Abstract
Aleksandr Porfir’evich Borodin belongs among the outstanding Russian men of science and art of the second half of the nineteenth century. He was a prominent scholar-chemist, a spokesman for the brilliant galaxy of Russian chemists of the 1860–1880’s who enriched world science by discoveries of paramount significance. He was at the same time one of the most lucid and popular spokesmen of the “Mighty Little Group,”1 who, after the genius Mikhail Ivanovich Glinka,2 laid the true foundation of Russian musical culture.
