Топик: Биография Д.И. Менделеева

How many up to him{it} all variety of elements which have created the surprising world around of the person and which make his{its} most essence tried to result chemists in system...

How many people have staked for the sake of it the life. Many understood, felt, that there should be such system - the law of the nature, aspired to open it{him} is and it is vain. It{he} has constructed its{her} one - periodic system of elements. System of elements of D.I.Mendeleyev.

It was the mighty person, because made him{it} under force only to the giant. How it was possible to it{him}? Due to what? Due to the of improbable force to talent, due to a fortress of spirit, due to confidence that business of it{him} is necessary.

It{He} has appeared in Petersburg silently and imperceptibly, having overcome on horses a long way from sleepy Tobolsk where it{he} was born, up to noisy, talkative Moscow and magnificent city on Neva. And how in unfamiliar big city this blue-eyed young man who is not having neither notable relationship, nor rich parents differently could appear? Father of it{him} was director of the Tobolsk grammar school - a post not the god a message what profitable, and small glass which basically and began to feed family after father, go blind, has been compelled to leave teaching, too did not bring the big income. And nevertheless, when it{he} , it was the big impact for Mendeleev. After all fourteen souls of one children...

Mitia was younger and, similar, the most favourite. In the childhood it{he} possessed not too a sound health, and in damp Petersburg air and at all to feel began itself unimportantly. Sometimes he{it} a throat had blood, and doctors believed, that at him{it} last degree of a consumption began. It{he} laid in clinic of pedagogical institute where it{he} studied, when once during detour the main doctor, thinking, that Mendeleyev has fallen asleep, has told to director: <Well this will not rise any more...> And <this>, having heard the verdict, sat on beds, has got writing-books and has there and then plunged into records with lectures.

Institute friends have managed to arrange for Mendeleyev an audience at court physician Zdekauera, and that, having heard it{him}, has delicately advised to go on the south. To tell the truth, Zdecauer has given still advice - seem simply so, just in case Piragavim.

And in Crimea at this time there was a war, and Pies, having rolled up sleeves, operated since early morning and till the late evening. For days - tens amputations. Mendeleyev many times saw it{him} from apart, but all did not dare to approach to it{him}. Pies was more necessary.

Mendeleyev also could not think, that a kind of Simferopol, city, in general, enough removed from a front line, can make on him{it} such heavy impression. Restaurants worked, no, hospitals was a little, and around of city tents with a red cross have crowded. And everywhere ...

Mendeleyev here knew nobody. Pies seem inaccessible. And the graduate of the capital institute who has arrived on consultation to find to itself put here, certainly, could not. And it{he} writes to the brother in the letter: <the South which so attracts you, this south, believe, it is good only in the north, yes two - three months in one year, and that let it pass...>

But at last Mendeleyev before Проговым. The great doctor with unexpected attentiveness examines so strange here the patient and... Grants to it{him} a life! Mendeleyev has for ever remembered that has told to it{him} of Pies: <Нате to you, , the letter of yours . Save up it{him}, yes sometime to it{him} and return. And from me bow transfer. You will go through both of us>.

The inspired Mendeleyev is born{carried} to Odessa. With it{him} only that on it{him}, yes is a little money, but all so is good, ahead has put - tempting and interesting so much, now it is necessary to hasten, because time lost in burdensome expectation, to not return any more.

To Odessa at Mendeleyev a direction. It{he} has received there a place of the teacher of natural sciences, from him{it} there the small laboratory, the first laboratory, and there and then, near at hand - excellent library.

Here, in southern seaside city, it{he} starts to search <for the reason of chemical affinity> - of what thought already for a long time and to that it{he} will devote all life.

Half-year in Odessa, and Mendeleyev again in Petersburg. It{he} has arrived not with empty hands: work which it{he} has brought - the most thin and most laborious research on specific volumes. It actually his{its} dissertation. She{it} gives it{him} the first scientific degree of the master. The master of physics and chemistry. To Mendeleyev it was executed then only twenty two years.

It was his{its} first big victory. But a victory, which pleasure has saddened to mountain: favourite sister who has arrived together with it{him} from Tobolsk has died. And now it{he} has remained in Petersburg one. Sometimes it{him} pulls home - look on native places, to meet relatives, but this dream even long decades will be dream. And only on a slope of years, already world famous scientist, coming back from expedition{dispatch}, it{he} will make a hook to see Tobolsk. It will be short returning, but full of disappointments.

And in October of the same year when it{he} became the master. Mendeleyev has struck all friends: it{he} has protected the second dissertation. Of course - a case ! Scientists have not without hesitation accepted Mendeleyev's second work though it and was the serious contribution to chemistry . But too all this was unusual...

And then young Mendeleyev on the post carriage which was rolled quickly with the four of horses, goes in the first business trip - through Warsaw - further, to the well-known Heidelberg, in laboratory of the patriarch .

