Jean-Marie Chopin (Russian: Иван Шопен; born in 1796 in Saint Petersburg; died 15 February 1871 in Paris) was a French-Russian explorer of the Caucasus.[citation needed] Son of a French sculptor and employed by Catherine II of Russia, Chopin began his career as secretary and librarian to Prince Alexander Kurakin, Russian ambassador to France for 12 years.[1] In 1812 Chopin and Kourakin returned to Russia; after the death of his patron in 1818 Chopin settled in Paris.[citation needed]
Chopin wrote "l'Histoire de Russie", "des Révolutions des Peuples du Nord", "Histoire des Provinces Danubiennes","Histoire du Dannemark", "Histoire du Roi de Rome".[citation needed] Chopin is known for his 1826 translation of The Fountain of Bakhchisaray by Alexander Pushkin (La Fontaine des Pleurs in French).[2] The book was illustrated by his brother; the music for "Tartar sing" by the translator's wife was printed on the supplementary sheet.[citation needed] In Russia, this is the rarest publication of the Poushkine's work published when he was alive.[citation needed]
