ИСТОКИ РАЗВИТИЯ АГРОИНЖЕНЕРНОЙ НАУКИ В РОССИИ

Abstract

The paper is devoted to the study of new materials on the origins of the development of agroengineering science in Russia, stored in the collections of the Museum of Agricultural Mechanics named after V.P. Goryachkin RGAU - MSHA named after K.A. Timiryazev. (Research purpose) The research purpose is analyzing the development of agroengineering science in Russia in the initial periods of its formation. (Materials and methods) It was noted that the newly opened documents more fully cover the key role of V.P. Goryachkin in the creation of the Faculty of Agricultural Mechanics at the Agricultural Academy named after K.A. Timiryazev, in the construction of a machine testing station, in the formation of advanced training courses for teachers in the field of agricultural engineering. We studied the materials of the commission chaired by Professor V.P. Bushinsky, created to draw up projects and estimates for the construction of the Moscow Institute of Mechanization and Electrification of Agriculture in 1930 (now the Institute of Mechanics and Power Engineering named after V.P. Goryachkin as part of the RGAU - MSHA named after K.A. Timiryazev). Documents relating to the opening of the All-Union Institute of Agricultural Engineering in 1928 were put into scientific circulation, in particular, the transcript of V.P. Goryachkin's report at the meeting of the Institute of Agricultural Mechanics, renamed VISKHOM, on November 25, 1927. (Results and discussion) They showed various forms of pedagogical work that appeared as a result of the decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR "On agricultural engineering" dated April 1, 2021. (Conclusions) By the beginning of the 1930s in the USSR, V.P. Goryachkin, an outstanding scientist and organizer of science and education, laid the foundations of domestic agricultural engineering; for the first time put forward scientific principles for the design, calculation and construction of agricultural machinery and tools; developed a test methodology; created a number of unique devices and apparatus.
