Filipp Diomidovich Nefyodov (Филипп Диомидович Нефёдов, 18 October 1838, Ivanovo, Vladimir Governorate, Russian Empire, - 25 March 1902, Vladimir Governorate, Russian Empire) was a Russian writer, journalist, editor (Remeslennaya Gazeta, 1875-1876; Russky Kurjer, 1879), ethnographer and archeologist who made hundreds of excavations in Povolzhye, Ural and West Siberia, studying ancient kurgans.[1]
Nefyodov have always sympathized with the Russian left radicalism; in March 1881, after the assassination of Tsar Alexander II, he was arrested and briefly incarcerated for having links with Sophia Perovskaya and Andrei Zhelyabov. He is credited with being the first in Russia to publish the story of Salawat Yulayev, a legendary Bashkir rebel, whose name up until then it had been considered risky to mention.
In 1872 came out critically acclaimed Na miru (На миру, Among People), Nefyodov's short story collection. The Works of Filipp Nefyodov in 4 volumes was published in 1894-1900.[1]
