    How many up to him{it} all variety of elements which have  created  the 
surprising world around of the person and which make his{its}  most  essence 
tried to result chemists in system... 
    How many people  have  staked  for  the  sake  of  it  the  life.  Many 
understood, felt, that there should be such system - the law of the  nature, 
aspired to open it{him} is and it is vain. It{he} has  constructed  its{her} 
one - periodic system of elements. System of elements of D.I.Mendeleyev. 
    It was the mighty person, because made him{it} under force only to  the 
giant. How it  was  possible  to  it{him}?  Due  to  what?  Due  to  the  of 
improbable force to talent, due to a fortress of spirit, due  to  confidence 
that business of it{him} is necessary. 
    It{He} has appeared in Petersburg silently  and  imperceptibly,  having 
overcome on horses a long way from sleepy Tobolsk where it{he} was born,  up 
to noisy, talkative Moscow  and   magnificent  city  on  Neva.  And  how  in 
unfamiliar big city this blue-eyed young  man  who  is  not  having  neither 
notable relationship, nor rich parents differently could appear?  Father  of 
it{him} was director of the Tobolsk grammar school - a post not  the  god  a 
message what profitable, and small glass which basically and began  to  feed 
family after father, go blind, has been compelled  to  leave  teaching,  too 
did not bring the big income. And nevertheless, when it{he}  ,  it  was  the 
big impact for Mendeleev. After all fourteen souls of one children... 
    Mitia was younger and, similar, the most favourite.  In  the  childhood 
it{he} possessed not too a sound health, and in damp Petersburg air  and  at 
all to feel began  itself  unimportantly.  Sometimes  he{it}  a  throat  had 
blood, and doctors believed, that at him{it} last degree  of  a  consumption 
began. It{he} laid in clinic of pedagogical institute where it{he}  studied, 
when once during detour the  main  doctor,  thinking,  that  Mendeleyev  has 
fallen asleep, has told to director:  
And , having heard the verdict, sat on  beds,  has  got  writing-books 
and has there and then plunged into records with lectures. 
    Institute friends have managed to arrange for Mendeleyev an audience at 
court physician Zdekauera, and that, having heard  it{him},  has  delicately 
advised to go on the south. To tell the truth, Zdecauer    has  given  still 
advice - seem simply so, just in case Piragavim. 
    And in Crimea at this time there was a war, and Pies, having rolled  up 
sleeves, operated since early morning and till the late evening. For days  - 
tens amputations. Mendeleyev many times saw it{him} from apart, but all  did 
not dare to approach to it{him}. Pies was more necessary. 
    Mendeleyev also could not think, that a kind of  Simferopol,  city,  in 
general, enough removed from a front line, can make on  him{it}  such  heavy 
impression. Restaurants worked, no, hospitals was a little,  and  around  of 
city tents with a red cross have crowded. And everywhere ... 
    Mendeleyev here knew nobody. Pies seem inaccessible. And  the  graduate 
of the capital institute who has arrived on consultation to find  to  itself 
put here, certainly, could not. And it{he} writes  to  the  brother  in  the 
letter:  
    But  at  last  Mendeleyev  before  Проговым.  The  great  doctor   with 
unexpected attentiveness examines so strange here the patient and...  Grants 
to it{him} a life! Mendeleyev has for  ever  remembered  that  has  told  to 
it{him} of Pies: . 
    The inspired Mendeleyev is born{carried}  to Odessa. With it{him}  only 
that on it{him}, yes is a little money, but all so is good, ahead has put  - 
tempting and interesting so much, now it is  necessary  to  hasten,  because 
time lost in burdensome expectation, to not return any more. 
    To Odessa at Mendeleyev a direction. It{he} has received there a  place 
of  the  teacher  of  natural  sciences,  from  him{it}  there   the   small 
laboratory, the first laboratory,  and  there  and  then,  near  at  hand  - 
excellent library. 
    Here, in southern seaside city, it{he} starts to search  - of what thought already for a long time and to  that 
it{he} will devote all life. 
    Half-year in Odessa, and Mendeleyev again  in  Petersburg.  It{he}  has 
arrived not with empty hands: work which it{he} has brought - the most  thin 
and most laborious  research  on  specific  volumes.  It  actually  his{its} 
dissertation. She{it} gives it{him}  the  first  scientific  degree  of  the 
master. The master of physics and chemistry. To Mendeleyev it  was  executed 
then only twenty two years. 
    It was his{its} first big victory. But a victory,  which  pleasure  has 
saddened to  mountain:  favourite  sister  who  has  arrived  together  with 
it{him} from Tobolsk has died. And now it{he}  has  remained  in  Petersburg 
one. Sometimes  it{him}  pulls  home  -  look  on  native  places,  to  meet 
relatives, but this dream even long decades will be dream.  And  only  on  a 
slope  of  years,  already  world  famous  scientist,   coming   back   from 
expedition{dispatch}, it{he} will make a hook to see  Tobolsk.  It  will  be 
short returning, but full of disappointments. 
