About Kapiton Ushkov
Lived 1813 – 1868 (aged 54–55). Kapiton Ushkov was a chemist.
Kapiton Yakovlevich Ushkov (; 1813–1868) was a Russian serf who became a major chemical industrialist in Tatarstan.
He was born in Bonduga, a village near Yelabuga, in Tatarstan. Bonduga was subsequently renamed Mendeleyevsk. Ushkov discovered that the raw materials for potassium bichromate, a chemical used in the dying process was to be found locally, and so he established a plant for its production in the village of Kokshan.
