Historians don't know the year of his birth. We know that he left his hometown of Tver on a commercial trip to India in 1466. Nikitin was soon attacked and robbed, but he continued his journey. He went to Baku, then to Persia and, finally, to India.
During his travel, Afanasy Nikitin studied the population of India, its social system and government, as well as its economy, religion, culture, and natural resources. On the return journey, Afanasy Nikitin died near Smolensk in 1475. Now there are monuments to Afanasy Nikitin both in Russia and India.
He was born in 1778. His parents were Baltic Germans, so his real name was Fabian Gottlieb Thaddeus von Bellingshausen. He served in the Imperial Russian Navy, was a cartographer and also an explorer.
He died in 1852 (at the age of 73).
Now his name can be seen on the maps of both our planet and the moon.
