Abstract

This is a Russian translation of an article written by an Austrian scientist and journalist Igor Eberhard about a talented explorer of the Russian Far East, Fyodor Albertovich Derbek – about his life and scientific contribution. Factual and reliable information concerning the explorer exists in German, including Derbek’s monograph "The Udehe Forest People. Expeditions to the Amur Region and the Ussuri Region" published in 1956 under a pseudonym Friedrich Albert in Germany. This Eberhard’s article will fill the knowledge about the amazing person with a difficult fate and help eliminate a number of historical inaccuracies occurring in Russia-published articles about Fyodor A. Derbek.
