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.
