Everything about Vasily Radlov totally explained
Vasily Vasilievich Radlov or
Friedrich Wilhelm Radloff (; –
May 12,
1918) was the
German-born
Russian founder of
Turkology, or the scientific study of the
Turkic peoples.
Working as a schoolteacher in
Barnaul, Radlov became interested in the native peoples of
Siberia and published his ethnographic findings in the influential monograph
From Siberia (1884). From
1866 to
1907, he translated and released a number of monuments of Turkic folklore. Most importantly, he was the first to publish the
Orhon inscriptions. Four volumes of his comparative dictionary of
Turkic languages followed in
1893 to
1911. Radlov helped to establish the celebrated
Ethnography Museum in
St Petersburg.
In the wave of
Stalinist repressions in the late 1930es, the ethnically German W.Radloff was incriminated by
NKVD and state science apparatus with
Panturkism, and connection with the long late W.Radloff served as a pretext for killing or repression of Orientalists and Turkologists, including Academician
A.N.Samoilovich who was killed in 1938.
