Nikolaj Vladimirovich Timofeev-Resovskij ((ロシア語:Николай Владимирович Тимофеев-Ресовский); , Moscow — March 28, 1981) was a Soviet biologist. He conducted research in radiation genetics, experimental population genetics, and microevolution. His work was of special importance to Soviet biology because it stood in direct opposition to the damage done by Lysenkoism, while his life was highlighted by scientific achievements in the face of severe personal hardship. His life was described by Daniil Granin in the novel ''Zubr''. He was Director of the Genetics Division as the Kaiser Wilhelm Institute for Brain Research in the 1930s, where he received direct funding for his research from the Third Reich, who praised him as one of the world's best geneticists and trusted him because he was an opponent of Communism.〔("Biologists Under Hitler" ), Ute Deichmann, Thomas Dunlap.

Cambridge University Press, 2003. p. 175-176.ISBN 0521528607, ISBN 978-0-521-52860-3.〕 His department of genetics in Nazi Berlin was also described in a novel by Elly Welt, ''Berlin Wild''; although fictional names were used, the characters are recognizable. ==Education== Nikolaj Vladimirovich Timofeev-Resovski,〔”Николай Владимирович Тимофеев-Ресовский” transliterated, from a one-to-one American English convention on the Cyrillic alphabet, becomes “Nikolaj Vladimirovich Timofeev-Resovskij”.〕 began his university education from 1916 to 1917 at the Moscow City People’s University named after A. L. Shanyavskij. From 1917 to 1922, he studied at the First Moscow State University.〔Ivanov and Liapunova, 1990, not paginated; see also N. V. Timofeev-Resovskij ''Kratkaya Avtobiograficheskaya Zapiska'' (''Brief Autobiographical Note'') not paginated ((14 October 1977) ).〕 The First World War and the consequences of the Russian Revolution of 1917 interrupted his education for periods of time. At the outbreak of the Russian Civil War, Timofeev-Resovskij was a follower of the anarchist Peter Kropotkin. In 1918, he volunteered to serve in a small anarchist cavalry unit, which was part of the Green army, i.e., they were neither supporters of the Bolshevik Red army nor the White army of General Anton Ivanovich Denikin. Eventually, in 1919, the anarchists joined the Red army. As a private in the 12th Red Army, Timofeev-Resovskij took part in the last battle of the Civil War in the Crimea on the Polish front.〔Medvedev, 1982, no pagination.〕〔Ratner, 2001.〕 A paper trail of his education was swept away in the chaos of war. Timofeev-Resovskij abandoned his education without a scientific degree; he left formal education with only a gold medal. Even though he eventually became a recognized world-class scientist, he would later, as a requirement for employment, be required to complete his doctorate. He defended his doctoral dissertation in 1963 in Sverdlovsk, and he was awarded a Doctor of Science diploma in 1964.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nikolay Timofeev-Ressovsky」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
