Biography:
He was born June 11, 1927 in the Perekopivka village of the Romny District of the Poltava region of the Ukrainian SSR (now the Sumy region of Ukraine).
His father, Konstantin Dmitrievich, worked as a director in the schools of Romny and Lokhvytsky districts.
Mother, Maria Alexandrovna (maiden name Yanovska, originates from the family of the Gogol-Yanovsky which is old Cossack noble family, originating from some of Jacob, who lived in the XVII century), worked as a teacher of junior classes.
In June 1941, when the Great Patriotic War began, the Soviet Union against the German fascist invaders, which is partly the Second World War, the boy finished the 7th grade. In September, the family is evacuated to the Novokalitviansky district of the Voronezh region, where the father is appointed head of the district department of public education.
In 1945 he graduated from the tenth grade and entered the Faculty of Physics of Taras Shevchenko Kyiv State University, who graduated in 1950 from Bogorodsky O. F. was the head of his qualification work, and subsequently also studying in postgraduate studies.
He collected the observation material for his Ph.D. thesis "Spatial structure and absolute photometry of planetary nebulas" at the Abastuman Astrophysical Observatory of the Georgian USSR.
In the autumn of 1952, at the party meetings of members of the Communist Party of the University, when discussing the abstracts of the report to the XIX Party Congress, he made his thoughts on the need to improve the remuneration of collective farmers. In January 1953, signed by the secretary of the Stalin District Committee of the Kyiv City Party in the newspaper " The Truth of Ukraine ", an article" On ideological mistakes in the work of the Metropolitan University "appeared, in which the name of Hulak was mentioned. There was a question about his exclusion from the postgraduate study. With the death of JV Stalin, this question, which arose on the political grounds, was frozen, but everything was still not so smooth ...
In 1953, the astronomer graduated from the postgraduate study, and defended the dissertation only in 1958 under the name: "Detailed photometry and spatial structure of planetary nebulae NGC 6720, 7009 and 7662". Before the conflict, the prospective graduate student was hired to work at the Observatory in Abastuman and the Sternberg Institute of Astronomy at the M. V. Lomonosov Moscow State University named after , but refused to port. An attempt to get a job at the Main Astronomical Observatory of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR, too, was not successful.
After graduate school, she works at the Sumy Pedagogical Institute as a senior lecturer, head of the Department of Physics, Dean of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics. He is studying mechanics, atomic physics, astronomy.
Only after the defense of the candidate, receives an invitation from the Director of the GAO academician of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Ye.P.Fedorov to take the position of senior scientist and later Deputy Director of the Observatory at the Main Astronomical Observatory. But because of family circumstances and the need to work out the housing received scientist forced to refuse.
In 1962 the teacher received the academic degree of the associate professor of the Department of Physics at the Poltava Pedagogical Institute named after VG Korolenko.
In 1966, he was appointed deputy rector for the educational work of the Poltava Pedagogical Institute named after VG Korolenko. In this post he worked until 1970
During 1978-1982 he was the head of the department of physics at the Poltava Pedagogical Institute.
During 1991-1999 he worked as a senior researcher at the Poltava Graviometry Observatory at the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, combining this work with teaching activities until the mid 90's.
In 1991 he became the head of the topic "The derivation of macquranch effects in gravitational fields by the distribution of substances in planetary systems."
He is a member and one of the founders of the international astronomical society of Russia, the CIS and the Baltic States ("Astro"). The company was founded in 1990.
The scientist formed the foundations of the statistical quantization theory in Newtonian planetary systems. By working on the proof of the unified essence of the mechanics of cosmic and atomic planetary systems (classical and quantum theory), Yu. K. Gulak obtained an equation similar to the Schrödinger equation from purely classical positions.
Being a dean of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of the Sumy Pedagogical Institute, he founded the Astronomical Observatory.
He died on October 19, 2001, and was buried in Poltava city.
Recent areas of the scientific work of a scientist are the study of mechanical systems with a critical center, with the cecum of celestial mechanics. He is the author of more than 80 scientific and methodical publications.
The International Biographical Center (Cambridge, England) the name of Gulak Yuriy Konstantinovich is listed in the Book of Leaders of Contemporary Scientific Progress.
