Yerofey Pavlovich Khabarov Drobinin Vadim and Pershakov Nikolay
Yerofey Pavlovich Khabarov (1603 – after 1671) was a Russian entrepreneur and adventurer, best known for his exploring the Amur river region and his attempts to colonize the area for Russia.
A native of the Veliky Ustyug area in the northern European Russia, Khabarov was a manager for the Stroganovs at the saltworks in Solvychegodsk.
In 1625, Khabarov sailed from Tobolsk to Mangazeya. Three years later, he left the town with his expedition and reached the Kheta river (eastern part of Taimyr). In 1630, Khabarov took part in a voyage from Mangazeya to Tobolsk. In 1632— 1641, he reached the Lena River and founded a farming settlement with saltworks along the Lena at the mouths of the Kuta and Kirenga Rivers.
In 1649 he became the second Russian to explore the Amur after Vassili Poyarkov (1643– 1646). Poyarkov's route up the Aldan River was too difficult to be practical. At some point Khabarov attempted to reach the Amur via the Vitim River.
The major Russian city of Khabarovsk, as well as the small town and railway station Yerofey Pavlovich (located on the Trans-Siberian railroad in Amur Oblast) bear his name. Also, a lot of cities of Russia and the former Soviet Union have streets named after him: Habarovsk, Yakutsk, Kharkov, Bratsk, Ust. Kut, Orenburge and others.
