inventors and clear up their contribution into 
scientific progress. 
TTaasskkss:: 
1.Clear up who the Russian inventors are. 
2.Know what they invented. 
3. Learn a lot of useful information about 
achievements of our great scientists. 
4.Clear up if their inventions were useful for the 
progress.
IInnvveennttiioonnss 
There are a lot of inventions in the 
world. New inventions appear every 
day to make our lives easier, longer, 
warmer, faster, and so on. 
But only a few inventors design a 
new machine or product that 
becomes so best-known all over the 
world.

When you feel hot, you switch 
on the cooler; when it's too 
dark to see, you switch on the 
light bulb; you can also talk to 
your friend miles away using 
the telephone; you can also fly 
places in a plane and there 
are so many things that you 
can do today because of some 
of the famous inventors and 
their inventions. 
The Russian inventors and 
scientists made the great 
contribution to the development 
of world science. Their names 
are world-known. 
It's almost impossible to 
name the branch of science in 
which the Russian inventors 
haven't played the greatest 
role.
IVAN KULIBIN 
Ivan Kulibin was a Russian 
mechanic and self-educated 
person. He was born in Nizhniy 
Novgorod. From childhood, 
Kulibin displayed an interest in 
constructing mechanical tools. 
Soon, clock mechanisms 
became a special interest of his. 
His realizations as well as his 
prolific imagination inspired the 
work of many. 
1735— 1818
Alexander Fedorovich Mozhaisky 
Mozhaisky was a Russian naval 
officer, aviation pioneer and 
designer of heavier-than-air craft. 
Mozhaisky's airplane was the 1st in 
the world. 
The first flight of that aircraft took 
place in the military camp of 
Krasnoye Selo on the 20th of July, 
1882. It was not allowed for 
Mozhaisky to raise in the sky. 
Because he was already 57. 
1825 -1890
AALLEEXXAANNDDEERR SSTTEEPPAANNOOVVIICCHH PPOOPPOOVV 
A. Popov was a Russian physicist 
who was the first person to 
demonstrate the practical application 
of electromagnetic radio waves. 
Beginning in the early 1890s he 
continued the experiments of other 
radio pioneers, such as Heinrich 
Hertz. 
In 1894 he built his first radio 
receiver, a version of the coherer. 
Further refined as a lightning 
detector, it was presented to the 
Russian Physical and Chemical 
Society on May 7, 1895—the day has 
been celebrated in the Russian 
Federation as Radio Day. 
1859 -1906
Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev 
Dmitri Ivanovich Mendeleev was a 
Russian scientist and inventor. He 
created the first version of the 
periodic table of elements, and 
used it to predict the properties of 
elements yet to be discovered. All 
future discoveries in the field of 
chemistry and physics have been 
based on this law. His discovery 
made it possible to find 38 new 
chemical elements to fill the empty 
spaces left in the Periodic table. 
1834 - 1907
Konstantin Eduardovich Tsiolkovsky 
K. Tsiolkovsky is a rocket 
scientist and a pioneer of 
astronautics. He is 
considered to be one of the 
founding fathers of rocketry 
and astronautics. His works 
later inspired leading Soviet 
rocket engineers such as 
Sergey Korolyov and Valentin 
Glushko and contributed to 
the success of the Soviet 
space program. 
1857 -1935
Sergei Pavlovich Korolyov 
S. Korolyov devoted his life to 
rocket research, constructing 
artificial satellites. He was a 
Rocket engineer and designer, 
“Father” of the space program. 
History changed on October 4, 
1957, when the Soviet Union 
successfully launched Sputnik I. 
The world's first artificial 
satellite was about the size of a 
basketball, weighed only 183 
pounds, and took about 98 
minutes to orbit the Earth on its 
elliptical path. 
1907 - 1966
IIggoorr IIvvaannoovviicchh SSiikkoorrsskkyy 
I. Sikorsky is a helicopter and aircraft 
designer. He was considered to be the 
"father" of helicopters not because he 
invented the first. He was called that 
because he invented the first successful 
helicopter, upon which further designs 
were based. 
He also designed and built the first 
military helicopter, XR-4, which he 
delivered to Colonel Franklin 
Gregory of the U.S. Army. 
1889 - 1972
Vladimir Zworykin 
Vladimir Kosmich Zworykin was 
a Russian-American inventor, 
engineer, and pioneer of 
television technology. Zworykin 
invented a television 
transmitting and receiving 
system employing cathode ray 
tubes. He has been called 
“The Father” of Television. 
1899 -1982

Russian inventors have contributed generously to the 
development of global scientific thought. Many of their 
inventions have literally transformed the world, enabling 
us to enjoy such blessings of civilization as aircraft, cars, 
computers and television. 
Throughout history Russian famous inventors have 
contributed greatly to the world of invention and 
innovation. We should remember their names.
