Pavlova M biography

Among them is a biologist, children's writer Nina Mikhailovna Pavlova [7]. In the formation of the inclinations of the scientist and writer N. Pavlova, the family played a large role. Already during his lifetime he was called the father of Russian metallurgy. The labor biography of M. Pavlov began at the metallurgical plants of the Vyatka Mountain District in the Urals. Here he met his future wife - the eldest daughter of the manager of the Kholunitsky factories Andrei Andreyevich Zigel.

Mikhail Aleksandrovich in the house of Zigel was accepted very affably. At that time, this family consisted of the sister of Andrei Andreevich, her three daughters, of which the eldest was the mistress of the house, and three daughters of Andrei Andreyevich. The young engineer Pavlov first met with the eldest daughter of A. Siegel when she was fifteen years old.

For the first time I made an offer when she graduated from a gymnasium, but received a polite refusal due to her bride’s youth. And, said M. Pavlov, “in the person of my wife, I acquired a friend who created a calm family life to me, who did not overshadowed any squabbles and allowed me to surrender to my favorite business, not afraid of reproaches, if this business did not ensure the material well -being of the family.

It came, this welfare, subsequently by itself, as a result of my many years of work and the constant help of my wife, satisfied with the modest - by means - life and accustomed to her of her children ”[1, p. By the age of thirty, M. Pavlov receives recognition as a specialist who deeply knowledgeable technological processes for the production of cast iron and steel. In the year he is invited to one of the largest domestic metallurgical plants - Sulinsky - to the position of head of domain production.

Before taking office, engineer Pavlov visits the Sulin plant, gets acquainted with production, and then goes with his wife to America to study the domain melting on anthracite there. In the village of Sulin, there was no apartment for the Pavlov family. For the workers there was a barracks called Bastilia. When the plant began to expand and the number of workers increased, they began to settle in dugouts.

Mikhail Alexandrovich was the first engineer for whom the house was designed and built. Even in America, M. Pavlov received a letter from the director of the Sulinsky factory Kinkel, which reported that the house was "growing like a mushroom." When Pavlov arrived, it turned out that the “mushroom” grew up, but was completely raw. The house was made of local unconscious stone. Its thick walls with a large number of lime mortar required a long time to dry.

In the meantime, the family of an engineer was allocated a room in the lower floor of one of the houses of the village. Olga Andreevna, who arrived with his four -year -old son Boris and Nanny, was horrified: the wooden houses in which they lived in the Urals were palaces compared to the shack in which they settled a young specialist. But it was necessary to somehow live, and the Pavlov family, having arrived in the late autumn of the year, spent the winter in a dark, cramped and uncomfortable room.

Here on January 27 on February 8, [8], the spouses and daughter Nina was born. The Pavlov family lived here more spring and summer, while the stone house dried up. It was a completely comfortable four -room house on a high foundation under the slate roof, located on a hill with which a beautiful view of the plant was opened and, in particular, to the Martenovsky workshop.

For engineer Pavlov, a special gate was made in the factory fence, which was locked. From the veranda or from the window, he could see what was being done in the workshop. A phone was held in the house, a rarity at that time. In the year, a memorial plaque with the text was installed on the building: “In this house in - gg. Unfortunately, the house has not been preserved to this day. Four years later, the Pavlovs moved to Yekaterinoslav, four more later-to St.

Petersburg. Pavlov was offered the position of professor of metallurgy at the Polytechnic Institute. The institute was quite far beyond the line of the city, in the village of Lesnoy. There was a professor corps for teachers, in which there were many comfortable apartments. You could get into the city on a small steamer with wagons. The road took so much time that living, it would seem, in the capital, the Pavlov family almost did not use the advantages of the capital's inhabitants.

But the area was considered very favorable for living, especially with children: according to urban traditions, even "the dirt was clean." Children M. Pavlova, daughter Nina and son Igor, studied at a commercial school. The commercial school in Lesnoy is one of the brightest phenomena in the system of secondary education of Russia in the early twentieth century.

