Bogorodsky biography

Arskoy Kazan St. Nikolai Ershov, d. Family burial. Mother - Ekaterina Mikhailovna Yastrebova in the year violated the stability of the family’s existence with “reckless” admission to the law faculty of Kazan University. A year later, realizing the mistake, Alexei switched to the department of natural sciences, but there, too, he was decently distracted from classes and at chemistry exams more than once suffered a failure.

Then Yakov Alekseevich presented the ultimatum: "You will not pass the exam - earn your own living." These harsh words, apparently, contributed to the formation of Alexei Bogorodsky with a prominent scientist, to whom Mendeleev himself wrote enthusiastic letters. In the funds of the Museum of the Kazan National Research Technical University there is an autobiography of A. Bogorodsky, in which he writes: “...

I received initial education and education from the environment from my father. It is significant that the gifts I received from my father at the summer were a carpentry workshop with instruments, an alcohol light bulb and test tubes for physical and chemical experiments, a lathe and tools for wood and metal. Walking towards my interests, my father got me books on chemistry and other departments of natural science.

Hence the beginning of my practical craft skills and interest in the natural sciences ... ” In the year, Alexei received a degree with a diploma, from January 1 to January 1, he was a professor scholarship at the Department of Chemistry. Years of study at the Department of Natural Sciences of the Physics and Mathematics Faculty of Kazan University were for the Bogorodsky time to determine the future calling.

An undoubted role in this was played by a prominent chemist, an excellent teacher and a wonderful mentor of youth professor, corresponding member of the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences Flavian Flavitsky's curiosity of the Bogorodsky student forced F. Flavitsky to take great attention. Bogorodsky was decently distracted from classes and in an organization for inorganic chemistry suffered a failure.

Then again, and once again - the professor’s requirements became clearly increased for him. Meanwhile, the father of Bogorodsky presented the ultimatum to his son: "You do not pass the exam - earn your own living." Finally, having thoroughly studied not only the Flavic textbook, but also the “Fundamentals of Chemistry” of Mendeleev, Bogorodsky achieved success. And then Flavian Mikhailovich, who had long noticed his abilities, said: "Well, now you will go in chemistry." Bogorodsky student for the “study of hydrate forms of chloride and bromide lithium” was awarded the University of a silver medal in November.

Bogorodsky, after a successful end in the year with a diploma of the I Cteadeni, as a graduate who has already established himself by scientific works, was left at the university and 1. In the years, Bogorodsky taught chemistry at the first Kazan real school, and in the year, after passing the master's exams and reading the speed of chemical reactions, as a measure of chemical affinity, and the measure “The frequency of the properties of chemical elements” received the title of Privat-Doche at the Department of Chemistry.

In December, Bogorodsky, as he noted in his biography, “was determined to the post of laboratory assistant in the laboratory of inorganic chemistry of Kazan University, which is under the guidance and management of Professor F. At this time, he had already been determined in general terms and the purpose of research, the experience of scientific work appeared. In the laboratory of V.

Luginin at Moscow University in the year, he studied thermometry and thermochemistry, and these classes, according to him, “determined the main direction of my scientific thought in bogging with the direction of the school of Professor F. from August 17 to September 5, to participate in the X Congress of Russian natural scientists and doctors. From June 1 to August 15, he was again sent abroad to familiarize himself with the modern production of chemical laboratories of Western Europe.

From December 15 to January 15, he was in St. Petersburg-he took part in the XI Congress of Russian natural scientists and doctors. Upon returning to Kazan, according to Bogorodsky, he acutely felt the Kazan Laboratory "Inexpressibly poor." The request for additional allocations from the university was heard, and already in the year the thermostat, cylinders for compressed gases and other equipment were purchased for the department.

At this time, with difficulty collecting equipment for research on the electrochemistry of molten salts, Bogorodsky began work on a master's thesis, which he defended in the year. In the year by the Council of Kazan University, he was elected a professor, and in the year he took the position of head of the Department of Inorganic Chemistry. In the year, after the merger of the university’s chemical faculty with the Kazan Polytechnic Institute, Bogoroditsky headed the department in KHTI and led it until the last days of his life.

