Zusammenfassung:	Nikolai N. Anichkov (1885-1964) first demonstrated the role of cholesterol in the development of atherosclerosis. His classic experiments in 1913 paved the way to our current understanding of the role of cholesterol in cardiovascular disease.

Herein, we give a detailed historical account of Anichkov's work, his personality, his research team, and their pioneering effort.
