On the line of his mother came from an old noble family, in the family of his father (the surname Kuhn - German) there were German and Anglo -Shottland roots. Nikolai Albertovich is a brilliant graduate of the historical and philological faculty of Moscow University, where, among other things, Greek and Roman literature and antiquity were studied, which forever became the center of its interests. And although Kun wrote many books, including the "Tales of African Peoples", "Fairy Tale of the Easy of the Great Ocean", the translation of "letters of dark people" (German satire for scholasticism), he is most known as the author of the book “Legends and Legends and Legends and Myths of Ancient Greece ".
Nikolai Albertovich taught a lot: he conducted classes on the history of culture and religion in the Tver, Nizhny Novgorod and Moscow educational institutions. He worked abroad: at the University of Berlin and in Rome, where in 1911-1912 he led excursions of Russian teachers and gave lectures as an expert on ancient art, in museums, forum and in the palatine (Roman hill, one of the most ancients of the eternal city).
At the age of 43, Kun became a professor of social sciences of Moscow State University, wrote articles for large and small Soviet encyclopedias.
Interest in antiquity inspired Kun to create a book that was still popular: it was first released in 1922 and has since been reprinted many times, translated into languages of the peoples of the USSR and the main European languages. It is interesting that initially it was called "What the ancient Greeks and the Romans told about their gods and heroes." Under the heading of the "Legends and Myths of Ancient Greece", the publication came out after the death of the author, changes were made to him
