Nikolay Nikolaevich Karazin

Nikolay Nikolaevich Karazin (Russian: Николай Николаевич Каразин) was a Russian military officer, painter, and writer, known for his depictions of wars and exotic places. Born in 1842 in Kharkov (now Ukraine), Karazin came from a family of prominent intellectuals, including his grandfather Vasily Karazin, who founded Kharkiv University.

Karazin's career began in the military, where he participated in campaigns against the January Uprising in Poland and in Central Asia. His firsthand experiences in battles, such as the 1868 Bukhara campaign and the 1873 Khiva campaign, greatly influenced his later work as a painter and writer. After retiring from the military, he focused on creating large canvases depicting military actions in Turkestan, as well as writing numerous adventure and ethnographic stories and novels​​.

Karazin's works, which include "In the Distant Confines" (1875) and "From Orenburg to Tashkent" (1886), reflect his deep engagement with the landscapes and cultures of Central Asia. His children's book "Cranes Flying South" remains popular for its vivid storytelling and illustrations. Karazin also contributed significantly to the visual arts, participating in early designs for the Moscow Metro and becoming an academician of the Imperial Academy of Arts in 1904​.
