Outstanding polar explorer A.N. Kornilov celebrates his 85th birthday

Nikolai Alexandrovich devoted more than fifty years to the study of the polar regions of the planet. Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute - numerous friends and colleagues of Nikolai Alexandrovich cordially congratulate him on his anniversary, wishing him good health for many years to come and the continuation of his important and noble work in the public field!

Field research: research observatory in Tiksi

Nikolai Aleksandrovich Kornilov - polar explorer - was born on June 5, 1930 in the city of Vladimir, and grew up and studied in the city of Shuya, Ivanovo region.

Nikolai Kornilov’s career began in 1954 after graduating from the Higher Arctic Maritime School named after S.O. Makarov (currently the Maritime Academy) and receiving the specialty of oceanographer engineer. For seven years he worked at the Arctic Research Observatory of the Academy of Sciences in the village of Tiksi in the YASSR on the shores of the Laptev Sea. At the observatory he studied the ice and hydrological regime of the Laptev and East Siberian seas, hydrometeorological services for navigation on the central section of the Northern Sea Route, working as a reconnaissance hydrologist on ice reconnaissance aircraft.

Together with Nikolai Alexandrovich, his wife also worked in Tiksi during these years. Yulia Loginovna was a hydrochemical engineer who sailed on ice patrol ships for five navigations.

Organization of drifting stations in the Arctic

During the years of wintering in the Arctic, N.A. Kornilov acquired extensive knowledge in the field of hydrology of the Arctic seas and the formation of the ice regime. The experience of field research was fully demonstrated during his subsequent numerous expeditions.

In 1961–1962 he headed the North Pole-10 research station, the first drifting station in the history of Arctic exploration, organized in late autumn with the help of the nuclear icebreaker Lenin.

In 1963–1965 and in 1967–1969. he worked as the head of the Molodezhnaya station as part of the 9th and 13th Soviet Antarctic Expeditions (SAE). Upon completion of the latter, he supervised the work of the 14th seasonal SAE, while on board the d/e "Ob".

In 1970, for the excellent performance of tasks in particularly difficult conditions of the Arctic and Antarctic and the courage and heroism displayed, Nikolai Aleksandrovich Kornilov was awarded the title of Hero of Socialist Labor with the Order of Lenin and the Hammer and Sickle gold medal.

Seasonal expeditions in Antarctica

In 1974, after successfully defending his dissertation for the degree of candidate of geographical sciences, he again went to Antarctica as the head of the wintering staff of the 20th SAE.

In 1977, he was appointed deputy director of the ASII for scientific expedition work. He worked in this position until 1994. During this period, he led seasonal expeditions to Antarctica several times. During the season of the 25th SAE (1979–1980) under the leadership of N.A. Kornilov, the seventh Soviet Antarctic station, Russkaya, was opened. In the area of ​​the station. The Youth State Commission, under his chairmanship, accepted into operation a runway created on a snow-ice base, on which on February 13, 1980, an aircraft on an IL-18D wheeled chassis landed. The pilots rated the runway's condition as excellent. For this work N.A. Kornilov was awarded the Order of the October Revolution and the “Excellence in Aeroflot” badge.

His appointment as chairman of the State Commission was not accidental. Working at Molodezhnaya in the 9th, 13th and 20th SAE, he carried out work to create this strip: experimental areas were created where various methods for compacting the snow-ice layer were developed and tested, and calculations of the required thickness of the compacted layer were developed. This method of creating a runway has not been tested anywhere before - neither in the Arctic, nor in the Antarctic, nor in domestic or foreign construction.

In 1986 N.A. Kornilov led an air expedition on an IL-76TD aircraft, which on February 25 safely landed on the same runway as the IL-18D in 1980. Subsequently, these two types of aircraft reliably connected the Antarctic Molodezhnaya station with Moscow and Leningrad by air bridge. It existed until the closure of the Molodezhnaya station.

The world's first drifting research station, Weddell 1, in Antarctica

As deputy director of the institute, N.A. Kornilov led a number of national and international programs related to joint scientific research of our country and foreign countries in the polar regions of the Earth. Thus, in 1992, he led an expedition during which the world's first drifting research station, Weddell 1, was organized in Antarctica, in the Weddell Sea. One of the authors of the project for organizing such a station was N.A. Kornilov. The station operated for four months according to the Russian-American program, observations were carried out by Russian and American scientists.

From 1994 to 2002 N.A. Kornilov worked as the chief specialist in expeditionary research at INTAARI, being the inspirer and direct participant in unique international projects in the Arctic (Ecology of the Tundra-94) and Antarctica (International Aviation Network "DROMLAN").

