Biography
Beketov was of Russian ancestry; on his father's side he came from a Russian noble family with roots from the Penza Governorate. His mother Elena Beketova was born in St. Petersburg. Alexei Beketov was the son of Nikolay Beketov,[1] a noted Professor of chemistry at the Imperial University of Kharkov.
