He was born on January 7 (January 20 in a new style) in 1905 in the village of Skotovatoye, Bakhmut district, Yekaterinoslav province, in the family of Alexander Alexandrovich and Lyubov Abramovna.

I. Vysotsky [2] ).
In 1933, Abram Aleksandrovich began his teaching activities, conducted practical classes on the course "Coal and Shale Exploration Techniques" at the Tomsk Industrial Institute (the so-called Tomsk Polytechnic University at that time). In 1934, he was sent to the Prokopyevsky mine administration of Kuzbass for an internship in production. While working as a senior geologist in the mines of Kuzbass , he studied the tectonics of the Prokopyevsk-Kiselevsky district, in particular, he made many observations and measurements at the Koksovaya-1 mine. At the end of 1935, he returned to the department and began to process the collected material for his dissertation, which he defended on April 25, 1937. In November 1938 he was approved in the academic rank of associate professor and academic degree of candidate of sciences. Acting at the department as an assistant professor, Belitsky simultaneously worked in Kuzbass, performing the tasks of the Kuzbassugol trust. [one]
In October 1950, Belitsky defended his doctoral dissertation on the topic “Tectonics of the southwestern part of the Prisalair coal strip of the Kuzbass”, in 1951 he was approved as a professor and a doctor’s degree. Since 1954 - Head of the Department of Mineral Exploration Techniques; since September 1957 - Head of the Department of Minerals, Geological Prospecting Department; from May 18 to October 1, 1957 - Dean of the Geological Prospecting Department; Since July 1960 - Head of the Department of Geology and Mineral Exploration of the Tomsk Polytechnic Institute. Under his leadership, about 10 master's theses were defended.
From September 1, 1952 to September 1, 1957, Abram Aleksandrovich concurrently worked as a professor in the department of geophysical methods of exploration at Tomsk State University. In addition, at different times, part-time worked at the KuzNII and the West Siberian branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences [3] .
