Vasily Radlov

Vasily Radlov

Vasily Vasilievich Radlov or Friedrich Wilhelm Radloff ( _ru. Васи́лий Васи́льевич Ра́длов; OldStyleDate|January 17|1837|January 5May 12, 1918) was a German-born Russian founder of Turkology, a scientific study of 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.
