[Demographic and genealogical study of Russian Academicians from 1846-1924. (Results of a study by I. A. Filipchenko and his colleagues) (on the 275-th anniversary of the Russian Academy of Sciences)].
The main results of the study on the membership of the Russian Academy of Sciences from 1846 to 1924 published by T.K. Lepin, Ya.Ya. Lus, and Yu.A. Filipchenko in 1925 are reviewed. These results include the ethnic and social backgrounds of the academicians, their life spans, family status, and the presence or absence of artistic or other special talents. The authors of the early study concluded that academicians of the Imperial Academy originated from all classes of society, most of them were university professors, and 77 out of 150 academicians had outstanding relatives who left a mark in the history of culture.
