Abstract

RUSSIAN GEOLOGISTS IN POLAND AT THE TURN OF THE XIX AND XX CENTURYAbstract. The paper presents vitas of two famous Russian scholars: Dymitr N. Sobolew (1872–1949) and Nikołaj J. Krisztafowicz (1866–1941), who worked 20 years in Poland and produced a more complete understanding of country’s geological structure. Their scientific contributions were closely connected with their preceptors and fellow workers: petrographer and mineralogist Aleksandr J. Lagorio (1852–1922), geologist and paleontologist Włodzimierz P. Amalicki (1860–1917), and geologist and soil scientist Wasilij W. Dokuczajew (1846–1903).
