In memory of Victor I. Mikheev (1912-1956)

Abstract

When studying the scientific works of V. I. Mikheev, one is first of all struck by the exceptional purposefulness and clarity of the main line of his work. This line is a direct continuation and development of the works of his teacher A. K. Boldyrev, and thereby the works of E. S. Boldyrev. С. Fedorov. That is why in our eyes V. I. Mikheev is an outstanding representative of the Fedorov school, the crystallographic-mineralogical school of the Mining Institute. In order to trace the defining features of V. I. Mikheev's creative path, it is necessary to recall some characteristic moments from his biography.
