Early life
Tchudinov was born on October 18, 1925 in the countryside of Yugo-Camsky of Perm region in the family of village intellectuals. His mother, Maria Alekseevna Tchudinova (1882-1964), was a math teacher in the secondary school. His father, Konstantin Gavrilovich Tchudinov (1877-1938), was an accountant assistant at the plant. That couple brought up four sons: Sergey Konstantinovich (1912-2007), Vasily Konstantinovich (1918-1993), Petr Konstantinovich (1922-2002), Nickolay Konstantinovich (1925-1988). Konstantin Gavrilovich Tchudinov was arrested because of the mean denunciation and later perished. In 1942 his younger son Nickolay externally finished the school.
After graduating a short course he was directed to the battle-front as a gunner-telegraphist to the tank 34 crew. He took part in the liberation of Minsk and capturing of Kenigsberg. He was wounded for three times and got a heavy contusion during the battles in the Eastern Prussia. Nickolay Konstantinovich was rewarded with “Red Star” order, “Patriotic War” order of the first degree, “For the Bravery” medal, “For the victory over Germany” medal. In 1949 he was demobilized from the army. Then he graduated from the Perm State University and got a specialization of “geochemist-petrograf”.
Career
Nickolay Konstantinovich worked as a geologist, a teacher of the mining and chemical college, the senior engineer-explorer. He graduated from the postgraduate course of the Geology and Geochemistry Institute of UFAN AN SSSR (1961-1965). During the period of 1961-1985 he worked as the senior engineer-explorer in the laboratory of ancient organism investigation. Tchudinov was gifted with inquisitive mind of the scientist and high capacity for work.
He became interested in the peculiarities of salts colouring in the ancient Perm Sea. He was not satisfied with the existing theory which explained the salts colouring by the presence of ferrous oxides. Having solved the sample of the salt in water he saw (by means of the microscope) a large number of microbe types growing there. From the first sight that didn’t seem surprising because the microbes were present everywhere in the environment. Nickolay Konstantinovich constructed the unit where modern microbes were destroyed but microbes incarcerated into the crystal more than 250 million years ago revived and continued their development!
In 1970 the senior producer of film studio “Леннаучфильм” (Lennauchfilm), Tamara Ivanovna Iovleva, and a group of qualified like-minded persons made a film about Nickolay Konstantinovich’ discovery –“Prisoners of the Perm Sea”. Nickolay Konstantinovich is the author of more than 30 scientific works and articles concerning microbiology, theory of origin of oil, gas, coal, rocksalt deposits. He developed the methods of dangerous regions determination for mining of natural resources.
During the last years of his life, being seriously ill, the scientist was busy with the basic principles of triad logic. On May 30, 1988 Nickolay Konstantinovich Tchudinov died.
