Aleksei Nikolaevich Kharuzin

Aleksei Nikolaevich Kharuzin (1864-1932) came from a unique family of gifted Russian scholars. Scions of a prosperous merchant dynasty, the three brothers, Mikhail, Nikolai, and Aleksei, and their sister, Vera,1 chose a difficult path in their scholarly careers. All of them made lives for themselves in the fields of ethnography and anthropology and made immeasurable contributions to the treasurehouse of Russian scholarly thought. Each is worthy of separate study, though, regrettably, none has thus far been written. The Kharuzins deserve a detailed monograph for another reason as well, and that is that their working lives were closely intertwined with the history of Russia and demonstrate their abiding interest in the Russian and other Slavic peoples as well as in the numerous non-Russian peoples and ethnic groups that populated the Russian Empire
