Michał Jankowski
Michał Jankowski or
Mikhail Ivanovich Yankovsky (September 24, 1842 – October 10, 1912) was a Polish
szlachta nobleman who settled in the Russian Far East after serving a sentence in Siberia for participating in the
January Uprising of 1863. After being released in 1868 he settled in the Russian Far-East in Sidemi,
Primorsky Krai, in a region now known as the Yankovsky Peninsula where he established a horse-breeding farm, reared deer for their antlers, established ginseng plantations, and became a well-known hunter and naturalist. He collected specimens of fauna and flora for museums and collectors and many species were named after him including
Jankowski's bunting.
