Chemists and chemistry in Russian literature

[Muireann Maguire]

Dear SEELANGERS,

Yet another appeal from me to the wisdom of the hive mind! I am interested
in researching the portrayal of chemists (not alchemists, this time) in
Russian literature, and indeed cinema, of any period. I would be
particularly intrigued to hear about chemists from realist fiction,
including socialist realism, although characters from science fiction would
also be of interest. Biologists of various stripes are easy to track down,
physicists are not far behind, but I'm having difficulty identifying any
chemists at all. I would truly appreciate some recommendations.

Please reply on-list, and/or off-list to muireann.maguire at googlemail.com

Many thanks in advance,

Muireann Maguire