Mendeleyev trusted, that the days which have been lead{which have been carried out} to laboratories of the Heidelberg university, near to the glorified chemist, to it{him} will be useful, but it{he} was mistaken. Bunzer, borrowed{occupied} with the experiences, has met the young Russian colleague politely, but it is constrained. And in laboratory where to Mendeleyev have allocated a place, there was all as it is impossible more inconsistently: in narrowness students crowded, there was no utensils, reactants. Mendeleyev has immediately understood, that here it{he} only will waste time. With a kind of the deepest regret has told Bunzeru, that it{he} is unhealthy, has thanked for so hospitable hospitality and has there and then moved down from a university apartment. And soon again in a way. This time - to Paris, to Celerony - to that Caleroni, better which nobody could do{make} chemical devices and tools. Most exact of all exact weights because others did not suit his{its} work were necessary for Mendeleyev.

It{He} has returned to Heidelberg where has removed{has taken off} tiny under laboratory and where it{he} was waited already with the concerned letter of the trustee of the Petersburg educational district - it is visible, messages on trick with have reached.

Mendeleyev has answered: <the Main subject of my employmentis physical chemistry>.

It did not hasten home - and not because did not wish to see the city, already for a long time becoming to it{him} native. It{he} did not hasten because in Heidelberg to it{him} was well worked, it{he} felt like free, independent. And consequently still, that here it{he} has found new friends.

Ivan Setchenov, Alexander Borodin, Dmitry Mendeleyev - they were then are young, their names did not sound yet so loudly, but each of them was already known for the works. All three excitedly were engaged in chemistry. Mendeleyev tried to comprehend essence of the phenomena occuring at a level considerably more thin, rather than molecular, and has opened temperature of absolute boiling. Setchenov has penetrated into chemistry of gas exchange in living tissues, and the author of <Prince Igor> with ecstasy pottered with test tubes and flasks and by then was the author of several large printed works in chemistry.

To Troy great Russian. Small <mighty >. They worked not hands, and in the evenings converged for is expected, shared everything, that has collected for a day. Hardly later, when to them has joined Methnicov, they swore, that if from them in a life it will be difficult for somebody, everyone will gather to come to the aid. They have constrained this oath.

... And in Heidelberg they had happy time. In work all was got on - and consequently the mood was fine, and they had a rest too selflessly. frequently sat down a grand piano, and that all time went in the next small town to listen to the well-known body.

Together with Borodinym Mendeleyev quite often went to mountains. That them attracted... Unless it is possible to tell about it? They liked to go upwards on difficult road, clinging for stones, sometimes in a dirty and in a snow. And without it in a life something lacked. As well Dmitry Ivanovich itself has written about it - to the girlfriend of sister Olga, the future wife. As it{him} pulled then to and as much later it{he} will be ready to give everything, everything if only to leave it{her}. As well it{he} has written to it{her}: <you will not forget this minute, will be glad ten versts to climb, once again to test the same. And why? I to you shall not tell. I shall tell because I do not want, no, itself I do not know and I can not invent...>

Friends united not only predilection for chemistry - they were in many respects similar - with identical passion were given work, and by something, with a head were immersed in new business. It was to tell the truth, shown at them differently. Mendeleyev all was given passion and did not cool down, while in it{him} the spark decayed even. It{he} did not undertake something another, was not convinced yet that here it{he} has learned{has found out} and has taken all. It{he} was sincerely pleased the affinity with as counted his{its} unusually talented person and thanked destiny that she{it} has reduced them.

And was similar to noisy, sparkling fireworks which it{he} is skilful to prepare and prepared always , with love. It{he} perfectly painted in oils and drew, is skilful to mould and engrave - not speaking that it{he} played on many tools, - was the chemist and the composer. And how to know, whether from this friendship with went then hobby for art. Probably, all the same many-sided nature - it really inevitable display of the big talent. The person, great really, probably, cannot enclose all force and all talent in one channel. A life, as if being afraid to lose invaluable particles of human talent, does not allow it{him} to make it.

And in Petersburg Mendeleyev suddenly feels sharp pleasure of returning. It{he} has understood, that all years missed this city. Now it{he} not one here: sister Olga has returned. Together with the husband decembrist Basarginym she{it} was in the long Siberian reference. Here, in its{her} house, Mendeleyev even more often meets with - she{it} is pleasant to it{him}, but it{he} badly knows women and is not confident that is necessary to follow advice{council} of the sister and to marry. It{he} wants to find out - whether they can with understand each other, but every time perplexed stops: no, it is visible, has not stuck to hasten, hurry destiny. Let all develops how is, without any efforts.

It{He} trusts, that so it will be better. Then suddenly inflow of despair - it{he} doubts of itself, in the and writes the letter. No, not the letter, and cry from the heart is born{carried} to the sister to Moscow (her{it} have carried away for the period of an affair). And that answers: <you are engaged, declared by the groom, in what position there will be she{it} if you now will refuse?> And it{he} concedes.
