Russia education

Ipatieff was born in Russia in 1867. As a member of the privileged (i.e., noble) class, Ipatieff prepared for a military career. Early on in his education, Ipatieff gravitated toward the sciences, and in particular chcmisti y,... 

He is a recognized expert in solid state and materials chemistry and environmental chemistry. He has active programs in solid state f-element chemistry and nanomaterials science. His current research interests include heavy metal detection and remediation in aqueous environments, ferroelectric nanomaterials, actinide and rare-earth metal sohd slate chemistry, and nuclear non-proliferation. He currently maintains a collaboration in nuclear materials with Los Alamos National Laboratory and a collaboration in peaceful materials science development with the Russian Federal Nuclear Center - VNIIEF, Sarov, Russia, U.S. State Department projects. He has published over 100 peer-reviewed journal articles, book chapters, and reviews, while presenting over 130 international and national invited lectures on his area of chemistry. Dr. Dorhout currently serves as Vice Provost for Graduate Studies and Assistant Vice President for research. He has also served as the Interim Executive Director for the Office of International Programs and as Associate Dean for Research and Graduate Education for the College of Natural Sciences at Colorado State University.

Chichibabin, A. E. J. Russ. Phys. Chem. Soc. 1906, 37, 1229. Alexei E. Cbicbibabin (1871—1945) was born in Kuzemino, Russia. He was Markovnikov s favorite student. Markovnikov s successor, Zelinsky (of Hell-Volbard-Zelinsky reaction fame) did not want to cooperate with tbe pupil and gave Cbicbibabin a negative judgment on bis Pb.D. work, earning Cbicbibabin tbe nickname tbe self-educated man. ... 

Peter Simon Pallas (1741—1811) was a native of Berlin. He was broadly educated in medicine, natural sciences, and modem languages, which he studied in Berlin, Halle, Gottingen, the Netherlands, and England. From 1768 until 1774 he made extended journeys at the request of Catherine II and suffered great privations in order to study the natural history of Siberia, the Altai Mountains, the lower Volga region, and the southern part of European Russia (47, 48, 49). 

When Alexander von Humboldt, Gustav Rose, and Christian Gottfried Ehrenberg made a scientific expedition to Russia in 1829 the Russian Minister of Finance E. F. Kankrin made arrangements for their comfort and security. Humboldt made important observations on the gold- and platinum-bearing alluvial deposits of the Urals (92). Professor B. N. Menschutkin published in the Journal of Chemical Education an excellent historical sketch of the Russian platinum (36). 

Gunpowder was the primary explosive used for almost one thousand years. In 1846, the Italian chemist Ascanio Sobrero (1812-1888) first prepared nitroglycerin, but it was twenty years before Alfred Nobel (1833-1896) developed its use commercially. Nobel was bom in Stockholm, Sweden, where his father, Immanuel Nobel (1801-1872), ran a heavy constmction company. When Alfred was four, his father s company went bankrupt and Immanuel left for St. Petersburg, Russia, to start over. Immanuel rebuilt a successful business in Russia, in part due to his ability to develop and sell mines to the Russian Navy for use in the Crimean War. Alfred and the rest of his family joined his father in Russia when he was nine, and Alfred received an excellent education with private tutors. He studied in the United States and Paris where he met Sobrero. Nobel studied... 

Emanuel Nobel, father of Alfred Nobel, invented, at 35 years of age, a torpedo. It exploded and wrecked his home. He was ordered to leave Stockholm. So he went to Russia to operate a torpedo factory near St Petersbourg. He settled in Russia and his sons, including Alfred, were educated there. When Crimean War broke (1853) his torpedoes (or rather mines) loaded with NG-NC prevented the British fleet from approaching Cronstadt, which was the fortress guarding St Petersbourg. After the war, Emanuel, with Alfred and Oscar, returned to Sweden, while Robert Ludwig remained in Russia to work... 

Alfred P. Nobel (1833-1896), famous scientist (born in Sweden, raised and educated in Russia, and worked in Sweden, Germany USA), prepd a double-base smokeless propint by replacing camphor of Celluloid (Vol 2 of Encycl, p C95-L) with NG. He called the propint Ballistite. In 1889 he prepd Ballistite directly from Collodion Cotton (Vol 2 of Encycl, p C103) and NG using the solventless method of Lundholm Sayers. More detailed description is given in Vol 2 of Encycl under Ballistite on pp B8-B9 (See also Vol 3, p C400 and Ref 31a, pp 293—95). 

Professor Komarewsky was born in Moscow in 1895. With characteristic acceptance of the vicissitudes of fate, he let neither service in a bomber squadron in the Imperial Russian Navy nor the turmoil of a bloody social revolution interrupt his early scientific education and development in Russia and Germany. He was particularly fortunate in his associations with two of the great masters of catalysis. First, as a pupil of N. D. Zelinsky, he received an invaluable indoctrination in catalysis, particularly in regard to dehydrogenation and low-pressure reactions. Second, as a fellow worker with V. N. Ipatieff, he became familiar with high-pressure techniques applied to catalytic reactions. 

The family to which Nikolay was born had a small textile business not far from Moscow. His father Konstantin was educated in Russia and Germany as a chemical engineer, and was expected to develop the family business. This did not happen, because all property was confiscated after the Bolshevik revolution. The only thing that his parents could do for Nikolay and his younger brother Alexander (Shura) was to help them to receive the best possible education.

Czar Peter I (the Great) of Russia issued a decree on January 31, 1696, according to which children of nobles could not marry unless they got an adequate education. There is a lot of sense in this. Knowledge is an absolute necessity for all people. We believe that this book is a brick laid in the World Science Building. 

Nina A. Nedolya was born in Irkutsk (Russia) and educated in organic chemistry at the Irkutsk State University (Diploma 1972, PhD 1982, DSc 1998). From 1995 to 1999 she was associated with Prof. L. Brandsma at the Utrecht University (The Netherlands). In 1999 she obtained her second PhD from the Utrecht University. She is presently Head of the Research Group of Chemistry of Heterocyclic Compounds at A. E. Favorsky Irkutsk Institute of Chemistry. She is the author of over 210 review articles and research papers. She is also one of the inventors for 112 patents. She is interested in the chemistry of polyfunctional unsaturated heteroatomic systems (vinyl, allenyl, and alkynyl ethers and their derivatives, linear and cyclic heteropolyenes, hetero-cumulenes), including synthesis of important heterocycles, particularly pyrroles, thiophenes, thiazoles, imidazoles, dihydrofurans, dihydropyridines, pyridines, quinolines, dihydroazepines, and azepines, based on metallated allenes or alkynes and/or heterocumulenes. 

Russia s open nuclear assistance to Iran during the building of the nuclear plant at Bushehr is the most obvious example. Several Russian nnclear institntes were placed on the U.S.-sanction d/v List in 2001 because of joint educational programs with states the United States considered nnsuitable see, for example, U S. Department of Commerce, Bnreau of Indnstiy and Secnrity, Entity List, Januaiy 9, 2004, http //www. bxa.doc.gov/Entities/Default.htm (as of April 30, 2004).
