Dmitry Sergeyevich Likhachev has been called “a guardian of national culture” and “Russia’s conscience”. He was an outstanding Russian scientist who was considered the world’s foremost expert in Old Russian language and literature.

In 1953, Likhachev was admitted into the Soviet Academy of Sciences. He defended Andrei Sakharov, Alexander Solzhenitsyn and others during their hard years. In 1986, he was elected the first President of the Russian Cultural Fund. In his 80s and 90s, he became more of a public figure. In 1993, he became the first person to be named an Honorary Citizen of Saint Petersburg. He also presided over the commission set up to prepare for Alexander Pushkin’s tercentenary. Not long before his death, Likhachev was the first person who received the reinstated Order of St Andrew. The Likhachev Philanthropic Fund was set up in 2001.

Likhachev graduated from the Leningrad University in 1928, and the same year he was arrested for his speech criticising the Bolshevik reform of Russian orthography. Deported to the Solovki Special Purpose Camp, he spent 5 years there. Likhachev returned to Leningrad unbroken and started his spectacular scholarly career in the Pushkin House, as the Russian Literature Institute is known, which lasted for more than 60 years and saw the publication of more than 500 scholarly works. Likhachev didn’t stop his work even during the Siege of Leningrad.
