Biography:
He was born May 27, 1914 in Odessa city Kherson province of the Russian Empire in the family of a doctor.
While studying at a labor school, he had little income due to private lessons.
After graduating from school, the boy continued his studies at the railway technical school, where in practice he traveled as an assistant engineer at the locomotive. He finished the technical school in 1932 and, after obtaining the qualification of railway equipment, he went to work in a specialty "locomotive engineer".
Soon the young man enrolled in the evening department of the Odessa Institute of Public Education, based on which in 1933 Odessa State University was restored. It was difficult to combine work and study and in 1934 the student switched to the faculty of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of the Odessa State University.
In 1937 he graduated from Odessa State University, he was promoted to graduate school at Odessa University and immediately began to teach astronomical and other disciplines to students, schoolchildren, and students of various educational institutions. His lectures were read until 1988, releasing a large number of astronomers.
In 1940, he entered the ranks of the Soviet Army in private, served in artillery intelligence, in the first days of the war captured a hostile officer. He was gifted with polyglot fluent in 6 languages: English, German, French, Russian, Ukrainian, and Jewish-Yiddish, and he worked in the propagandistic section on the front line of the front. He was thrice wounded and heavily wrinkled. He graduated from the war of 1941-1945 at the hospital in 1946 in the rank of captain with a large number of awards.
In 1946, returning to Odessa city, a scientist came to I. I. Mechnikov Odessa State University and became an assistant, soon became a senior lecturer in the Department of Astronomy. On the recommendation of V. P. Tsesevich, the scientist engaged in theoretical studies of close double stars.He became the first astronomer to apply the theory of extended atmospheres of Kozyrev-Chandrasekhar stars to the determination of the elements of the orbits of eclipsing variable stars.
The theme of the candidate's dissertation, which was protected by the astronomer in 1947, was the development of the theory of determining the elements of double-star orbits. obscured, with extended atmospheres in the theory of Kozyrev-Chandrasekar. He has published his knowledge on this topic in two monographs, one of which is written in co-authorship and two methodical manuals.
In next year after the defense of PhD, he became associate professor of the Department of Astronomy of the I. I. Mechnikov Odessa State University, and in 1955 he became part-time deputy director at the Astronomical Observatory of the University.
As the organizer of science, he made a great contribution to the development of the Odessa astronomical observatory in the postwar period, when the observatory was greatly expanded (deputy director), the Odessa planetarium, the Odessa branch of the VAGO.
He lectured to students courses of General and Practical Astrophysics, Star Astronomy, a special course "Eclipse of Double Stars".
I was very fond of cycling. He was outstanding in Odessa, a cyclist, figure skater, track racer, built a cycling track with his comrades.
On September 1, 1994 he died in Odessa city.
The main directions of the scientific astronomer were stellar systems and variable stars.
