Ognev (1886-1951) , one of Russia's most famous biologists, was both a theoretical scientist and a great field researcher. Ognev's "Fauna Mosquensis" (1913) is the most comprehensive study of the mammals of European Russia after Pallas. Throughout his life, Ognev's work involved two important components: biological observation in nature and study of geographical distribution. His combination of excellent knowledge of natural habitats and morphology created a unique insight. This effort resulted in seven volumes of "Mammals of Eastern Europe and Northern Asia" and "Mammals of the USSR and Adjacent Countries," published from 1928 to 1950." (from ResearchGate).
