Sergei Sergeievich Salazkin (1862–1932) was a biochemist and academic; in 1917 he served in the Russian Provisional Government.
S.S. Salazkin was born on February 26 (March 10), 1862, in Doschatoe in the Russian Empire.
Nevertheless, in 1917, he was briefly catapulted into the political arena, serving as non-party Minister of Education in the Russian Provisional Government during the third coalition.
After this government was overthrown in the October Revolution, Salazkin withdrew from politics and resumed his academic career.
He studied the formation of urea and uric acid and the role of the liver in this process.
