The name Nobel is often associated with Alfred – but behind the prize lies an entire family of inventors and industrialists with strong ties to Tsarist Russia.
Welcome to a lecture with author and Russia expert Bengt Jangfeldt, who will present the broader story of the family and show how archives open up new perspectives, based on his biography Immanuel Nobel & Sons – Swedish Geniuses in Tsarist Russia.
Read more about the lecture at the Stockholm City Archives.
This lecture replaces the previously announced talk about the Nobel explosion.
