Abstract

Purpose

The purpose of the study was to show the outstanding contribution of Elena Alexandrovna Timofeeva-Resovskaya (1898–1973) to the development of radiobiology.

Materials and methods

We reviewed the author's memoirs and materials from the personal archive, as well as literary and electronic sources.

Results and conclusions

For the first time the autobiography of Elena A. Timofeeva-Resovskaya and the periods of her scientific activity were revealed. We demonstrated the primary role of Elena A. Timofeeva-Resovskaya in the research of aquatic ecosystems. The results of her research turned out to be important both for solving the problems of radioactive contamination of territories and for the development of modern radioecology. Throughout her life, she worked with her husband Nikolay V. Timofeev-Resovsky (1900–1981), a great scientist and prominent scientific enlightener. There was no purpose to describe the life of Timofeev-Resovskies family, full of exciting events, but it was not possible to avoid it. For young women in science, Elena A. Timofeeva-Resovskaya can provide an example of a successful scientific career even in turbulent times.

摘要

目的

该研究的目的是展示 Elena Alexandrovna Timofeeva-Resovskaya (1898-1973) 对放射生物学发展的杰出贡献。

材料和方法

我们从个人档案以及文学和电子资源中审查了作者的回忆录和材料。

结果和结论

Elena A. Timofeeva-Resovskaya 的自传和她的科学活动时期首次被披露。我们展示了 Elena A. Timofeeva-Resovskaya 在水生生态系统研究中的主要作用。事实证明，她的研究结果对于解决领土放射性污染问题和现代放射生态学的发展都很重要。在她的一生中，她与伟大的科学家和杰出的科学启蒙者丈夫 Nikolay V. Timofeev-Resovsky (1900-1981) 一起工作。描述 Timofeev-Resovskies 一家的生活毫无意义，充满了激动人心的事件，但又无法避免。对于科学界的年轻女性，即使在动荡的时代，Elena A. Timofeeva-Resovskaya 也可以提供一个成功的科学事业的例子。
