Abstract
The present paper commemorates the 250th anniversary of G. Fischer von Waldheim, a German naturalist who was invited in 1803 to the Moscow University and contributed greatly to the progress of natural history education and research in Russia. The paper deals in brief with his life and works before his move to Moscow and primarily focuses on his activity in Russia as a professor of the Moscow University and Moscow Medical and Surgical Academy and the author of the first Russian textbooks in zoology and mineralogy; as a naturalist who above all was one of the founders of paleontological research in the country and the author of one of the first Russian entomofaunas; and as a scientific manager who founded the Moscow Society of Naturalists and for more than forty years defined its scientific policy.
