The career of Aleksandr F. Sevastianov (1771 - 1824) profited from his mastery of foreign languages and closeness to aristocratic and royal families, for whom he worked as librarian, translator, and secretary. In 1799 he was appointed to the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences as an adjunct member in zoology, in which capacity he worked with the Academy's natural history collections. Sevastianov translated parts of Linnaeus' Systerna Naturae into Russian and published a textbook on geology based largely on A.G. Werner's neptunism. In 1810 he was elected an ordinary member of the Academy. His poetic works which included odes to the ruling dynasty also earned him a membership in the Russian Academy (of language and literature).
