Torichan Kravets

	Torichan Kravets Torichan Pavlovich Kravets (russian: Торичан Павлович Кравец; 22 March 1876 – 21 May 1955) was a Russian and Soviet physicist who work on optical physics, geophysics and examined the history of physics. He was briefly exiled to Siberia on charges of being anti-Soviet from 1923 to 1926. He served as a professor at Leningrad. Kravets was born in Volkovo, Bogoroditsky Uyezd, where his father Pavel Naumovich was a physician while his mother Felitsitana Karpovna Shagina was a midwife. He was educated at the Tula Gymnasium and then at Moscow University. He studied under P. N. Lebedev and graduated with a diploma in 1898. He then worked in Lebedev's laboratory on spectroscopy and defended his thesis in 1913. He calculated the refractive index of water for long wavelength electromagnetic waves using total internal reflection. He worked in Kharkiv from 1914 to 1922. On 16 August 1922 he was accused of anti-Soviet activities for taking part in a strike along with othe ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu]

picture info	Physicists From The Russian Empire A physicist is a scientist who specializes in the field of physics, which encompasses the interactions of matter and energy at all length and time scales in the physical universe. Physicists generally are interested in the root or ultimate causes of phenomena, and usually frame their understanding in mathematical terms. Physicists work across a wide range of research fields, spanning all length scales: from sub-atomic and particle physics, through biological physics, to cosmological length scales encompassing the universe as a whole. The field generally includes two types of physicists: experimental physicists who specialize in the observation of natural phenomena and the development and analysis of experiments, and theoretical physicists who specialize in mathematical modeling of physical systems to rationalize, explain and predict natural phenomena. Physicists can apply their knowledge towards solving practical problems or to developing new technologies (also known as applied ...

picture info	Stalin Prize Winners Joseph Vissarionovich Stalin (born Ioseb Besarionis dze Jughashvili; – 5 March 1953) was a Georgian revolutionary and Soviet political leader who led the Soviet Union from 1924 until his death in 1953. He held power as General Secretary of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union (1922–1952) and Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the Soviet Union (1941–1953). Initially governing the country as part of a collective leadership, he consolidated power to become a dictator by the 1930s. Ideologically adhering to the Leninist interpretation of Marxism, he formalised these ideas as Marxism–Leninism, while his own policies are called Stalinism. Born to a poor family in Gori in the Russian Empire (now Georgia), Stalin attended the Tbilisi Spiritual Seminary before joining the Marxist Russian Social Democratic Labour Party. He edited the party's newspaper, ''Pravda'', and raised funds for Vladimir Lenin's Bolshevik faction via robberies, kidnappings and protection r ...

picture info	People From Bogoroditsky Uyezd A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of ...
