vladimir atlasov

Vladimir Vassilievich Atlasov (according to some accounts - Otlasov) (Атласов (Отласов), Владимир Васильевич in Russian)(born between 1661 and 1664 - died in 1711), Russian explorer, Siberian Cossack. In 1697-1699 Atlasov, founder of the Anadyr settlement, led a group of 65 Cossacks and 60 Yukaghir natives to investigate the Kamchatka peninsula. As a result, he made the locals pay tribute to the Tsar and built two forts along the Kamchatka River which became trading posts for Russian fur trappers. In the beginning of 1701, Atlasov went to Moscow, where he was promoted to the rank of officer for Kamchatka's annexation. He was the first to present a versatile description of the region's nature and people, some information about the islands and lands near Kamchatka, Chukotsky Peninsula, and Japan. Vladimir Atlasov was killed during an uprising of the service class people in Kamchatka.
