Calculus Re-Invented?

I recall reading that years after Newton and Leibniz, a school teacher
slogged from the steppes to the big city with his independent
invention of calculus. Apocryphal? Name, place, source? Yes, I know
about the discovery by Newton & invention by Leibniz, and Indian &
Japanese calculus. I think this re-inventor was Russian.
