Lyudmila Nikolaevna Vykhodtseva and Yuriy Mikhailovich Maksimov continued at the Dept.
Arkadyi L’vovich Gordon <Аркадий Львович Гордон> was diploma student of B.I. Podlovchenko. Patents with his full name can be found which address wires insulation, mostly based on polymers and accenting thermal stability. This research is affiliated with applied institution specialized in electrical engineering.
Tamara Mikhailovna Dubovikova <Тамара Михайловна Дубовикова> was diploma student of V.N. Korshunov, no information about her further life and work is available.
Naum Aronovich Epshtein <Наум Аронович Эпштейн> worked with B.I. Podlovchenko on electrochemistry of platinum group metals in hydrogen fluoride medium (1973 PhD thesis). Later he became an expert in chromatography in respect to pharmaceutical technologies, and starting from 1990s he worked in various pharma-oriented companies. Affiliation of his last available article (2023) is “Akrikhin” Chemico-Pharmace Joint Co.
Aleksandra Mikhailovna Kalyuzhnaya <Александра Михайловна Калюжная>, after diploma work with N.V. Fedorovich, completed PhD thesis on comparison of “double layer” properties of metals (mercury, indium-gallium alloy) in aqueous and acetonitrile solutions. This thesis defended in 1974 was supervised by I.A. Bagotskaya with participation of N.B. Grigoriev in Frumkin Institute. A.M. Kalyuzhnaya worked in the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology (МФТИ) for certain period, two of her patents on emulsions for technical applications are found.
Viktoriya Isaakovna Levina <Виктория Исааковна Левина> completed her diploma work with B.I. Podlovchenko, and started to work in various pharmacy-related institutions. He active publications start only in 1990s, when N.B. Grigoriev appeared in this community. With his participation, she made a lot of polarographic works on determination of organic substances, and completed her PhD thesis (1997) on the polarography of metal-containing pharmaceutical substances. She continued with synthetic and analytical works in this field, the last publications of 2000s are affiliated with the Center of Antibiotics and the Center for Narcology.
Aleksandr Vladimirovich Losev <Александр Владимирович Лосев> participated in V.V. Topolev’s study of cations adsorption on platinum and rhodium (published in 1971). Then he worked with O.A. Petrii on electrochemistry of suspensions (1975 PhD thesis). Model suspensions were fabricated from platinum and palladium blacks, and were characterized photometrically and by conductivity measurements. Model reaction on suspension electrodes was oxidation of molecular hydrogen. After PhD, he started to work in Yu.M. Povarov’s group in Frumkin Institute, where he studied sulphur dioxide effect on litium behavior in propylene carbonate. Complex family events interrupted his scientific development soon.
Vyacheslav Ivanovich Lushnikov <Вячеслав Иванович Лушников> worked in the lab of Yu.B. Vassiliev in Frumkin Inst for about decade. He published a number of articles on anodic organic reactions, mostly on Kolbe electrosynthesis. We failed to find his thesis, which probably was not completed.
Mikhail Nikolaevich Markovich <Михаил Николаевич Маркович> joined the Research Institute for Biological Testing of Chemical Compounds (НИИ по БИХС) after graduation. It was relatively new institution assuming interdisciplinary work. In 1977, he completed PhD thesis on the interaction of serum albumin with antibiotic molecules. He continued to work on complexation of biological molecules using, in particular, microcalorimetry, as it was possible to judge about binding sites on the external surface of protein molecule in frames of some molecular models. The institute was closed in 1984, and the last available Markovich’s article is published in 1991 jointly with V.N. Izmailova (Dept of colloid Chemistry, Moscow Univ).
Natella Mironovna Savun <Натэлла Мироновна Савун> worked in Frumkin Institute for about decade, with A.G. Pshenichnikov, they studied alcohols dehydration on nickel electrodes. It seems that she left science in 1980s. Her activities related to protection of the old Moscow architecture from novel construction can be noticed in the net.
