Graduated from Moscow Power Engineering Institute (1951).
From 1951 to 1955 he was a senior laboratory assistant, from 1952 an engineer with the right to conduct independent explosive experiments on the development of elements of nuclear charges in the gas-dynamic sector of KB-11 (VNIIEF, Sarov).
In the spring of 1952, R.Z. Ludaev, E.A. Feoktistova, G.A. Tsyrkov, A.A. Chvileva carried out the first explosive experiment in the USSR to obtain superstrong magnetic fields.

Zababakhin): group leader, department head, since 1970 head of laboratory 43-1 for the development and development of FS (focusing system). Under her leadership, highly efficient systems have been developed that provide the necessary tactical and technical characteristics of nuclear charges.
