Nikolai Krasheninnikov (1878-1941) — Russian writer who wrote with love about Bashkiria and the Bashkir people. The novel "Amelya" tells about the fate of a Bashkir orphan girl brought up by a widowed childless professor in a Russian noble environment. However, Amelya is constantly thinking about the "call of the steppes", which becomes a kind of symbol of her homeland, a beacon reminiscent of her lost roots.
