Mikhail Nikolaevich Tikhomirov (1893-1965) fully deserved to remain in the memory of the Russian scientific community both as a historian of source studies and as an unsurpassed organizer of science, who aimed young people at developing academic understanding of Russia's past. The author’s attention is focused on the peculiarities of the perception of his personality by students as the creator of one of the first scientific schools in the historical science of the XX century. The historiographical sources were texts of personal origin of historians or elements of ego texts in their historiographical works. Their study revealed a significant subjective psychological and anthropological factor (the personality of the scientist and his psychological motivation) in the formation of an original and promising scientific school of M.N. Tikhomirov. In many ways, it ensured the preservation of the academic traditions of historical science in prerevolutionary Russia during the transformations of the transition to the USSR. A periodization by generations of the scientific school of M.N. Tikhomirov is proposed.
