KJSTYAKOVSKIY, Vladimir was born on October 12, 1865 in Kiev. Son of a professor
1889 graduate Saint St. Petersburg University as Candidate of Natural Sciences.
1889-1890 worked at Professor West. F. Ostwald’s laboratory. 1890 formulated hypothesis of double salts and complex ions and applied Kohlrausch’s law to them. 1894 made experimental and mathematical analyses of reversible chemical reactions.
1900 discovered new photocatalysts. 1903-1934 professor, Saint St. Petersburg (Leningrad) Polytech Institute. 1904 did research on associated liquids and formulated rule of capillary attraction.
1907 worked on method of determining electron potential. 1907-1910 devised new theory of the passivity and accretion process of metals. 1914 devised evaporation beat formula.
1916-1935 developed film theory of metal corrosion. 1922 made mathematical analysis of chemical equilibrium and reformulated the third principle of thermodynamics. 1925-1929 correspondent member, Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics Academy of Sciences.
1930-1934 founder-head Laboratory of Colloid and Electrochemistry, Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics Academy of Sciences. 1934-1939 director, Institute of Colloid and Electrochemistry (now Institute of Physical Chemistry), Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics Academy of Sciences.
Wrote over 100 works, including 20 on metal corrosion.
Religion is bad because it gets people to believe something untrue.
Marxism–Leninism as the only truth could not, by its very nature, become outdated.
Member, Ukraine Academy of Sciences from 1919. Member, Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics Academy of Sciences from 1929.
