outcropping roof, during the Soviet Union it was the

Former
Richelieu institute
Deribasovskaya 16 (Дерибасовская)
Is a two
story building, formerly the Richelieu institute,
founded in 1817. Pushkin

and passed from student to student of the institute.
Today it is several nondescript stores. (The
institue was named after Odessa's first mayor, Duke
Armand Emmanual Richelieu)

On
the building is a memorial plaque:
Dmitry
Ivanovich Mendeleev taught here,
in Odessa Richelieu Liceum, in 1855-1856.
|
| In
Odessa Mendeleev
worked on the relationships between the crystal forms
and the chemical composition of substances. Later he
worked at the University of Saint Petersburg (1867-90)
as a chemistry professor, a post that he resigned from
in protest against the administration's treatment of
student petitions for reform. Mendeleev
greatest contribution to chemistry was that he arranged
the chemical elements on the periodical table of elements,
based on their atomic weights. He also predicted the
existence of three elements before scientists discovered
them. |

The second
memorial plaque states:
In
this building great Polish poet
Adam Mitskevich lived in 1825
|
 |
| Mitskevich
was exiled from Poland for his participation in revolutionary
activities. He was originally supposed to teach in the
institute, but at first there was no teaching vacancy,
and then the czarist authorities decided he should not
remain in the south. |
