Abstract
The paper is devoted to the biography of an émigré scientist, Efim Mikhailovich Tschepourkowsky. The main stages of his life are described: schooling at progymnasium in Kyiv and gymnasium in Novocherkassk, studies at the Imperial Kharkov University, study visits to the leading European centers for the studies of anthropology, teaching at Moscow University and Far East University, moving to Harbin and working at the Law Faculty, forced emigration to Lithuania and the USA. E.M. Tschepourkowsky’s works are analysed, in particular, his works on geographical variation of the cephalic index and eye/hair color among the Slavs. In his publications, he employed the geographical method to characterise the variation of morphological traits as well as the latest developments in genetics and biometry. Apart from the analysis of morphological features across the governorates, Tschepourkowsky made an interesting comparison of their characters. Naturally, he did not write about it in his scientific papers but described it in his memoirs.
