Stepan Nechayev

Stepan Dmitriyevich Nechayev (Russian: Степа́н Дми́триевич Неча́ев; 18 July 1792[1]–5 September 1860[2]) was a Procurator of the Most Holy Synod and a senator.

He was the first historian, who carried out the location researches and tried to connect the description of the Battle of Kulikovo with the real landscape.

There are records about some other collections of the archeological findings from the Kulikovo Field, part of which was in his possession.
