Aleksei Evgen'evich Chichibabin (1871-1945), Russian and Soviet organic chemist. Studied at the University of Moscow from 1888 until 1892, and received his PhD from the University of Saint Petersburg. Became a professor at the Imperial College of Technology in Moscow in 1909, and remained there until 1929. After losing his daughter Natasha, a chemist, to an industrial oleum accident (explosion) that he deemed preventable, he moved to Paris where he remained despite threat of and eventual stripping of his Soviet citizenship and his position in the Academy of Sciences. In 1931 he began working at the Collège de France, remaining there until his death in 1945, but also serving over parts of the same period as the director of research at French dye and fine chemical manufacturer Établissement Kuhlmann, and as an advisor to the Schering and Roosevelt Co. of New York. Chichibabin died in 1945 and was buried at the Sainte-Geneviève-des-Bois.
