Ivan Petrovich Pavlov [1849 – 1936]:
Ivan Petrovich Pavlov [1849 – 1936] was a famous Russian physiologist. He devoted his life to the study of physiology and sciences, making several remarkable discoveries and ideas that were passed on from generation to generation.
Inspired when the progressive ideas which D.l. Pisarev, the most eminent of the Russian literary critics of the 1860s and I. M. Sechenov, the father of Russian physiology, were spreading, Pavlov abandoned his religious career and decided to devote his life to science.
In 1870 he enrolled In the physics and mathematics faculty at the University of Saint Petersburg to take the course in natural science.
He won the Nobel Prize for Physiology or Medicine in 1904.
