Abstract
L[ev] Ia. Shternberg was a many-sided figure. In his youth, he was a revolutionary, a political fighter, while in his mature years he became a leading Russian ethnographer, a scholarly theoretician, and a practical fieldworker. In both areas he was a pioneer, a blazer of new trails. He was one of the organizers of the Museum of Anthropology and Ethnography of the Academy of Sciences. He was likewise a pedagogue, the founder of a new ethnographic school in Russia and in the USSR. He was an ardent defender of the numerically small peoples of the north and the northeast, among whom he spent the best years of his life. As a founder of the Committee of the North, he helped introduce them to the new culture.
