H
love truth in everything.
In 1868 after graduating from the Petersburg University he made a report on his experiments in the field of plant nutrion from the air at the first Congress of Naturalists in Petersburg. The same year he went abroad and worked in the laboratories of famous scientists till 1870 when he returned to Russia and became the head at the Chair of Botany at the Petrovskaya Academy.
As a scientist Timiryazev was the researcher who devoted his life to solving one and the same problem – the problem of photosynthesis. The problem is very important because it is connected with the existence of life on the Earth. His brilliant lecture on the cosmic part of plants read by him at the Royal Society of London was the result of his 35 years of research.
His books «The Life of Plants», «Charles Darwin and his Teaching», «The Historical Method in Biology» and many others have been published and republished in many countries.
Timiryazev was a great patriot of his Motherland. He wrote: «Science based on democracy and the democracy stregthened by science will bring peace to peoples». He died on the 28th of April, 1920. A monument to the great scientist and citizen was put up in Moscow. Many educational establishments bear the name of Timiryazev, among them the oldest Agricultural Academy of Russia.
