In 1871 the family moved to Odessa where Wassily’s father became the manager of a tea merchandising company. That same year saw the parents divorce after which however; they remain on friendly terms. Despite Kandinsky’s love of art he elected to study law and economics , earning his diploma in 1893, followed by a doctorate. With the offer of a professorship at the University of Dorpat in 1896, an academic career beckoned, and in the same year he married his cousin Anja Tschimiakin.
