We survey briefly the life and work of P. L. Chebyshev and his ongoing influence. We discuss his contributions to probability, number theory, and mechanics; his pupils and mathematical descendants; and his role as the founding father of Russian mathematics in general and of the Russian school of probability in particular.
Keywords: distribution of prime numbers, Bienaymé–Chebyshev inequality, law of large numbers, central limit theorem, Chebyshev polynomials, the moment problem.
