Victor Pisarzhevsky — the forgotten name of the Russian lichenology and his list of lichens of Russia

The article is dedicated to Victor Dmitrievich Pisarzhevsky, the author of the first published list of lichens of Russia, compiled by him based on publications issued before 1897. The article acquaints a reader with this little-known work, which nevertheless played a certain role in the development of lichenology in our country at its initial stage. The fate of its author— undoubtedly a gifted researcher, was nevertheless sad.
