Biography:
He was born on May 11, 1925 in the Krasnodar city of Krasnodar Territory of the Russian SSR.
Participant of the Great Patriotic War of the USSR against fascist Germany in 1941-1945, which is part of World War II. He was awarded the Order of the Patriotic War of the first degree and Glory of the third degree and ten military medals.
After graduating from A.M. Gorky Kharkiv State University in 1951, he worked until 1967 as the head of the laboratory at the Kurchatov Institute of Atomic Energy. During 1967-1992, he worked at the Institute of Space Research, first as a senior nuclear employee, and then as a department head.
Since 1992, he has been a senior researcher at the Institute of Astronomy of the Russian Academy of Sciences.
In 1969, he received the scientific degree of Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, and in 1990, the title of professor. He gave lectures at the Moscow State University named after M. V. Lomonosov and the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology.
Laureate of the Lenin Prize, awarded with gold and two silver medals Exhibition of achievements of the national economy.
The author of about three hundred works on the physics of laboratory and space plasma, the physics of the Sun and solar cosmic rays. Published four books, including "Topics in plasma diagnosis" (Plenum Press, 1967).
Together with L.A. Artsymovych, the scientist obtained for the first time in the laboratory plasma with a temperature of 106 degrees and discovered the effect of particle acceleration in a powerful pulsed discharge. Together with L.A. Artsymovich and S.Yu. Lukyanov formulated and implemented the idea of electrodynamic acceleration of plasma clots.
Plasma flows from an electrodynamic accelerator allow us to simulate the interaction of the solar wind with the Earth and various planets in the laboratory. He formulated the principle of limited modeling of cosmic phenomena, modeled a geomagnetic tail in the laboratory for the first time, and showed the correctness of Birman's hypothesis about the magnetic nature of comet tails. The flight of the Comet Explorer to Comet Jacobini-Zinner confirmed the data of this laboratory experiment. The results of laboratory modeling allowed him, Sh.Sh. Dolginov and his colleagues to establish that the magnetosphere of Venus is formed with the help of the magnetic field of the solar wind.
Together with A.I. Podgorny on the results of numerical three-dimensional MHD modeling and analysis of data on the current layer in the geomagnetic tail obtained on the IKB-1300 spacecraft, he constructed a solar flare model. The model explains the main manifestations of a solar flare, including the generation of solar rays.
It is shown that the flash energy accumulates in the magnetic field of the current layer formed above the active region.
