History of Life
Alexander A. Maximow was born and raised in St. Petersburg in an old merchant family that provided him an excellent education. He had a lifelong strong relationship with his older sister Claudie, who initially took care of him and later worked with him. He attended the Karl Ivanovich May School, a German Gymnasium in St. Petersburg, where he graduated in 1891, receiving a top award for his academic excellence. In the same year, he entered the Imperial Military Medical Academy, where he continued his brilliant performance, showing interest both in morphological topics and in experimental medicine. He graduated from the academy in 1896 as “primus omnium” (the first of all), being the top student in his class and receiving another gold medal.
