Dmitri Mendeleev

Beyond Chemistry

1870s
Saint Petersburg, Russia

Beginning in the 1870s, Mendeleev cared about fields concerning his motherland beyond chemistry, looking at aspects of the Russian industry, and technical issues in agricultural productivity. He explored demographic issues, sponsored studies of the Arctic Sea, tried to measure the value of chemical fertilizers, and promoted a merchant navy.
