Biography
Born in a family of poor peasants, was the twelfth child, with a strong margin in age from previous children.
Primary education received in a rural school, secondary education - in the "district center" of the city of Alexandria , in the pedagogical school ("teacher's seminary").
According to an extraordinary recruitment, I entered the Dnepropetrovsk University (at that time, the Ekaterinoslav Institute of Public Education), the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics, without completing secondary education.
He graduated from the Physics and Mathematics Faculty of the Dnepropetrovsk University (1929?), Studied together and was friends with the famous mathematician Sergey Mikhailovich Nikolsky (1905–2012).
In 1932 he went to Moscow, entered the graduate school of the Mechanics and Mathematics Faculty of Moscow State University . I managed to go there through rabfak - the next year the rabfak was already closed. Successfully graduated from graduate school in 1936, defended his thesis. He was a party organizer of the Institute of Mechanics.
Received a referral to Vladivostok - Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs at a local university. He headed the department of mechanics at the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics, was dean. After returning to Moscow at the end of 1938, he was hired as an assistant professor at the Department of Theoretical Mechanics at the Armored Academy. In March 1940, he was enrolled as a senior researcher at the Institute of Mechanics of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. On October 19, 1941, he organized the evacuation of the Institute of Mechanics and the Mathematical Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences to Kazan (in subway cars by rail). In March 1942, as part of a scientific group, he returned to Moscow.
He defended his doctoral thesis (Technical Sciences, 1948). He worked as deputy director of the Institute of Mechanics of the USSR Academy of Sciences, head of the laboratory. In December 1947, he passed the competition for the position of the head of the department of theoretical mechanics at MEPhI , and managed it until the liquidation of the department in the 1970s. He worked as a professor at MEPI until the last days of his life.
Entered the Initial Composition of the USSR National Committee on Theoretical and Applied Mechanics (1956).
