Abstract
Vinogradskii was a Russian scientist. The simple restatement of this fact, however, only begins to explain the wide recognition he enjoyed during the Soviet period—and still enjoys today. In the last decades of Imperial Russia, he had gained a reputation as a leading figure in world science through his novel scientific discoveries, and by contributing significantly to the institutional and disciplinary development of Russian science. During his second, French career, he never returned to Russia, yet Soviet scientists continued to cite his publications. Even during the Soviet period, when émigrés like Vinogradskii could be dangerous contacts, a significant number of Soviet scientists maintained correspondence with him and visited his laboratory in Brie-Comte-Robert.
