In 1989, he defended his thesis on "Comparative biological characteristics of European and Canadian beavers in the USSR (adaptive changes during acclimatization)", received the degree of candidate of sciences in zoology.
In 2003 he defended his doctoral dissertation “Biological features of native and artificially created Eurasian beaver populations and their importance for the resource management strategy”, received a doctorate in biological sciences with a degree in hunting management.
Scientific activity
Back in 1979, the institute offered him a topic for the scientific work “Beavers”.
In the first year of his work, the young scientist visited a long expedition to the Far East, where he was in the Khabarovsk Territory, and studied beaver acclimatization.
