I’d have thought the Russians would have used their own Cyrillic script back then, but I suppose German(?) was the lingua franca of science back then, hence the Latin script?
It is strange that he used the post-revolutionary letter “И” instead of “I”
Hmm….had a lot more elements that I would’ve thought
The periodic table is sheer genius on the level of Darwin or Einstein bur Mendeleev doesn’t seem to get the same recognition, at least here in UK.
