Juli 2015, S. 288 (englisch): “All the evidence we have suggest that the Vernadskys likely belonged to the small group of ethnic Ukrainians who had dual "Russian – Ukrainian" identity. ... There is general consensus among scholars that from very early on Vladimir Vernadsky (who, although born in St. Petersburg, did live as a young boy with his parents in Kharkiv, Ukraine) was conscious of his Ukrainian origin. He maintained a keen interest in Ukrainian affairs after he moved to St. Petersburg and Moscow, and during the decade proceeding the Russian revolution participated in all of the important debates on the "Ukrainian question" in his dual capacity of prominent academic and influential politician.”
