DEMIDOV

This article appears in Volume V07, Page 984 of the Encyclopedia Britannica.

Encyclopedia Britannica - Main :: DEM-DIO
DEMIDOV , the name of a famous
Russian
  family, founded by Nikita Demidov (b. c. 1665), who was originally a blacksmith serf. He made his fortune by his skill in the manufacture of weapons, and established an iron foundry for the government. Peter the
Great
 , with whom he was a favourite, ennobled him in 1720. His son, Akinfly Demidov (d. c. 1740), increased his inherited wealth by the discovery and working of gold, silver and copper mines. The latter's nephew, Paul Grigoryevich Demidov (1738-1821), was a
great
  traveller who was a benefactor of
Russian
  scientific education; he founded an annual prize for Russian literature, awarded by the
Academy
  of Sciences. Paul's nephew, Nikolay Nikitich Demidov (1774-1828), raised and commanded a
regiment
  to oppose
Napoleon
 's invasion, and carried on the
accumulation
  of the family wealth from
mining
 ; he contributed liberally to the erection of four bridges in St
Petersburg
 , and to the propagation of scientific culture in Moscow. Paul's son,
Anatoli
  Demidov (1812-187o), was a well-known traveller and
patron
  of art; he married Princess Mathilde; daughter of Jerome Bonaparte.
