Our English refs checks out ([1]). But that needs a better name and likely an Template:Ill link to ru wiki. Btw, pl wiki article states that he donated to the University of Rostov (but which? Southern Federal University? Rostov State Medical University?). The Polish source for this is [2] "bogata kolekcja owadów (głównie Lepidoptera) – w zbiorach Uniw. w Rostowie n/Donem (ok. 40 000 ex)". PS. It is possible both sources are correct, maybe he donated it to the University, which in turn donated it or leased it to the municipal museum? --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 04:36, 9 October 2019 (UTC)[reply]
