Andrei Petrovich Dulzon – One of the Founders of the Siberian School of Turkology
DOI: 10.23951/2307-6119-2025-3-148-156
The article deals with the work of A. Dulzon (also known as Andreas Dulson), the founder of the Tomsk School of Turkology and one of the pioneers in the study of the Chulym Turkic language and the dialects of the Tomsk Tatars. Thanks to the work of A. Dulzon, the Chulym-Turkic language, received its first systematic scientific description, becoming the standard for subsequent generations of researchers. Professor Dulzon’s research laid the foundation for the development of many areas of modern Siberian Turkology, including toponymy, dialectology, and the interaction of different ethnic groups in the region. Under the direct supervision of A. Dulzon, six dissertations on Turkic languages and toponymy were defended. Through his efforts, regional scientific schools were founded, including the Novokuznetsk School of Turkology, where more than 20 doctoral students were trained in Shor and other Turkic languages. Today, the traditions of studying Siberian Turkic languages established by Andrei Dulzon continue and are developed at Tomsk State Pedagogical University (TSPU). Thus, the work of A. Dulzon is still relevant and in demand, confirming his scientific legacy’s importance for the modern generation of Turkologists.