Marina Aleksandrovna Suranova <Марина Александровна Суранова> completed her PhD thesis at the Dept in 1978, under supervision of O.A. Petrii. They studied the state of hydrogen adatoms on platinum and rhodium, and the kinetics of related electrode processes. Then she joined analytical lab in the Institute of General and Inorganic Chemistry (ИОНХ), using various electroanalytical techniques.
Nina Konstantinovns Zhemchuzhnikova <Нина Константиновна Жемчужникова> worked with V.N. Korshunov. Тo information about her is available.
Two PhD theses were completed by non-graduates:
Tue Van Nguen <Туе Ван Нгуен> was an intern from Vietnam, who completed his thesis on adsorption at iridium electrode under supervision of O.A. Petrii. We do not know what happened with him later.
Alexey Vasilievich Chizhov <Алексей Васильевич Чижов> studied adsorption of aliphatic acids on mercury with B.B. Damaskin. Then he worked in Frumkin Institute with P.D. Lukovtsev, dealing with kinetics of redox reactions in respect to electrochemical signal convertors. We failed to identify his later works (if any) after Lukovtsev’s death.
1971
A record number of graduates (four) was accepted as the Dept staff: Galina Nesterovna Botukhova, Rimma Petrovna Petukhova, Tat’yana Yakovlevna Safonova (nee Kolotyrkina), Liana Nikolayevna Sviridova (nee Borisova). In addition, Emma Ivanovna Mikhailova, non-graduate who completed her PhD thesis, was also accepted.
Yuliya Vladimirovna Batrakova <Юлия Владимировна Батракова> completed her diploma study with V.V. Batrakov, and moved to the Institute of Physical Chemistry for some period. At least two articles with I.L. Rosenfeld were published at the end of 1970s, but we failed to find any PhD thesis and information about her further work.
Inna Petrovna Berdnikova (nee Ryvkina) <Инна Петровна Бердникова (Рывкина)> was supervised by L.N. Nekrasov, her 1975 PhD thesis addressed the reduction of organic nitro compounds using rotating ring-disc electrode. We failed to find her further development, but we cannot exclude that she worked in Obninsk (Moscow region) for some period.
Tat’yana Vladimirovna Zhilkina <Татьяна Владимировна Жилкина> was diploma student of N.V. Fedorovich and studied the effect of organic substances on peroxodisulfate reduction, with participation of O.Yu. Gusakova. There is no information about her further life and work.
Revekka Iosifovna Zusman <Ревекка Иосифовна Зусман> moved to Frumkin Institute for some period after graduation. From a single 1977 article, we can conclude that she participated in the studies of carbon gas-diddusion electrodes. No other publications and thesis were found.
Valentina Nikolaevna Lozovaya <Валентина Николаевна Лозовая> worked with L.N. Nekrasov, no additional information is available.
Aleksandr Nikolaevich Popov <Александр Николаевич Попов> worked with V.V. Batrakov. We know nothing else about him, but let us fix the appearnce of the articles of A.N. Popov from Latvian Institute of Inorganic chemistry (Riga) in the second half of 1970s, and 1979 thesis defended in Riga on the same topic, the interface between aqueous and organic phases of electrolyte solutions. The style and wording of the articles does not contradict usual for Dept. This is, however, very rough hypothesis.
Tat’yana Anatol’evna Severova <Татьяна Анатольевна Северова> worked with B.B. Damaskin and R.V. Ivanova, studying mercury/dimathyl sulfoxide interface (1976 PhD thesis). We found her article with I.L. Rosenfel’d on aluminum corrosion (1980) and much later article affiliated with the Institute of Chemical Physics, it remains unclear whether she worked in research systematically.
