1900 graduate Moscow Survey Institute.
1907-1917 instructor, from 1917 professor, 1919-1921 rector, Moscow Survey Institute, on the basis of which he established the Moscow Institute of Geodetic, Aerial Survey and Cartographic Engineer. 1928 co-founder, Moscow Research Institute of Geodesy and Cartography (now Ccntr Institute of Geodesy, Aerial Survey and Cartography). 1928 developed schem for the introduction of a unionwide geodetic reference grid system and demonstrated the necessity of expanding it into an astronomical-geodetic grid system.
Devised one of the best methods of coordinating the astronomical-geodetic grid and elaborated the principles of processing triangulation figures. The triangulation, gravimetric and astronomical data which he coordinated made it possible to determine the shape of the Earth on new sci principles (Krasovskiy's ellipsoid). Foundation new approaches to the sci problems of geodesy and gravimetry on the basis of geophysical and geological principles.
Trained a large number of geodesists.
Religion is always aggressive against any new scientific ideas.
Marxism–Leninism as the only truth could not, by its very nature, become outdated.
