1960
Aleksandr Moiseyevich Bograchev <Александр Моисеевич Бограчев> (1937-2025) completed his diploma and PhD (1970) theses in the Institute of Electrochemistry. His research topic was chemosorption and oxidation of propane on platinum. Later he worked in Niitekhim (НИИТЭХИМ), institution responsible for collecting and generalization of scientific information for the industry. He was mostly dealing with information on corrosion and metal protection.
Kaleriya Mikhailovna Petropavlovskaya <Калерия Михайловна Петропавловская> worked in All-Union Institute of the reinforced concrete products and (ВНИИЖБ).
1961
Svetlana Semenovna Beskorovaynaya <Светлана Семеновна Бескоровайная> completed her diploma thesis on [Cu(P2O7)2]6- anion reduction under supervision of N.V. Fedorovich and A.N. Frumkin, and obtained PhD from the Institute of Electrochemistry in 1966 for her studies of aliphatic alcohols adsorption and oxidation on platinum (she worked with Yu. B. Vassiliev and V.S. Bagotsky). Later she was employed in the Institute of Aviation Materials (ВИАМ).
Valentina Aleksandrovna Mikhailova (nee Kabardina) <Валентина Александровна Михайлова (Кабардина)> was supervised by A.I. Fedorova, and worked in the Institute of Electrocarbon (ВНИИЭИ) after graduation.
Boris Ivanovich Podlovchenko <Борис Иванович Подловченко>
Elena Vital’evna Stenina (nee Yakovleva) <Елена Витальевна Стенина (Яковлева)> completed her diploma on the effect of cations on oxygen reduction under supervision of R.I. Kaganovich and A.N. Frumkin. Her PhD thesis on anions electroreduction (1967) was supervised by N.V. Fedorovich. In 1986, she defended DSc thesis on 2D condensation of organic molecules at the electrode/solution interface. One of manifestations of this unique phenomenon is the appearance of polarographic maximums of the third kind, she co-authored 7 articles with A.N. Frumkin on this topic.
Oleg Stepanovich Zhdamarov <Олег Степанович Ждамаров> was a student of Z.A. Iofa. After graduation, he worked in Research Institute of Organic Semiproducts and Dyes (НИОПиК). He completed his PhD in this institute in 1971, dealing with electrochemistry of anthraquinone derivatives. He continued with this type of reactants later, in respect to electrochromic and electroanalytical topics.
1962
Vera Moiseevna (Mikhailovna) Gerovich <Вера Моисеевна (Михайловна) Герович> is imaged near the tube of optical device used for precise determination of the position of mercury meniscus during electrocapillary measurements. This was her favorite type of measurements for the studies of organic molecules adsorption in diploma and PhD (1969) theses, and later. She was also dealing with comparative experiments on adsorption on solution/air interface, continuing the work of her father M.A. Gerovich. She was supervised by R.I. Kaganovich, A.N. Frumkin, and later by B.B. Damaskin. When Vera M. left for Israel in 1990s, she worked for some period as applied electrochemist.
Anna Petrovna P’yankova <Анна Петровна Пьянкова> was diploma student of Z.A. Iofa. Then she was a member of non-permanent staff at the Dept for some period,
1963
Galina Borisovna Magnitskaya <Галина Борисовна Магницкая> was diploma student of L.N. Nekrasov, studying the effect of temperature and electrolyte concentration on diffusion coefficient of molecular hydrogen. After few years in Electrocarbon Institute she continued in the institute providing technical and economical information for oil industry. She learned Japanese, and her main activities were translations of the technical literature from English and Japanese. She also served as an editor of specialized literature on oil refining and oil products.
Margarita Kirillovna Vassilieva <Маргарита Кирилловна Васильева> was diploma student of Z.A. Iofa, no additional information at this stage.
1964
Yunona Aleksandrovna Batrakova (nee Kotlyar) <Юнона Александровна Батракова (Котляр)> (1938-2019) was supervised by Z.A. Iofa and worked on iron dissolution. Her PhD thesis (1970, co-supervised by V.V. Batrakov) addressed microstructural effects on iron electrochemistry and related adsorption phenomena. Later she was affiliated with Geological Faculty of Moscow Univ, and participated in the studies of chemical deposition/dissolution processes with participation of minerals. In 1985, jointly with M.S. Sakharova, she published a book on application of electrochemical techniques in the studies of natural mineral formation.
1968
PhD: Alina Mikhailovna Kossaya (nee Tsibulevskaya) <Алина Михайловна Коссая (Цибулевская)> was supervised by Yu.M. Tyrin and O.A. Petrii, and studied adsorption on rhodium electrode. She became co-author of Frumkin’s 1968 article. From available publications and patents (the latest are dated 1991), we know that she worked for a short time on ion-exchange membranes (presumably, in Obninsk sub-division of the Karpov Inst), and later moved to more applied place (п/я 8796) deling with purification of industrial gases.
For the following graduates of 1950s, graduation year is still not identified.
T.A. Nesterenko <Т.А. Нестеренко>, graduate of Z.A. Iofa, who co-authored conference article at 14th CITCE Meeting (1963) on the effect of anions on corrosion inhibitors.
