Dmitry Ilovaysky

Ilovaysky graduated from the Moscow University in 1854[3] and first attracted critical attention with his thesis on the Principality of Ryazan in 1858.

In the 1870s, Ilovaysky started publishing his extensive overview of Russian history.

In his later writings, he expounded a controversial hypothesis of Azov Rus, which was alleged to have been centered on Sarkel and Tmutarakan.

Ilovaysky was the father-in-law of Ivan Tsvetaev, who founded the Pushkin Museum of Fine Arts.
