Biography:

He was born on October 24, 1941, in the Budarka village of Kotelnikovo district of the Volgograd region of the Russian SSR.

During 1949-1959. studied at the school number 4 in Kotelnikovo city and in the same year entered the A. M. Gorky Kharkiv state university. At the start of the KhSU took part in the work of the station for the use of artificial Earth satellites, I was an artist for two years at the University newspaper "Vector", and participated in the construction of the observatory near Chuguev city.

In 1964 he graduated from A. M. Gorky Kharkiv State University with a degree in Astronomy.

During 1962-1965 He worked at the Institute of Radiophysics and Electronics in Kharkiv city.

Since 1965 he was a member of the Main Astronomical Observatory Academy of Sciences of the Ukainian SSR, and since 1991 the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

A career in the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR began on the site of an engineer in the department of astrophysics. He took part in the editions of the Observatory newspaper "Telescope". In March 1969, he was transferred to the position of senior engineer in the physics of the moon and planets.

He worked in the direction of photometry, the inventor and designer of photometers and other instruments used in astronomy. He had the strength to instrument making, he had extensive knowledge in radio physics and electronics. Participated in the development of a multichannel photometer for weak flows, designed for spectral and polarization observations of planets. In 1967, he drew on the development of an electronic device for atomic processing of astronautics, which, as planned, should have become the subject of his master's thesis, which, unfortunately, he did not defend.

In 1969 he took part in the work of the International Astronomical Union in Prague City.

In 1968-1970 he developed an automatic digital two-coated microphotometer for machine processing of astronavigators.

In 1970 he participated in the International Astronomical Union colloquium in England for the automation of astronomical observations and their processing.

In 1973, he completed the creation of blocks of the device AON-3.

Since 1977, he has been in charge of a group of digital runners of asthnegatives. He successfully completed the work on the creation of the automatic photometer ACMF-XY and the device for connecting it to the computer ES-1022 (K-76).

Since June 1986 he was transferred to the position of scientific associate of the Center for Space Operations of the Astronomical Information and Computing Center (ACIOC) of the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine.

In 1986, he as a member of the author's team for the work "Analogue and digital processing of astronomical images" was awarded the State Prize of Ukraine in the field of science and technology.

In the late 80s of the 20th century, as a result of processing electronic data obtained using the microphotometer developed by V.G. Parusimov by scanning a large number of images of the Moon, in particular those obtained using a polarization filter, together with N.V. Opanasenko and Yu. G. Shkuratovyi, they proved that the polarimetry of the Moon is meaningful, and the previously discovered polarimetric anomalies of the lunar surface are not artifacts and actually exist. Another success was their joint work on obtaining the distribution on the lunar disc of the degree of negative polarization of light scattered by the Moon at a phase angle of about 10°.

Since 1995, within the framework of the contract, he was engaged in software development for the functioning of the polarimetric, photovoltaic, spectral and photometric information network, the network of astrophysical support for the Mars project (this information was used to process images received by interplanetary stations "Mars-3", "Mars-4", "Mars-5").

Since July 1, 1996 he worked as an engineer-designer and engineer in the STC "Goloseevo" for maintenance of the telescope AZT-2. Since January 1, 2004 he worked part-time at STC "Goloseevo" as a leading engineer.

Astronomer died in December 22, 2004 in Kyiv City.

He is the author of a number of major developments in the hardware complexes-systems for digital imaging processing, one of which was implemented at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, one in the NGO "Kometa". He also worked on the issues of mathematical and software support for the analysis of photographic observable material, in particular the tasks of thematic mapping of the surface of satellites and planets using space and terrestrial images.

The importance of his inventions is evidenced by numerous Author's Certificates issued by the State Committee of the USSR in 1983, 1985, 1986, 1988 and by the State Committee of Ukraine in 1992.
