He was exiled to Transbaikalia for participating in the January Uprising of 1863.[4] A self-taught scientist, he eventually received three gold medals from the Russian Geographical Society, and his name was given to a settlement, two mountain ranges, several peaks and other sites. He authored the first map of Lake Baikal.[4]
