Siberian Branch (CB)

The youngest branch comes from Yaroslavl. It has now become clear that the third branch does not exist. The son of Rafail Alexandrovich led a nomadic lifestyle. His children integrated into the Yaroslavl branch.

The founder was Rafail Chernosvitov (1810 ^[7] –1868 ^[8] ), inventor and gold miner ^{[9] [10]} . He was exiled to the Kexholm fortress in the case of Petrashevtsev , released in December 1854. In 1857-58 He moved to live in Siberia, where before that he spent almost half his life.

Rafail Alexandrovich is mentioned by Dostoevsky ^[11] as a one-legged merchant from Siberia, because they were closely acquainted and, subsequently, went through the Petrashevsky case together.

Invented a controlled balloon (airship), prosthetic leg ^[12] , personally tested in practice (he was one-legged after being wounded in a war with the Poles) and mentioned even in the traumatology textbook of the late twentieth century ^[13] , a unique steam engine and much more. In 1857, he published an article “On Air Locomotives” in the Marine Collection ^[14] . His works were used by Alexander Fedorovich Mozhaysky :

“Here is another example of the action of an aircraft heavier than air,” Mozhaisky thought, and setting aside the description of the devices of various balloons, he delved into the little-known studies of engineer Chernosvitov. This man, who dreamed of finding one missing expedition with the help of balloons, made many serious experiments. With the greatest interest, Mozhaisky studied just the results of those studies that Chernosvitov conducted with wings and sails, forcing "squares" of one hundred or more square feet to run through space at a speed of fifty or more feet per second. The engineer Chernosvitov, who began his work back in 1850, reported that these "areas" were set in motion by means of rotating propellers. Moving rapidly at an angle to the horizon, the "squares" sought to rise up. It was also interesting that the propeller blades had a sectional view of an inclined plane. ^[15]