The building of the school was distinguished by technical innovations - a water supply and steam heating, there were 28 rooms with electric lighting in it. Spacious classes were equipped with special equipment for practical work. Unlike traditional gymnasiums, boys and girls studied here, which was considered an innovation at that time. At the school there was a female doctor, in every class among teachers there were women.

No more than 35 students were typed in classes.The training was paid, there were also entrance exams, so the contingent of students was a rather high level. Pupils were obliged to wear a form: a black cloth, according to the Austrian model, trimmed with dark green cloth, the same color of trousers and a cap, according to the model for the civilian officials of the military department, a special sign at the handle of fodder-a rod with Hermes's helmet, wings above them.

The girls wore the form of pupils of the female gymnasium of the Ministry of Education - a brown dress and black apron [2]. Neither awards, nor punishments, nor any measures of external influence on the student were applied to the school in order to force him to engage, but this developed in the students the independence, a sense of duty and consciousness of their duties. Natural science was taught by Boris Evgenievich Raikov, an experienced biologist and a talented teacher who managed to give his students deep knowledge and instill in them a love of nature.

This predetermined the further fate of Nina Mikhailovna. In the years, N. her father wrote in his memoirs: “My daughter, unfortunately, was not experiencing any attraction to technical sciences, entered the former women's university, the so-called Bestuzhev courses, which were soon transformed into 3rd Petrograd University” [1, p. In the summer of the year, Professor M.

Pavlov and colleagues go on a business trip to the Urals. And since hungry times began in St. Petersburg, it was decided to go with their families to feed. First, by train, and then on a ship along the Vyatka River, the Pavlov family reached the pier of the Turkish. A good house was found and rented here. The wife and children of Mikhail Alexandrovich lived in him until the very frosts.

In deep autumn, with great difficulty, the family returned to Petrograd. Moreover, on the road from the Pavlovs, all the stored products were seized. This trip was so exhausted that they decided not to leave anywhere else, but to live at home, no matter what happened, no matter what difficult times came in Petrograd. And the times were really difficult. Briefly suffering from the cold, the Pavlov family was forced to proceed with the “self -loading” - collecting combustible materials.

Their large apartment gradually turned into a three -room room: Mikhail Alexandrovich and Olga Andreevna lived in one, in the other children, the third was a professorship. The rest of the rooms became non -residential. Life concentrated mainly in the kitchen, where it was still warmer. In winter, the room temperature was about zero. I had to sleep under blankets and fur coats, walking around the rooms in fur coats in the afternoon.

Hunger occurred under the tsarist government, even then the lack of delivery of products began to be affected. The basis of power at that time was soldering.

Often they were insufficient and consisted of bread and herring. At the beginning of the year, Mikhail Aleksandrovich was offered to work in one of the museums of Petrograd - to choose the drawings of the Marten and domain furnaces. They paid bread for work. Due to one and a half pounds of black bread, I had to walk from the Polytechnic Institute to the museum, overcoming almost 18 kilometers.

But then the professor's family received a whole edge with a milking. Nina Mikhailovna began her work in the year as a teacher of natural science of a single labor school at the Polytechnic Institute in Petrograd. Then she worked at the excursion station at the Forest Institute, an assistant to the Department of Botany at the N. Pedagogical Institute in the year, she graduated from the natural department of the Physics and Mathematics Faculty of Petrograd University with a degree in systematics and geography of plants.

In years, he was simultaneously a graduate student of the Peterhof Biological Institute at LSU. In the year, for this work, Moscow University awarded her a degree of candidate of biological sciences without defending a dissertation. Once, a year, two unfamiliar visitors came to Vir. One of them turned out to be Zoologist Leo Valentinovich Bianchi, the other - the editor of the magazine "Young Naturalist".

They asked the director of VIR N. Vavilov to recommend an employee to them who could write for children about the work of the institute. Nikolai Ivanovich sent them to N. Pavlova, evaluating her literary abilities according to humorous poems in the wall newspaper. The proposal to write for children confused the young scientist, although there were already attempts to write stories.

The editor of the “Young Naturalist” asked to give her something from what was written. A few days later, Lev Valentinovich called and offered to come to his brother, the writer Vitaly Bianchi, to the apartment where several comrades will gather to discuss her story.
