Vladimir Bogoraz was born in the city of Ovruch in the family of a Jewish school teacher. After finishing Chekhov Gymnasium in 1882, he enrolled in Saint Petersburg University, Legal Dept., but was dismissed for revolutionary activity with Narodnaya Volya and exiled to his parents' home in Taganrog.
