Dmitry Machinsky

Dmitry Machinsky

Dmitry Alexeyevich Machinsky (b. 1937) is a leading Russian archaeologist. He lives in Saint Petersburg and works in the Hermitage Museum. Machinsky is particularly well known for having excavated Lyubsha and other Viking settlements along the Volkhov River. Machinsky attributes these settlements to the Rus' Khaganate, whose capital — as he believes — was Ladoga.
