Victor-Andrey was born on March 18, 1920, in Saint Petersburg, Russian Federation. The mother: Tatyana Fedorovna Borovik-Romanova. The father: Stanislav Antonovich Borovik.
He graduated in 1947 from the physics department of the Moscow state university of Lomonosow at the department of physics of low temperatures. Research interests: low-temperature physics, low-temperature magnetism, antiferromagnetism, property of quantum liquids and crystals.
Conducted a series of studies of the dynamic properties of weak ferromagnets. Calculated the spectrum of antiferromagnetic resonance and the law of dispersion of spin waves for this class of substances. Predicted the existence of two branches in the energy spectrum of spin waves. Discovered antiferromagnetic resonance and studied its spectrum, opened parametric generation of spin waves, found an inelastic scattering of light on thermal and parametrically excited spin waves and phonons. At the end of the 70-s. he led the construction of the first in the Soviet Union cryostat nuclear demagnetization to obtain ultra-low temperatures and moved to the study of ultrafine 3ne. Got the results that clarified many of the mysteries of the spin dynamics of superfluid phases of 3He and led to the experimental discovery of a new phenomenon — magnetic superfluidity. Experimentally found spin analogs of phenomena characteristic of superconductors and super-fluid.
He studied nuclear magnetic resonance in quasi-one-dimensional antiferromagnets and obtained important results on suppression of quantum spin fluctuations by the magnetic field. The author of the discovery (1959) of piezomagnetism (magnetization of antiferromagnets arising under external pressure due to elastic deformation of their crystal lattice). Generalized spin wave theory to the case of weak ferromagnetism. Since 1972, member of the Bureau of the Department of General physics and astronomy (1996-1997), Deputy academician-Secret.
