We all know about the amazing world of discoveries and 
discoverers. Some of them were invented by our compatriots, others 
were made by foreigners. But there are cases when foreign scientists 
patented  inventions that were earlier made  by our home scientists.

produced his " fluent stroller " which  moved without any outside 
force. Shamshurenkov got fifty rubles for this order. The subsequent 
fate of strollers is unknown for historians . 18 years  later , in 1769 , a
