About K.P. Stanukovich

 

  Kirill Petrovich Stanyukovich made a significant contribution to the development of various fields of science: gas dynamics, physics of explosion, magnetic hydrodynamics, astronomy. He developed hydro-dynamic model of gravity, the theory of gravity with a variation of the effective gravitational constant, with a variable number of particles, he offered one of the first evolution scenarios of the Universe with an initial vacuum stage. Many works by Stanyukovich were translated into foreign languages and published by well-known foreign publishers including Pergamon Press.His work on the self-similar solutions and the work with well-known scientist Landau on converging wave contributed significantly to the development of science.

 

  Stanyukovich comes from an old noble family. His father Peter Aleksandrovich worked at Moscow-Kursk railway, his mother's name was Sophia Zdislavovna Krachkevich. In the early 1930s, K.P.Stanyukovich, as a high school student, became interested in astronomy and joined Moscow Society of Astronomy Fanciers (MSAF). At that time he got acquainted with Leonid Kulik, a famous Tunguska meteorite explorer. In 1932 The Bulletin of MSAF team published Stanyukovich's first article entitled Lyrids in 1930 andco-authored by I.E.Vasilev.

 

  Having finished high school in 1934 Stanyukovich entered the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of Lomonosov Moscow State University for a distance learning course. He worked as a tour guide at the Astronomic Exhibition in the Central Park of Culture and Recreation (Gorky Park). In 1938-1939 in Kursk and Belgorod he gave lectures for students of Moscow Distance Learning University. In 1939 he graduated from the Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics of Lomonosov Moscow State University majoring in Astronomy and was drafted into the Red Army but he in 1941 he was dismissed because of an eye disease. In 1942-1945Stanyukovichworked in collaboration with S.V.Kaftanov and I.V. Kurchatov. In 1944 he defended his Candidate's thesis and in 1946 – his Doctoral thesis. His first   book The theory of unsteady gas motions was published in 1948.  In 1952 he received the academic rank of a professor. In 1952-1961 he worked at Bauman Moscow Higher Technical School. In 1954he was awarded the Order of Red Banner of Labor for his work on explosive phenomena.

 

  Many of Stanyukovich's theoretical studies have a great practical value. In 1945-1985 he made a number of inventions that have found practical application. They are confirmed by 25 copyright certificates. For this work in 1981 K.P.Stanyukovich was awarded the USSR State Prize, and in 1974 – the title of Honored Worker of Science and Technology of the Russian Federation. High professional level and vigorous pedagogical activity allowed professor Stanyukovich to create a number of scientific schools of theoretical physics. He taught courses in gas dynamics and physics of explosion at Bauman Moscow Higher Technical School, lectured on magnetic hydrodynamics and the theory of gravitation at the Faculty of Physics of Lomonosov Moscow State University. There are more than 25 doctors and 50 candidates of science among his students. Working in Moscow, Kyrgyzstan, Kazakhstan, Armenia, Georgia they are promoting hisideas. Professor Stanyukovich's most prominent achievement   in the  60s  and 70s was setting up one of the largest and most efficient scientific associations of theoretical  physicists in thiscountry, where more than 70 talented scientists successfully operated in the Soviet period. Working in different areas of physics including gravity and cosmology most of them have become renowned in Russia and abroad.

 

 

BMSTU

 

  The history of our institution, the Bauman MHTS (Moscow Higher Technical School), or presently the Bauman MSTU (Moscow State Technical University) dates back to 1830, when Emperor Nicholas I confirmed the "statute of the industrial school" to open in Moscow. Russia's developing industry needed skilled labor in many trades. So, the aim of the new school was to train skillful artisans with a solid theoretical background to improve and spread skills in various trades all over Russia. The training personnel of the school comprised graduates of the Moscow University who specialized in mathematics, mechanics, physics and chemistry. By 1868 the academic standards of the school were so high that it was reorganized into a special institution of higher learning (Imperial Moscow Technical School or IMTS). Its major task now was to train mechanics in construction, engineering and manufacturing. The IMTS was financially supported by the Government and industrialists. Its management was democratic. Its teaching staff boasted of many talented scientists who maintained contacts with the West. All these circumstances helped the School to achieve outstanding successes in manufacturing processes and practices in the chemical, food and textile industries, metal and wood processing, and structural mechanics. During the 1876 Exhibition in Philadelphia the practically-minded Americans highly appreciated and admired the methods used by the School, recognizing them as an original "Russian system" of training engineers. In 1876, Dr. Wrinkle, President of the Boston Institute of Technology, writes to V.K.Dela-Vos, Director of the Imperial Moscow Technical School that Russia is a recognized leader in handling the important problems of engineering education..., and that no other system will hence be used in America.

 

  Thus, the Moscow Higher Technical School joined the ranks of "leading polytechnical schools in Europe".

 

  The late 19th century witnessed quickening progress in electrical engineering, aeromechanics, and the power engineering industry.

 

  In 1918, the MHTS organized several research institutes, including TSAGI (Central Aerodynamics and Hydrodynamics Institute), which eventually developed into independent structures, separating from their parent. The quick industrial expansion of the country called for new training facilities on other fields of science and technology. In 1930, the MHTS began to branch out into many new institutions of higher learning: the Moscow Aviation Institute, the Moscow Power Engineering Institute, the Military Chemical Academy, the Textile Institute, and the Moscow Civil Engineering Institute.

 

  The MHTS continued to specialize in training engineers for the machine-building and instrumentation industries.

 

  In 1938, the MHTS opened new departments with a defense profile: armoured vehicles and tanks, artillery, and ammunition. In 1948, a department of rocketry was added.

 

  The following famous scientists and specialists have graduated our school: Academician A.N.Tupolev, S.P.Korolev, and many other aircraft and rocket designers and developers; Academician N.A.Dollezhal, chief designer of atomic piles; Academician A.I.Tselikov, chief designer of metallurgical engineering; Academician S.A.Lebedev, chief designer of computers.

 

  Our School is distinguished for high-level scientific and engineering training of students, extensive relations with industries, good traditions, and high professional and moral requirements which both the professors and students feel obliged to meet and maintain.

 

  In 1989, the MHTS was conferred a new name: the Bauman Moscow State Technical University (Bauman MSTU).
