In Irkutsk ) was a Russian revolutionary, folklorist and Ethnographer . His main work consisted in the collection of Russian fairy tales and folk songs.

Life

Chudjakow was born as the son of the teacher Alexander Gavrilowitsch Chudjakow. He attended the Tobolsk grammar school and then studied history and philology in Kazan from 1858. In the following year he moved to Moscow University.

In 1860 he published the “Collection of Great Russian Folk History Songs” and, after his exmatriculation in 1861, in the years 1861–1862 his “Collection of Great Russian Fairy Tales”. He now moved to St. Petersburg , where he married Leonilla Alexandrovna Lebedewa. He wrote u. a. 1865 a reader for beginners and thus came into conflict with the tsarist censorship after his attempt to publish the magazine “ Märchenliche Welt” ( Russian: Сказочный мир ) in Russia had been banned. Popular science articles such as “Why thunder thunders” were the starting points for the censorship.

In the fall of 1865 Chudjakow traveled to Geneva , where he established contact with Alexander Ivanovich Herzen and Nikolai Platonowitsch Ogarjow . Chudjakow was a member of the Ishutin Society of the Social Revolutionary Nikolai Andreevich Ischutin and was arrested on April 7, 1866 in connection with the assassination attempt by Dmitri Karasokov and brought to justice. Chudjakow was exiled to Siberia and finally arrived on February 22, 1867 in his place of exile in Verkhoyansk . Until 1874 he studied the language, folklore and ethnography of the Yakuts in Verkhoyansk and wrote a Yakut-Russian dictionary.

Chudjakov became insane and on July 17, 1875 he was finally taken to the Irkutsk Psychiatric Hospital, where he died. He was buried in a poor grave in the Jerusalem cemetery in Irkutsk.
