  Dmitri Mendeleev
Mendeleev already had his life's ambitions in mind and, hoping to extend his life as long as possible, he moved to Simferopol in the Crimean Peninsula near the Black Sea in 1855 as chief science master of the gymnasium.
Mendeleev also pursued studies on the properties and behavior of gases at high and low pressures, which led to his development of a very accurate differential barometer and further studies in meteorology.
Mendeleev was one of the first modern-day scientists in that he did not rely solely on his own work but rather was in correspondence with scientists around the world in order to receive data that they had collected.

One reason that no adequate biography of Mendeleev has yet been written is that he was as active in politics and social issues as he was in chemistry.
Under Count Sergei Witte, minister of finance in the last decade of the nineteenth century, Mendeleev served as head of the Bureau of Weights and Measures, a position that was tantamount to being science adviser to the tsar's government.
Mendeleev was never satisfied with government policies on economic development and was involved in many disputes.

Mendeleev’s career, which ran roughly from 1860 to 1905, coincided with a tumultuous period in Russian history, beginning with the emancipation of the serfs (1861) and ending with the Revolution of 1905.
For Mendeleev, that border-crossing tendency was magnified because the intelligentsia in St. Petersburg was tiny.
Mendeleev was one of these students; another was Aleksandr Borodin, who is known today mostly for his musical composition, but who was trained and employed until his death as a chemist.

 Slavic Review Winter 2001
In this article, Dunning challenges traditional scholarship concerning the identity and character of Tsar Dmitrii (reigned 1605­06), better known as the "False Dmitrii"--the only tsar ever raised to the Russian throne by means of a military campaign and popular uprisings.
This article deconstructs the legends and scholarship identifying Tsar Dmitrii as the lascivious and bloodthirsty monk-sorcerer, Grishka Otrep'ev and demonstrates that the faulty image of Tsar Dmitrii has been shaped by historians' overreliance on folklore and on the propaganda manufactured by Dmitrii's enemies.
Mendeleev had similar goals, but the two differed on the urgency of the problem--and hence the proper rhetoric for the task--and thus both spent as much time fighting the other as the movement they both deplored.