Vladimir Vladimirovich Selyevin <Владимир Владимирович Селёвин> worked with V.N. Korshunov and partly with an intern T.B. Khlystova (see below, 1972). During diploma period, he studied thermodynamics of some multicomponent amalgams, and later his 1975 PhD thesis addressed hydrogen evolution on mercury from solutions of magnesium salts. Like T.B. Khlystova, he was later affiliated with Polytechnical Institute on Yaroslavl’ (a large industrial and historical city located at about 250 km from Moscow). They started a series of creative PhD students from Yaroslavl’ Polytech: in 1980s it was continued by Sergey Igorevich Karpov, Vladimir Alexandrovich Kraev (1978 graduate, see below), Irina Abramovna Pankratova, and Vladimir Borisovich Dobrokhotov. Selyevin’s role in supporting this exchange program from Yaroslavl’ side was very important.
1972
Tat’yana Georgievna Stepina (nee Krasnoshchekova) continued at the Dept, Mikhail Davydovich Levi joined Frumkin Institute
Sergey Georgievich Polyakov <Сергей Георгиевич Поляков> (1950-2011) worked with V.V. Batrakov. After graduation and some period in oil-related applied institution (1978 PhD thesis on corrosion of metals protected by the lubricants), he joined a famous Paton Electric Welding Institute in Kiev. He continued with corrosion science during all his life. His 1999 DSc thesis presented electrochemical monitoring in respect to corrosion protection of the welded pipelines.
Ol’ga Konstantinovna Lebedeva (nee Os’kina) <Ольга Константиновна Лебедева (Оськина)> was diploma student of B.B. Damaskin. Jointly with N.S. Polyanovskaya, she studied electrocapillary phenomena in Hg/Tl system in the presence of phenol (published in 1974). Then she moved to Dept of General Chemistry and worked with G.A. Bogdanovskyi. Her 1978 PhD thesis was devoted to adsorption and electrocatalysis on electrodeposited Pd, Rh, and Pd-Rh electrodes. She continued at this Dept, first with traditional Bogdanovskyi’s research, and later with electrchemistry in ionic liquids with L.M. Kustov.
Igor Viktorovich Osipov <Игорь Викторович Осипов> studied polarographic maximums of the third kind with E.V. Stenina and N.V. Fedorovich. His most important results in this field were published in 1975, and his PhD thesis was completed in 1978. He spent some period at the Dept of Chemical Enzymology later, and then concentrated on administrative work in Academy of Sciences, dealing with support of medical biotechnology. Finally he was employed in the Institute of Bioorganic Chemistry as a manager responsible for net organization and purchase of chemicals.
Three PhD theses were defended by non-graduates:
Larbi Ali[o]ua <Ларби Алиуа>, under supervision of B.I. Podlovchenko, completed the study of electrodeposited rhodium, iridium, and their co-deposits with platinum, as affected by deposition mode.
Jürgen Dittrich <Юрген Лотар Диттрих> Адсорбционное и электрохимическое поведение медного электрода и влияние структуры поверхности Pädagogische Hochschule Halle-Köthen (Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-WittenbergThe institution will open in a new tab)
Kseniya Borisovna Khlystova <Ксения Борисовна Хлыстова>, non-graduate, came from Yaroslavl’ Polytechnical Institute, and worked with V.N. Korshunov. Her thesis on the amalgams of alkali and alkali-earth metals, including ternary systems, was defended in her native institute. She also worked on lithium electrodeposition on platinum from LiCl solutions in dimethyl formamide (Elektrokhimiya. 1971. V. 7. P. 1022-1024). We know nothing about her activities after PhD defence.
1973
Aleksander Georgievich Volkov <Александр Георгиевич Волков> worked with V.N. Korshunov, and joined Frumkin Institute after graduation. He started to study the phenomena at the interface of immiscible liquids under supervision of L.I. Boguslavskyi (this topic in the lab of bioelectrochemistry assumed the analogy between such interfaces and biological membranes). His 1982 PhD work addressed redox reactions at these interfaces. He left for US in 1990s, and served as professor of Oakwood University starting from 2000s. A lot of his activities in US were related to plants electrophysiology. He published and edited about a dozen of monographs.
