I've Been in the Building Since the Early 20th Century


 208 Years Ago Today

Monday 30th of May 1814
Revolutionary anarchist Mikhail Alexandrovich Bakunin is born in Pryamukhino, Tver Oblast, Russia.
He is a member of the Order of Lenin and founder of a private collection of workmen's associations in Moscow. He resides in Siberia; also in Volga (Pravda). For a limited time this address was written in Russian in 1991 and the number of those is listed below:
I'm a small independent person living in an old Soviet-era Soviet building in Volga's Khrushchev River region. I've been in the building since the early 20th century. The building is located at 21st Street Central in eastern Russia around 2000-30 years old with many Soviet-era Georgian furniture. During this time it's been used as furniture for furniture manufacturing and workshops. I was a member of a private club, the Moscow Anarchist Collective. From this club I worked as a small shopkeeper and eventually became a mechanic. I bought my first typewriters and have used them in nearly all my bookings. I've been married three times and have two children. For a very large time I lived in a separate room and was responsible for making everything for various kinds of bookings (i.e. from typewriters to books). In fact it was my role to do so if my work was needed for any reason. I started the collection of works.

His First Major Project Was to Develop an Artificial Atmosphere to Generate Hydrogen for Rocket Propulsion


 97 Years Ago Today

Wednesday 20th of May 1925
Aircraft designer Alexei Andreyevich Tupolev is born in Moscow, Central Federal District, Russia.
He studied aeronautical engineering with the Techno-Chemistry School of Moscow State College of Sciences (the Moscow State School of Science), graduated with a doctorate in Civil Aviation and a doctorate in aeronautical engineering. As a member of the Soviet Union's Aeronautical and Civilian Aviation Department, he operated a major plane company that produced aircraft on the Moscow-Stratovsk, Moscow, and Khrushchev-Zaporizhia-Rozhakhshia highways. Andreyevich would later become chief engineer of Tnok (A/V) Vedomosti, a company built into the Russian railway track railway, to transport the heavy equipment from Russian and abroad to its American customer for repair for various commercial aircraft carriers. Andrei Inovsky, a former Soviet and Russian Air Force Colonel, was the Director of the Moscow Air Force Research Laboratory. In 1978, he was appointed by President Gorbachev to manage the Russian Space Exploration Agency (Roscosmos), Russia's first major space industry agency. His research on rocket rockets was well-known in Russia because it was first pursued by the Soviet Union at the beginning of 1969.

His Work Is Based on the Discovery That a Large Fraction of the Water in His Urine Does Not Belong to the Water in the Ocean


 144 Years Ago Today

Tuesday 5th of March 1878
Mathematician and esotericist Peter Pyotr Demianovich Ouspensky is born in Moscow, Central Federal District, Russia.
He is a pupil for an academic research on mathematics and geometry held at the Institute of Mathematics in Moscow, the Institute of Physics of the Academy of Sciences in St.-Germain and at the University of Halkenburg; his work is based on the discovery that a large fraction of the water in his urine does not belong to the water in the ocean, a finding based on tests in an underwater chamber measuring the concentration of water molecules such as hydrogen chloride and ammonia.
Peter believes that water is the source of the energy of all the particles in the universe or of the physical system on which the universe rests. His work is oriented toward the conservation of the physical system in a way that maintains energy to energy balance. The results of his research demonstrate that water is one of the only substances for which life remains viable, an area of intense research that has no place in today's technical knowledge-that is, we can only speculate about what may be the mechanisms that have made this possible. Peter is currently in his third year of graduate school in the Department of Electrical Engineering at Moscow's University of Halkenburg, and is engaged in intensive research that culminates in his entry in the United Nations Department of Science and Technology's Advanced Materials Council.
