Alexander Konstantinovich Abramov (Russian: Алекса́ндр Константи́нович Абра́мов) (1836–1886) was a Russian major general. Serving under general Mikhail Chernyayev during the time of Russia's conquest of Central Asia, Abramov is perhaps best known for taking part in the 1865 Siege of Tashkent and the 1868 Siege of Samarkand. He led a joint military and scientific expedition to explore the upper reaches of the Zarafshon river in 1870.[1]
