KOVALENKOV, VALENTIN IVANOVICH (Electrical Engineer) 



V. I. Kovalenkov was born March 25, 1884. He graduated 

 from Petersburg Electro-Technical Institute in 1909, and from 

 Petersburg University in 1911. From 1940 to 1948 he worked 

 at the Institute of Automation and Remote Control of the 

 U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences. In 1946 to 1956, he was Di- 

 rector of the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences Laboratory in Solv- 

 ing Problems in Wire Communications. He was awarded a 

 Stalin Prize in 1941, and was awarded the title Honored Scien- 

 tist of the R.S.F.S.R. in 1935. He holds the rank of Major 

 General in the Technical Engineering Service, and has been a

 He was elected, in 1939, to the U.S.S.R. Academy of Sciences as 

 a Corresponding Member. 



The main works of Kovalenkov are concerned with the theory 

 of wire transmission of communication, to analysis of pro- 

 cesses in them and to analyzing of magnetic chains. In ad- 

 dition, Kovalenkov worked on the origination of telephone trans- 

 lation (from 1909; first Soviet translation of the system of 

 Kovalenkov was established in 1922 on the telephone line of 

 Moscow -Petrograd). He has a series of inventions in the area 

 of electrotechnics and sound movies.
