Biography
From the family of the teacher.
In 1914-1915 he was in German captivity as a civilian prisoner of war. Since 1916 - professor at the Moscow Higher Technical School in the department of steam turbines, since 1918 - member of the editorial board of the journal "Bulletin of Engineers".
In 1921, at the invitation of Gorky , he participated in the work of the All-Russian Committee for the Relief of the Starving . He was arrested on August 21, and two months later released on bail. In the conclusion of the Yasinsky case, it was written [1] :
Interviewing Mr. [Azhdanin] Yasinsky and looking at the material for his case led me to the following: prof. Yasinsky undoubtedly belongs to the number of citizens completely alien to the Soviet regime, to Soviet construction, who are not able to sympathize with such “neutralism” at least to a small degree and whose political apoliteness is most doubted. The investigation that I carried out does not, however, give any reason to believe involvement (or awareness of Mr. Yasinsky) in the backstage work of a group of Committee members in the K.-roar [olyutsionnoy], political field. And, since the general materials of the case and the investigation of the Committee as a whole do not give concrete evidence against prof. Yasinsky, considering his further detention in custody unreasonable and I believe c. Yasinsky released from prison. |
In August 1922 he was again arrested. On August 21, the GPU board decided to expel Yasinsky abroad . September 29 left Petrograd on the ship "Oberburgomaster Haken."
Settled in Germany. He became the first director of the Russian Scientific Institute in Berlin (February 1923 - November 1931), for ten years he was chairman of the Russian Academic Union in Berlin.
He died in 1933 in Berlin.
