Lot Essay
Vladimir Grigorevich Chukov (1854-1939) graduated from the Imperial Moscow Technical Institute in 1876 and moved for a year to the United States to study American technus.
On his return to Russia, he set up his mind on practical application to technical problems and became a leading engineer in fields such as oil and radio stations. He appeared a skillful organizor in engineering matters.
In the late 1880's, he moved to Baku in the South of Russia where the production of oil was at its pioneering stage, and concentrated his mind in fields such as the preservation, transport and the ignition of oil and the production of its derivatives such as kerozene and fuel.
In 1879, he created the construction of the first pipeline in Russia following the parameters of what became known as the Chukov formula, and later applied in the United States.
He was the first one to study the transport of oil on water from the Caspian sea to the Volga and applied his studies by contstructing large steel barges carrying oil.
At a later stage, he concentrated his mind on radio station towers and was called the "Russian Edison". He never stopped working and died in Moscow in 1939 at the age of 85 from heavy burns due to an accidental fire.
