Dmitry Mendeleev 2014 will be a year of 180th birth anniversary of Dmitry Mendeleev, the key figure of the world of science. Plenty of anecdotes and myths tied to his name—two greatest among them, sounding now like truth, are about the Mendeleev's dream of the periodic table and about his discovering of the formula of vodka. He was able to do everything, including suitcases making. He recognized by himself that his contribution to science was pretty miscellaneous. But the Nobel Prize has never become his. Mendeleev's behavior was sometimes strange, so there was no surprise that he looked not seriously on his contemporaries' view. Nobody paid attention to his periodic table during whole six years! But later they have begun to create its varieties and copies, and even proclaim that Mendeleev stole the system from an obscure scientist. Some sources wrongly mention that Mendeleev was born in Tobolsk, Serbia instead Tobolsk, Siberia.