Lyudmila Mikhailovna Gerasimovich <Lyudmila Mikhailovna Gerasimovich> studied indium amalgams with V.N. Korshunov. No iformation about her further life and work.
Olga Vassilievna Kiselyeva <Ольга Васильевна Киселева> worked with B.B. Damaskin and R.I. Kaganovich on the comparison of ethers adsorption at air/solution and mercury/solution interfaces. There is no additional information about her.
We failed to find what happened with Nataliya Khudyshkina <Наталия Худышкина> mentioned in 1973 Dept records as Petrii’s diploma student.
Two PhD theses were completed by foreign interns, whose further activities require further search:
Lyong Kam Fan <Лыонг Кам Фан> defended PhD thesis on pH and hydrogen sulfide effects on the action of iron corrosion inhibitors, under supervision of Z.A. Iofa.
Suan Nguen <Суан Нгуэн> worked with L.N. Nekrasov, and his thesis addressed the reduction of aromatic carbonyl compounds on various metals.
1974
Irina Ivanovna Buraya <Ирина Ивановна Бурая> was diploma student of N.V. Fedorovich and studied polarographic maximums of the third kind. We have no information about her further life and activities.
Mikhail Markovich Kats <Михаил Маркович Кац> spent some period in the Research Institute for Biological Testing of Chemical Compounds (НИИ по БИХС), where he completed his 1979 PhD thesis on bilipid membranes in the context of screening of biologically active compounds. He continued in the same institute for some period, dealing with pharmacy-related problem of binding of some types of molecules, but the institute was destroyed soon, in mid 1980s. We cannot exclude that he moved to the Institute of Chemical Physics, like some other staff members. There is a series of publications of M.M. Kats (probably namesake) with G.B. Shul’pin on molecular photocatalysis affiliated with the latter institute. Nothing was published after 1991.
Viktor Vasilievich Shalaginov <Виктор Васильевич Шалагинов> was diploma student of V.V. Batrakov, who joined Karpov Institute after graduation and spent more than ten years studying oxides as electrode materials for anodic processes with D.M. Shub. One can find a dozen of articles, mostly on Co3O4-based materials, but there is no thesis. We have no information for the period after 1988, when publications stopped.
Viktor Aleksandrovich Shrey[i]der <Виктор Александрович Шрейдер>
1975
Sergey Vasilievich Dmitrienko <Сергей Васильевич Дмитриенко> was supervised by Z.A. Iofa, and later worked in Karpov Inst with V.V. Losev and A.I. Molodov. He completed PhD thesis on the steps of active metal dissolution in 1986, no further research activities are noticed at this stage.
Ivan Gavriilovich Khomchenko <Иван Гавриилович Хомченко> (1953-2013) 1979 платины и палладия в ацетонитрильных растворахEkomet in 1993
Gennady Mikhailovich Rott <Геннадий Михайлович Ротт> worked with B.B. Damaskin and S.L. Dyatkina. His diploma study of thiourea and butyl alcohol co-adsorption on mercury was published in Elektrokhimiya. 1977. V. 13. P. 957-963. He was then employed by the Institute of Medical Radiology in Obninsk (Kaluga region, not very far from Moscow) and started to work as protein chemist/molecular biologist (1983 PhD on chemical modification of proteins conformations). He left the institute, presumably, in the beginning of 1990s, but thr residual publications appeared in 1994 and 1998. His name can be found at various web pages in respect to some small biochemical business.
The following PhD theses were defended by non-graduates:
Aleksandrs Vosekalns <Александр Владимирович Восекалнс> was 1971 graduate of the University of Latvia, who became PhD student of B.B. Damaskin, and studied ethers adsorption on air/solution and mercury/solution interfaces with participation of R.I. Kaganovich. Later he worked on manganese oxide topics with Gunārs Slaidiņš (1934-1980) before his untimely death, and continued with this topic later (producing more patents than publications).

Lomonosova Maskavas Valsts universitātē. Pielīdzināts Latvijas Dr. ķīm. grādam 1991. gadā.
