Department of the Russian Academy of Sciences, and from 1965 to 1973, he served
as its Deputy Director. In 1973 he was named Head of a laboratory at the
Hydrodynamics Institute. The institute performs theoretical and experimental
research in the mechanics of fluids, gases, and plasma. His works are in the
detonation of gases, high-Head pulsed and continuous jets, pulse hydraulic drives
and their uses in breaking rocks, percussion drilling, and metal-working. From
1963 to 1973, he was a professor holding the chair in explosive processes at the