    And in October  of  the  same  year  when  it{he}  became  the  master. 
Mendeleyev  has  struck  all  friends:  it{he}  has  protected  the   second 
dissertation. Of course - a case ! Scientists have  not  without  hesitation 
accepted  Mendeleyev's  second  work  though  it   and   was   the   serious 
contribution to chemistry . But too all this was unusual... 
    And then young Mendeleyev on the post carriage which was rolled quickly 
with the four of horses, goes in the first business trip - through Warsaw  - 
further, to the well-known Heidelberg, in laboratory of the patriarch  . 
    Mendeleyev trusted, that the days which have been lead{which have  been 
carried out} to laboratories of  the  Heidelberg  university,  near  to  the 
glorified chemist, to it{him} will  be  useful,  but  it{he}  was  mistaken. 
Bunzer, borrowed{occupied} with the experiences, has met the  young  Russian 
colleague politely, but it  is  constrained.  And  in  laboratory  where  to 
Mendeleyev have allocated a place, there was all as it  is  impossible  more 
inconsistently: in narrowness  students  crowded,  there  was  no  utensils, 
reactants. Mendeleyev has immediately  understood,  that  here  it{he}  only 
will waste time. With a kind of the deepest regret has  told  Bunzeru,  that 
it{he} is unhealthy, has thanked  for  so  hospitable  hospitality  and  has 
there and then moved down from a university apartment. And soon again  in  a 
way. This time - to Paris, to  Celerony - to  that  Caleroni,  better  which 
nobody could do{make} chemical devices and tools. Most exact  of  all  exact 
weights because others  did  not  suit  his{its}  work  were  necessary  for 
Mendeleyev. 
    It{He} has returned to Heidelberg where has removed{has taken off} tiny 
 under laboratory and where it{he} was waited  already  with  the  concerned 
letter of the trustee  of  the  Petersburg  educational  district  -  it  is 
visible, messages on trick with  have reached. 
    Mendeleyev has answered: . 
    It did not hasten home - and not because did not wish to see the  city, 
already for a long time becoming to it{him} native. It{he}  did  not  hasten 
because in Heidelberg to it{him} was well worked,  it{he}  felt  like  free, 
independent.  And  consequently  still,  that  here  it{he}  has  found  new 
friends. 
    Ivan Setchenov, Alexander Borodin, Dmitry Mendeleyev - they  were  then 
are young, their names did not sound yet so loudly, but  each  of  them  was 
already known for the works. All three excitedly were engaged in  chemistry. 
Mendeleyev tried to comprehend essence of the phenomena occuring at a  level 
considerably more thin, rather than molecular, and  has  opened  temperature 
of  absolute  boiling.  Setchenov  has  penetrated  into  chemistry  of  gas 
exchange in living tissues, and the author of    with  ecstasy 
pottered with test tubes and flasks and by then was the  author  of  several 
large printed works in chemistry. 
    To Troy great Russian. Small . They worked not  hands, and  in 
the  evenings  converged  for  is  expected,  shared  everything,  that  has 
collected for a day. Hardly later, when to them has joined  Methnicov,  they 
swore, that if from them in a  life  it  will  be  difficult  for  somebody, 
everyone will gather to come to the aid. They have constrained this oath. 
    ... And in Heidelberg they had happy time. In work all was got on - and 
consequently the mood  was  fine,  and  they  had  a  rest  too  selflessly. 
frequently sat down a grand piano, and that all time went in the next  small 
town to listen to the well-known body. 
    Together with Borodinym Mendeleyev quite often went to mountains.  That 
them attracted... Unless it is possible to tell about it? They liked  to  go 
upwards on difficult road, clinging for stones,  sometimes in  a  dirty  and 
in a snow. And without it  in  a  life  something  lacked.  As  well  Dmitry 
Ivanovich itself has written about it   - to the girlfriend of sister  Olga, 
the future wife. As it{him} pulled then to  and as much  later  it{he}  will 
be ready to give everything, everything if only to leave  it{her}.  As  well 
it{he} has written to it{her}:  
    Friends united not only predilection for chemistry - they were in  many 
respects  similar  -  with  identical  passion  were  given  work,  and   by 
something, with a head were immersed in new business. It  was  to  tell  the 
truth, shown at them differently. Mendeleyev all was given passion  and  did 
not cool down, while in it{him} the  spark  decayed  even.  It{he}  did  not 
undertake something another, was not convinced  yet  that  here  it{he}  has 
learned{has found out} and has taken all. It{he} was sincerely  pleased  the 
affinity with  as counted his{its} unusually  talented  person  and  thanked 
destiny that she{it} has reduced them. 
