abstract

An essay about one of the patriarchs of Ukrainian applied zoology and forestry, an ecologist by vocation and a coleopterologist by specialisation. Early in his career, the researcher paid attention to the study of shrews as possible pests of forestry and consumers of various soil invertebrates, especially annelids and coleopteran larvae. His contributions to mammalogy that have survived to this day include a publication on mole diet and collection specimens of mole rats. It is assumed that significant collection series could have been kept in the zoological museum of the Kyiv Forestry Institute, whose collections were destroyed during the defence of Kyiv in 1941.
