Abstract:
Aristarkh Apollonovich Belopolsky (1854-1934) can truly be considered the father of Russian astrophysics. It was he who wrote the first Russian textbook on astrophysics. One of the first he began to widely apply photography and spectral analysis in astronomical research (Fig. 1). But here we will talk about those bold, pioneering works of Belopolsky, about which few people know, namely about his views on the nature of Cepheids and redshift.