    And  was similar to noisy, sparkling fireworks which it{he} is  skilful 
to prepare and prepared always , with  love.  It{he}  perfectly  painted  in 
oils and drew, is skilful to mould and engrave - not  speaking  that  it{he} 
played on many tools, - was the chemist and the composer. And how  to  know, 
whether from this friendship with  went then  hobby for art.  Probably,  all 
the same many-sided nature  -  it  really  inevitable  display  of  the  big 
talent. The person, great really, probably, cannot  enclose  all  force  and 
all talent in one channel. A life, as if being  afraid  to  lose  invaluable 
particles of human talent, does not allow it{him} to make it. 
    And  in  Petersburg  Mendeleyev  suddenly  feels  sharp   pleasure   of 
returning. It{he} has understood, that  all  years  missed  this  city.  Now 
it{he} not one here: sister Olga has returned.  Together  with  the  husband 
decembrist Basarginym she{it} was in the long Siberian reference.  Here,  in 
its{her} house, Mendeleyev  even  more  often  meets  with    -  she{it}  is 
pleasant to it{him}, but it{he} badly knows women and is not confident  that 
is necessary to follow advice{council} of the sister and  to  marry.  It{he} 
wants to find out - whether they can with  understand each other, but  every 
time perplexed stops: no, it is visible, has  not  stuck  to  hasten,  hurry 
destiny. Let all develops how is, without any efforts. 
    It{He} trusts, that so it will  be  better.  Then  suddenly  inflow  of 
despair - it{he} doubts of itself, in the  and writes the  letter.  No,  not 
the letter, and cry from the heart is born{carried} to the sister to  Moscow 
(her{it} have carried away for the period of an affair). And  that  answers: 
 And it{he} concedes. 
    And in fact  that  is  strange:  it{he}  was  the  person  with  strong 
character, is skilful to stand for itself and God forbid to someone  it{him} 
to offend, and here suddenly it{he} has conceded. From  what?  It{he}  knew, 
that has been in love only, instead of liked. And  married.  To  it{him}  it 
was not indifferent? Probably, no. But it{he} trusted, that if  has  left  , 
for it{her} it would become valid impact. And it{he} could not reconcile  to 
it. It{he} is not skilful to hurt anothers. 
    In three years at  the son was born. Dmitry Ivanovich together with the 
friend the professor Iljinym buys from the ruined prince small  , nearby  to 
Klin, moves there and with  starts to be engaged in an agriculture. 
    However, the hobby it was not casual: Mendeleyev for a long time missed 
the nature. 
    In  it is good it{him}. It{he} walked much, exploited,  strove  on  the 
skilled field, and in the  evenings  quite  often  met  herd  going  from  a 
pasture. It{he} very much loved all this.  But  business  not  only  in  it. 
Experiences which it{he} puts, serve one purpose.  His{its}  science  should 
to people concrete advantage{benefit}.  Here,  in  ,  it{he}  brings  up  in 
itself(himself) other attitude{relation} to business: work of the  scientist 
should not be outside of communication{connection} with practice. And  right 
at the end of the life it{he} will recollect  these   days  and  will  write 
about experiences: .,  it  appears,  when  it{he} 
started to think of the future. 
    For now still it{he} walked with the son on glades, with boyish passion 
played on a lawn in a croquet, pottered on a  current,  collected  just  the 
bought thresher. Also it was visible, that here,  in  ,  it{he}  feels  like 
itself(himself), freely and happily. 
    So thought, looking at him{it}, his{its} wife. She{it} thought, that so 
will be always, that Dmitry Ivanovich has understood, at last, where and  in 
what his{its} happiness. From one  only  these  ideas  the  wave  of  silent 
pleasure overflew her{it}. 
    But she{it} was mistaken. In its{her} husband the great scientist at 
that time ripened. It{he} did not think of it. She{it} simply did not 
understand it. 
    And again Petersburg. The idea on chemical affinity of  elements  which 
has come within students, again excited it{him}. It{he} has been  absolutely 
firmly convinced, that by all means should exist  certain  law  -  imperous, 
relentless which defines{determines} this affinity  or  distinction  of  the 
elements occupying the world. 
    How many up to him{it} was attempt - naive,  far-fetched  -  find  this 
law, obeying it{him} to place all elements on harmonous  system...  At  that 
time chemists have opened  and    64  elements,  knew  their 
nuclear weights so the material for work already was. There was  no  only  a 
person who would manage to penetrate into this secret laying as  it  seemed, 
somewhere nearby and nevertheless inaccessible.
