Abstract
An essay about a researcher who joined the revolutionary wave of research when he became the head of the scientific department of the Askania-Nova Reserve. Fortunatov’s main research focused on measures to restore the European bison population, in particular by the admixture of American bison blood, hybridising representatives of different groups of ungulates, and developing programmes for the ‘reconstruction of the fauna.’ The latter were developed by him in 1933–1935 and became state programmes that included measures for the introduction of alien species and wildlife breeding, in particular in nature reserves.
