abstract
  • His father was a Danish physician named Johan Christian Dahl, and his mother was of German and French descent (Huguenots). The future lexicographer was born in the town of Lugansky Zavod (now Luhansk, Ukraine). Dal served in the Russian Navy from 1814 to 1826, graduating from the St. Petersburg Naval Cadet School in 1819. In 1826, he began studying medicine at Dorpat University and took part as a military doctor in the Russo-Turkish War (1828–1829) and the campaign against Poland in 1831-1832. Following disagreement with his superiors, he resigned from the Military Hospital in St. Petersburg and took an administrative position with the Ministry of the Interior in Orenburg Governorate, serving in similar positions in St. Petersburg and Nizhny Novgorod before his retirement in 1859. Dal was interested in language and folklore from his early years. He started travelling by foot through the Russian countryside, collecting sayings and fairy tales of the Russian people. He published his first collection of fairy-tales in 1832. Some others, yet unpublished, were put in verse by his friend Alexander Pushkin, and have become some of the most familiar texts in the language. After Pushkin's fatal duel, Dal was summoned to his deathbed and looked after the great poet during the last hours of his life. In 1838, he was elected to the Russian Academy of Sciences.
