More than hydrazones : In 1901, Kizhner became the inaugural Professor of Organic Chemistry at the newly founded Imperial Tomsk Technological Institute in Siberia. In the first decade of his career, Kizhner had built a laboratory; contracted gangrene of the extremities that ultimately led to the amputation of both legs below the knee; fomented revolt and organized student strikes; been dismissed and exiled from Tomsk, then reinstated; and had discovered the reactions that bear his name.
