Biography:
He was born in January 1923 in Krasnoyarsk city of Russian SSR in family of workers. His parents came from the Drokino village which is locating in the suburb of Krasnoyarsk.
In 1949 he graduated from the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of the Krasnoyarsk Pedagogical Institute, where he graduated from the 21st Krasnoyarsk School in 1940.
The Teaching at the University was interrupted by the beginning of the Great Patriotic War of the USSR with the German fascist invaders, which was part of the Second World War. In September 1941 from the second year he was called into the army. The airplane "Alaska-Siberia" was flown by a flyer-pilot, discharging American planes through the taiga spaces of Chukotka and Western Siberia. Later he participated in the battles of the First Ukrainian Front. He was awarded the medal "For the victory over Germany". After demobilization in 1946 he continued his studies at the Krasnoyarsk Pedagogical Institute.
In 1954 he defended his Ph.D. thesis "Investigation of temperature magnetic hysteresis of nickel by the method of automatic photo-recording" in the specialized council at the Moscow region
pedagogical institute. Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR L.V. Kirensky was his scientific leader.
In 1966 he defended his doctoral dissertation "Magnetostructural transformations in ferrites" at the M.V. Lomonosov Moscow State University.
He started his career as a teacher of the Krasnoyarsk School of Young Workers No 1, still a student at the pedagogical institute. During 1949-1951 he worked as an assistant at the Department of Physics of the Siberian Forestry Engineering Institute. Since 1954 he has been working as a lecturer in the Department of Physics of the Krasnoyarsk Pedagogical Institute.
After launching on October 4, 1957, in the Soviet Union, an artificial satellite of the earth, according to the decision of the Astronomical Council of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR at the Krasnoyarsk Pedagogical Institute, an observation station for artificial satellites was opened. Associate professor of the Department of Physics V.D. Dilgerov was appointed the head of it. A group of teachers and students supervised. Among the most active teachers was Alexander Ivanovich Drokin, they spent a lot of work and forces on organizing the station's service and preparing students for this work.
During 1961-1964 he worked as a Senior Researcher, and then Deputy Director of Science at the Institute of Physics, USSR Academy of Sciences. During 1964-1969 he was the head of the laboratory of magnetic materials at the Institute of Physics of the USSR Academy of Sciences. In 1967 he was awarded the title of professor.
During 1969-1975 he was the rector of Krasnoyarsk State University.
Since 1975 he has been working as a Head of the Department of Experimental Physics of the M.V. Frunze Simferopol State University and headed the laboratory of magnetic materials for computer technology. He was a representative of the Siberian Magnetic School, headed by Academician L.V. Kirensky. Scientists became the founder of the Crimean Scientific School of Magnetism.
In 1957, the scientist received an honorary diploma of the Ministry of Education of the RSFSR, later on the honorary diploma of the Astronomical Council of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, the badge "Participant of the International Geophysical Year", as well as the medal "For the development of virgin and transitional lands."
He died in July, 1993 in Simferopol city.
Author of 67 scientific works.