1976
Irina Vladimirovna Boguslavskaya <Ирина Владимировна Богуславская> was diploma student of B.I. Podlovchenko, and studied platinum deposition on tantalum. After graduation, she joined the team of G.N. Mansurov in Moscow Regional Pedagogical Institutey (МОПИ) and became involved in the studies of electrochemistry of thin metallic films. Specifically, she stadied chromium thin films (her 1982 PhD thesis). It looks like she stopped with research after PhD defence, but continued to work in the same institute.
Aleksander Petrovich Korotkov <Александр Петрович Коротков> worked with L.N. Nekrasov, they studied the reduction of some aromatic and unsaturated organic compounds. After defending PhD (1981), he completed a numver of adsorption studies with B.B. Damaskin. He was assumed to join Frumkin Institute, but no articles of him affiliated with this place were found.
Yuriy Vyacheslavovich Mikhaylik <Юрий Вячеславович Михайлик> worked under supervision of B.B. Damaskin. During diploma period, he studied hydrogen evolution on various liquid electrodes, and his 1980 PhD thesis addressed the adsorption of substituted phosphonium salts on mercury. Then he returned tohis native country Ukraine, and worked in Kiev, dealing with various lithium primary and rechargeable batteries. Later he left for USA and became Technical Fellow and Senior Director of Materials Development at Sion Power corporation. He authored many dozens of patents related to lithium power sources
Fuat Miralievich Rafikov <Фуат Миралиевич Рафиков> studied magnium amalgam decomposition in alcohol solutions with V.N. Korshunov. After graduation he worked in the Institute of Organic Chemistry for several years, and completed at least five articles on polarography of organic compounds with V.A. Petrosyan, but we failed to find any thesis, as well as any data concerning his further activities.
Aleksey Vladimirovich Ushmayev <Алексей Владимирович Ушмаев> worked with O.A. Petrii, and
L.I. Sinegina <Л.И. Синегина> is also mentioned in 1976 Dept records. Her diploma study was devoted to the effect of condensed layers of organic adsorbates on kinetics of electrode reactions. This work was co-supervised by E.V. Syenina, N.V. Fedorovich, and Yu.M. Loshkarev (he could be interested in this topic in relation to his studies of surfactants effect on electrodeposition). We cannot exclude that she originated from Dnipro (the former Dnepropetrovsk, Ukraine), or planned to work with Loshkarev in Dnipro after graduation. However, we failed to find any further publications.
1977
Elena Nikolaevna Protskaya
Elena Yanovna Udris <Елена Яновна Удрис> worked with V.N. Korshunov on electrochemistry of the amalgams of rare earth metals and magnium (1980 PhD thesis). Then she joined Moscow Power Engineering Institute (МЭИ) and became widely known teacher of chemistry and physical chemistry. She published numerous teaching materials and worked out the techniques of on-line teaching as well. In parallel, she participated in research related to applied electrolysis, first with N.V. Korovin, and later with his successors in the centrum of hydrogen technologies existing in her institute.
1978
1979
For the following graduates of 1970s, information seems to be uncertain
Valeryi Atrashkevich <Валерий Атрашкевич> is mentioned in 1970 records. We are afraid that this is complete misunderstanding. A person with such a name, Valeryi Vasilievich Atrashkevich, was 1972 graduate of the Dept of Crystallography at Geological faculty, and worked during all his life in the Institute of geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry (ГЕОХИ) dealing with neutron-activation analysis.
At this stage, we failed to identify one person from 1970s Dept records, N.N. Gurinovich (initials are known from the article on barium and calcium adsorption on platinum from alkaline solutions, published with S.Ya. vasina and O.A. Petrii in Elektrokhimiya. 1977. V. 13. P. 1157-1161). This was most probably an intern from Belarus, and PhD thesis (if any) was defended in Belarus as well. Very tentively, it could be Natalya Nikolaevna Gurinovich, who later worked in some academic institute in Minsk.
