There is a well-known saying: ”A country can be considered a great power if it has three programs: space, nuclear, and Antarctic.” In 1978, a young mechanic and designer, Nikolai Vasilyev, joined the Antarctic research department at his alma mater, the Leningrad Mining Institute. He certainly expected to make a contribution to the study of the Sixth Continent, but he had no idea what role he would play in this strategically important program.

The scale of the Patriotic War of 1812, according to historians, was ”almost unbelievable.” The military and civilian casualties were staggering to contemporaries and still shock us today.

In the midst of the Civil War, a young scientist from the Mining University, Ivan Bakhurin, along with his mentor Vladimir Bauman, found themselves on the banks of the Ural River at Mount Magnitnaya. They had come to use the magnetometric method of exploration to precisely determine the reserves of local ores, whose wealth had been the stuff of legends for more than a century.

The story of Rem Karpov dates back to a time when Soviet-Cuban friendship was just beginning, and the first Soviet specialists were sent to the revolutionary country to help develop its mineral resources. It was in the early hours of May 2, 1961, at 3 a.m., when a group of Soviet mining experts was greeted at Havana Airport by none other than Ernesto Che Guevara himself.

In February 1938, Dmitry Ivanovich Mushketov was sentenced under Article No. 58 to the highest punishment and executed on the same day. He had been arrested on charges of allegedly “creating a counter-revolutionary terrorist group in 1930 and committing acts of sabotage.” After eight months of imprisonment, a bullet from an NKVD officer ended the life of the distinguished geologist, Doctor of Sciences, and former rector of the Mining Institute (1917-1928).

In the summer of 1989, the deep-sea submersible ”Mir” descended to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean between Spain and the Mid-Atlantic Ridge, with renowned geologist Nikolai Dobrecov on board.

After examining magma frozen in cracks of the rocky crust and taking a few photographs, he was ready to ascend when the submersible commander nervously informed him of a hydraulic control system failure.
