Biography
Nikolai Ivanovich was born on April 9, 1882 in St. Petersburg, in a peasant family, graduated from a commercial school in 1900, then entered the Faculty of History and Philology of St. Petersburg University [1] . During his studies, from 1902, he collaborated with the Archaeological Commission and the Russian Archaeological Society [2] . In 1903, he conducted the first research in Staraya Ladoga ; in 1907, he was the first to describe the Skelsk menhirs [3] . After graduating from the university in 1909, in 1910 he entered the service of the Ethnographic Department of the Russian Museum , where he worked as a curator of the museum’s archaeological collection with the rank of college registrar .
Until 1913, every season, Repnikov carried out expeditions to the Novgorod region - he conducted excavations on the Zemlyanoye ancient settlement of Staraya Ladoga - one of the first experiments on the systematic excavation of an ancient Russian city of large area. In addition, he mapped wooden crosses on the outskirts of Staraya Ladoga, copied the frescoes of the Gostinopolsky church of the 15th century, and collected unique photographs dedicated to the parish churches and chapels of Novoladozhsky and Lodeinopolsky districts [1] .
After the start of World War I, the field work was stopped, and in 1914 Repnikov left the Russian Museum.
After the revolution, the scientist worked at the GAIMK , and in the late 1920s began research on the southwestern Crimea. In 1928, he made the first archaeological site of Eski-Kermen [4] , devoting the study of the cave city to the 1930s. Not locking on Eski-Kermen, he studied other monuments of the region. In fact, Repnikov laid the foundation for the future archeology of southwestern Crimea. As a “field worker” researcher, Repnikov did not write and did not publish a single scientific work, his legacy is archaeological excavation reports published in specialized collections. Nikolai Ivanovich Repnikov died in 1940.
