Something wrong?About this person
His story remains popular in the Urals. It is claimed that Babinov secretly followed the Vogul hunters through the woods, marking the road with broken branches. As a reward for his discovery, Tsar Feodor I of Russia gave him a sizable tract of land and exempted him from payment of taxes.
