Nikolay Nikolaevich Zinin was born in Shusha on August 3, 1812. He studied

From 1848 to 1874 as a professor of the Petersburg medical-surgical
academy, Zinin so highly lifted a level of chemical-pedagogical and
chemical-research works in it, that local funnymen offered to rename
medical-surgical in medical-chemical academy.
N.Zinin's researches resulted in very significant discoveries. Among

Historian of science N.A.Belogolovy wrote about him: "there was not... a
subject where he would not be at home: chemistry, mineralogy, botany,
geology, astronomy, physiology... and passion and shine of speech and
amazing memory"

Russian chemists. Among his disciples were L.M.Butlerov, N.N.Beketov,
A.P.Borodin etc.
