Matvievskaia, G. P. (Author)
This essay surveys the life and work of the distinguished eighteenth-century scientist P. I. Rychkov, whose research focused mainly on the exploration and scientific investigation of the Orenburg region. His activities received high evaluations from V. N. Tatishchev, M. V. Lomonosov, and G. F. Miller, and in 1759 the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences elected him its first ever Corresponding Member. Rychkov's essays on "Orenburg History" and "The Topography of the Orenburg Province" serve as major sources on the history of the Ural area and on Russia's relationship with Kazakhstan and Central Asia during the eighteenth century. The author traces the history of the publication of these works and some other local Orenburg editions.
