K. A. Tatarinov was a multifaceted personality, he made a significant contribution to the development of paleozoology, hunting science, ornithology and teriology in Ukraine. The article describes the main events of the Kremenets period of the scientist's life and work. The described period dates from August 1958 to August 1963. While working in Kremenets, he not only a scientist, but also develops as a manager, starting his career in August 1958 as a senior lecturer at the Department of Zoology Kremenets Pedagogical Institute, after two years - an associate professor, and since February 1961 - head of the specified department.
