Scientists in Russian Literature

[michael.pushkin]

Dear SEELANGers,

I Grekova: "Kafedra", "Porogi", "Na ispytaniyakh"; and "Svezho predanie",
which covers the longest historical span of several generations of a Jewish
family.

And what about Viktor Shtrum in Grossman's "Zhizn' i sud'ba"?

Chekhov prose for scientists before 1920? The professor in "Skuchnaya
istoriya". Dr Ragin in "Palata No 6". And how about von Koren in "Duel'"?
All these written around 1890.
