Dmitry Machinsky
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Dmitry Alekseyevich Machinsky (born in 1937) is a leading Russian archaeologist. He lives in Saint Petersburg and works in the Hermitage Museum. Machinsky is particularly well known for having excavated Lyubsha and other Viking settlements along the Volkhov River. Machinsky attributes these settlements to the Rus' Khaganate, whose capital — as he believes — was Ladoga.
