Professor Boris Ivanovich Bokiy, his life, engineering and scientific-pedagogical activity (on the twenty-fifth anniversary of his death)
Abstract
Honored Professor of the Leningrad Mining Institute, a major scientist and engineer, the founder of a new direction in mining science, Boris Ivanovich Bokiy was born on July 23, 1873. In 1890, he entered the St. Petersburg Mining Institute, where he graduated with first class honors in 1895. All of B. I. Bokiy's activities were aimed at resolving the main and most pressing issues of the mining industry. The activities of Professor B. I. Bokiy can be conditionally divided into two periods. The first 12 years (1895-1906) he worked mainly in production - in the Donets Basin. From 1906 until the day of his death (March 13, 1927) - at the Leningrad Mining Institute, where he was invited by the Institute Council to head the Department of Mining Art. As the list of his works shows, Professor B. I. Bokiy strove to resolve the most pressing problems of the coal industry. This is also characteristic of the works written in the same period of review articles (see article).
