all worlds fine-tuning some of the tiles should improve the artistry of his overall image.'^[9] He acknowlegded Plokhy's point that he needed to revise some of his earlier publications in which he had used the unreliable reconstruction of the Trinity Chronicle for dating purposes, which Halperin (2001) himself told fellow scholars to stop doing.^[3][4] In his 2022 updated bundle of all previous articles about the Rus' land (published at Plokhy's suggestion^[10]), Halperin 'replaced citations to the Trinity Chronicle with references to the Simeonov Chronicle.'^[11]
