Vladimir Viktorovich Shkatelov (1861, Saint Petersburg — 1940, Minsk) — A Russian and Soviet chemical technologist, Vladimir Viktorovich Shkatelov was the founder of forest chemistry in Belarus.[1], He held a Doctor of Chemical Sciences degree, was an Academician of the National Academy of Sciences of BSSR (NAS BSSR) (1929), and was honored as a Distinguished Scientist of BSSR (1938). Shkatelov authored over 60 scientific works on forest and agricultural technology [1]. He is known for his leadership in pioneering industrial experiments in tapping deciduous trees and directing research on wood hydrolysis. He was a key figure in establishing the tapping and rosin-turpentine industry in the USSR [2]. Among the first researchers to identify the superior quality of Russian turpentine [3]. Shkatelov also developed innovative methods for processing resin and analyzed the chemical composition of resins [2]
