In early March 1918, the Soviet government moved from Petrograd to Moscow ^[3] . Following the government, the Golubev family also moved to Moscow.

The place of work of the highest state authorities was the Moscow Kremlin . Leonid attended a school for children of the All-Russian Central Executive Committee employees, which was located in the Arsenal of the Moscow Kremlin , since his mother worked in the secretariat.

Career

He graduated from the Electrical and Traction Department of MPEI in 1936 .

In 1936, when the People’s Commissariat of the Defense Industry was divided, VGITIS was transferred to the NKSSP of the USSR , in which it was named "Research Institute No. 10" (NII-10, today the Altair Research Institute). The company was located in Moscow on the Central passage of 3 Dangauer town .

In 1938 he graduated from one-year courses in gun technicians.

In April 1941 he married, at the same time his eldest daughter was born. With the outbreak of war with Germany, he was transferred to the barracks position and continued to work in Moscow. In the fall of 1941, his father, Vasily Golubev , died. At the end of the year, the wife and child were sent to evacuate to Ufa .

During the war years

With the outbreak of war with Germany in the summer of 1941, the institute's plans were urgently revised. All work with a large development cycle was removed. Engineers A.P. Morozov, V.P. Solomentsev, L.V. Golubev, V.V. Romanov, and F.N. Chernykh are urgently completing the development of the vector-electric artillery anti-aircraft fire control device (VEPOZO), which began in 1939. . This device had great advantages over the then existing POISO device, since it provided all the necessary pre-arranged coordinates for aiming guns and was serviced by a smaller combat crew . The device was released in early 1942 and on October 16 installed on a four-gun battery near the railway bridge over the Oka River near Golutvin . It was managed by developers L.V. Golubev and V.A. Solomentsev. For two years, the battery successfully repelled Luftwaffe air raids and, thanks to exceptionally accurate shooting, enemy planes shot down and were not allowed into the bridge area.

By the end of 1943, the institute fully restored its activity, successfully fulfilling a large volume of government orders for the front. A group of engineers L.V. Golubev, V.A. Solomentsev, L.I. Koshelev, M.I. Zaitsev, A.P. Morozov and others urgently developed a new version of the vector-electric artillery anti-aircraft fire control device (VEPUAZO-2) , which was supposed to work in conjunction with the newly emerged ground - based radar stations "Pegmatite" . With the help of these devices, the first batch of which was released at the beginning of 1944 , anti-aircraft batteries successfully repelled Luftwaffe air raids.
