Nikolai Alexandrovich Morozov

Nikolai Alexandrovich Morozov (Никола́й Алекса́ндрович Моро́зов; July 7, 1854, Borok – July 30, 1946) was a Russian revolutionary who spent about 25 years in prison before turning his attention to various fields of science.

The son of a landowner by a serf woman, Morozov was born in the village of Borok in the Yaroslavl Oblast of Russia.

In his declining years, Morozov established a laboratory in his native Borok, north of Uglich, to monitor and study "inland waters".

Pavlik Morozov

The most popular account of the story is as follows: born to poor peasants in Gerasimovka, a small village 350 kilometers north-east of Yekaterinburg (then known as Sverdlovsk), Morozov was a dedicated communist who led the Young Pioneers at his school, and a supporter of Stalin's collectivization of farms.

In 1932, at the age of 13, Morozov reported his father to the political police (GPU).

Morozov's story was the basis of Bezhin Meadow, an unreleased film from 1937 that was directed by Sergei Eisenstein.
