He spread agricultural knowledge among the nobility and peasants, he held significant academic achievements in the fi eld of ethnography, botany, and mycology. He was the organizer and the fi rst president of the Central Agricultural Society, a member of the First Duma. His unexpected death at the age of forty-one was a great shock to everyone who knew him. Chełchowski’s funeral ceremonies lasted two days and had an exceptionally rich, patriotic setting. They were attended by representatives of all states, different regions of the country and many social and political organizations. They were also widely described in the press at that time.