Currently, Nikolai Aleksandrovich Kornilov performs public work in the Association of Russian Polar Explorers, being its vice-president, as well as in the Council of Veterans of St. Petersburg and the Leningrad Region as deputy chairman of the Committee of Heroes of Socialist Labor.

Born on August 28, 1940 in the Kuibyshev (Samara) region. Father - Kornilov Vasily Ignatievich (1905-1976). Mother - Kornilova Antonina Ermolaevna (1902-1983).

In 1964 he graduated from the Leningrad Pediatric Medical Institute. In 1965, he was sent to clinical residency at the Leningrad Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics named after P.P. Harmful. After successfully completing his residency in 1967, he was elected by competition to the position of junior research fellow at the Department of Reconstructive Surgery at the Leningrad Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics named after P.P. Harmful. In 1975, Nikolai Vasilyevich successfully defended his Ph.D. thesis on the topic “Homoplasty of the flexor tendons of the fingers.” The method he developed for the treatment of patients with injuries to the flexor tendons of the fingers is widely used in practice. In the same year, he was elected to the position of senior researcher in the department, and in 1978 - head of the department of musculoskeletal injuries and their consequences with the experimental and technical group.

In 1984, he defended his doctoral dissertation on the topic “Complex restorative treatment of patients with consequences of combined injuries of tendons and nerves of the forearm and hand.” In September 1986, N.V. Kornilov was appointed director of the Leningrad Research Institute of Traumatology and Orthopedics named after R.R. Vreden and in the same year was elected chairman of the Problem Commission “Traumatology and Orthopedics of Adults” of the UMS of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation.

Since 1987, Nikolai Vasilyevich has been the chairman of the Specialized Council for the Defense of Doctoral and Candidate's Dissertations. Under his leadership, 35 dissertations were defended. In 1989, he was awarded the title of professor in the specialty “traumatology and orthopedics” and at the same time he was appointed chief traumatologist of the Ministry of Health of the RSFSR.

In 1991, Nikolai Vasilyevich Kornilov organized the Republican and City endoprosthetics centers with pilot production. Established serial production of domestic endoprostheses for the hip, knee, shoulder and elbow joints and bone cement.

For the first time in Russia, Nikolai Vasilyevich organized an emergency hip replacement service for patients with fractures of the proximal end of the femur. In the same year, Nikolai Vasilyevich headed the Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics of the St. Petersburg State Medical University named after Academician I.P. Pavlova.

And it forever entered the history of Arctic exploration.

In February 1962, the Molodezhnaya station was opened on the coast of East Antarctica (Enderby Land, coast of the Cosmonaut Sea). For many years it was considered the “capital” of Soviet, and after 1991, Russian polar explorers. During the 9th (1963-1965) and 11th (1967-1969) Soviet Antarctic expeditions, the station chief was N.A. Kornilov. Here he worked on creating a runway on snow and ice. To do this, he organized experimental sites where the method was developed and tested, and made the necessary calculations. At the same time, we note that his idea was absolutely innovative, and the proposed method had not been tested anywhere before: neither in the Arctic, nor in the Antarctic, nor in domestic or foreign construction.

TO Ornilov Nikolay Aleksandrovich - junior researcher at the Arctic and Antarctic Research Institute, Leningrad.

Born on June 5, 1930 in the village of Yamskaya Sloboda, now within the city of Vladimir. Russian. He grew up in the city of Shuya, Ivanovo region, where his father was assigned after graduating from the Moscow Polytechnic Institute. Graduated from secondary school No. 1.

In the same year, he left for the city of Leningrad (now St. Petersburg) and entered the Higher Arctic Naval School named after Admiral S.O. Makarov (now the State Maritime Academy named after Admiral S. O. Makarov). In 1952, while still a student, he began working in the Arctic. After graduating from the institute, he received a specialty as an oceanographic engineer and went to the North. For seven years he worked at the Arctic Research Observatory in the village of Tiksi (Yakutia). Every year he participated in expeditions to study the hydrology and ice regime of the Laptev Sea and Buf-Khaya Bay. The expedition programs, despite very difficult and dangerous situations, were carried out over time in excess of planned targets. During the navigation period, it was in the air for days, providing escort for convoys of ships along the routes of the Northern Sea Route. Upon returning from the expedition, he worked at the Arctic and Antarctic Institute, summarizing the experience of field research.

In 1961, he was appointed head of the drifting research station "North Pole-10".
