> Dear all,

> I'm doing some groundwork for a future project on the depiction of
> scientists as fictional characters in Russian literature from the late
> Romanov period to the Second World War. I'm also interested in doctors,
> especially those with scientific ambitions (such as Bazarov), and in
> alchemists. The post-1920 period is virtually cluttered with fictional
> scientists (Beliaev's Wagner, Bulgakov's Preobrazhensky, Platonov's
> various,
> etc.), but they are much thinner on the ground before this. I'm hoping that
> the many-times-proven expertise of the Seelangs community can suggest a few
> names. I'm interested in fictional scientists from all periods, in
> principle, but I would be particularly grateful to read your suggestions
> relating to the period 1890-1920.

> With gratitude in advance,