Bogorodsky, to the degree of Doctor of Chemical Sciences without the defense of the dissertation. Alexei Yakovlevich Bogorodsky is among the advanced representatives of the Kazan School of Chemists.Modern chemists showed close attention to his scientific creativity, many results of his research have not lost their significance to this day, and are interesting not only to historians of science, but also to specialists of various industries.

Mendeleev, in his letter of April 10, was so evaluated by one of Alexei Bogorodsky’s well-known studies “Materials on the electrochemistry of inorganic compounds in the firefighting state” Part I, the Publishing House of Kazan. I dare to say that you are excellent in the way and if you strengthen it, you’re drowning a lot. Caution, but firmly - dare, not according to the fashionable template, but in the old scientific - this is what you want to say from the heart.

Excuse me that I advise, but I can’t resist, because it is not very often that I have to read such that it promises a lot, full of internal foresight and alien to the curiosity. The brilliant lectures of Bogorodsky in inorganic chemistry were listened by many generations of university students, the chemical and technological institute, doctors and veterinarians, students of the Institute of Agriculture and Forestry.

The most fruitful period of A. Bogorodsky’s activity is Soviet time. The young Soviet Republic was in dire need of qualified personnel to build a socialist chemical industry. And all his talent to the scientist and teacher Bogorodsky gave the training of chemical specialists, the case of the development of the chemical industry. Public lectures by Alexei Yakovlevich in the courses of photography and historical and chemical topics, his reports in the Kazan society of natural scientists were very successful.

Bogorodsky gave lectures vividly and temperamentally, always arranging them with demonstration experiments. Since the year, he actively worked as the head of the inorganic department of the laboratory of the Raw Material Commission at the Kazan branch of the Military-Technical Assistance Committee, then transformed into the Society for the Study of the Productive Forces of the Kazan Territory.

Together with J. Lopatkin, studies of raw materials were conducted for glass production, analysis of the Kazan gas and benzene-tololae plants, and wood sucket methods were studied, and the production of special glass for the production of chemical dishes and instruments was organized.

As a member of the Council of Labor Control, Bogorodsky took part since the year in the launch of the glass factories of the Volga region. All huge organizational and research work on the rise of the chemical industry of Tataria was carried out by Bogorodsky on a voluntary basis, along with tense pedagogical activity. The Bogorodsky struggle for the preservation of one of the oldest chemical enterprises in Russia - the Bondyuzh chemical plant gave a lot of effort and energy.

In fulfillment of the decisions of the V M. Mendeleevsky congress, which called for scientists to consider the problem of chemistizing the national economy number one problem, together with a group of workers of the Tatar Scientific and Research Industrial and Economic Institute, he conducted a deep analysis of the enterprise’s activities and on the basis of scientifically substantiated the prospects for the development of its production for the period from the year.

In the commemoration of the merits of A. fifteen years of the creative activity of the scientist, they were devoted to the development of the chemical industry of Tataria. Organization of the production of Portland cement from local gypsum and clay, study of the Sukeevsky deposit of bitumen and sulfur, the organization of new chemical industries and the improvement of technological processes, constant consulting work at chemical enterprises, lectures for workers and engineering personnel-these are the circle of issues that, delving into all the subtleties, was dealt with by the member of the Presidium of the Council of TASSR, Professor A.

noting his desertion in the construction The chemical industry, in the year, in connection with the flying of pedagogical activity, the TASSR government awarded A. Bogorodsky’s social activity, the multiple and talented, left a noticeable mark on the activities of Dobrochim, Osaaviahim and the Kazan branch of D., he was a member of all Mendeleevsky congresses for the year, and a member of the Organizational Committee of the V Mendeleevsky congress in the year.

Over the almost half-century period of pedagogical activity, 48 years and 51 years of scientific work, A. Bogorodsky, brought dozens of research scientists, hundreds of chemical engineers, doctors, veterinarians, builders. At Bogorodsky, he completed his first student work on analytical chemistry “Development of a titrimetric method for determining the highest degrees of manganese oxidation” Alexander Erminingelovich Arbuzov, later the famous scientist, the founder of the Russian School of Chemistry-Fosporgans.

Many students of Bogorodsky and students of his students became outstanding scientists and successfully continue the fruitful directions of the Kazan school of chemists, the development of which his whole life was given. Alexei Yakovlevich Bogoroditsky died in Kazan in the year, buried in the Arsky cemetery, in the family necropolis, where father and mother were buried.
