After a long illness, L. Bogdanov died in Kabul, Afghanistan.
A remarkable linguist, he was frequently consulted by Persian, Afghan, and Indian scholars on questions relating to the Persian language and literature. He was a recognized authority on the Persian dialects of Afghanistan and India. He studied in St. Petersburg under the brilliant faculty gathered there at the beginning of our century. A lecturer in Persian before the first World War, at the time of the revolution he was in Enzeli, Iran, and a short time later consul at the Russian legation in Teheran. He went to India, and for several years was professor of Persian at Rabindranath Tagore’s University at Santiniketan, Bengal. He was one of the first Europeans to reside in Afghanistan after its entry into the family of nations. He was, an interpreter in the French Legation in Kabul 1923-7, after which time he returned to Tagore’s University. In 1932 he was naturalized as a French citizen, and changed his last name to Dugin.

Bogdanov is best known for his edition of the masterpiece of Persian Sufism, the Methnawi of Rumi, his edition of which, with its translation and annotation, will probably endure for many generations as his chief monument, and his various works on Afghanistan.

Barthold in his “Historico-Geographical Description of Iran” (in Russian), and in 1909 published a book on modern Iran (in Russian), St. Petersburg, 146 pp. Numerous translations from German and Russian Orientalia have appeared in the Journal of the K.
