Text 2: Chemistry In the Karazin National University
The history of the chemistry department started with the opening of the University itself in 1805 though at first there was no such a specialty as chemistry. It belonged to the so-called “Department of Sciences of Physics and Mathematics”. Only in the year 1894 the chemical section managed to separate. The newly formed department consisted of two chairs, namely the chair of organic chemistry and that of inorganic and analytical chemistry.
In the second part of the nineteenth century the number of qualified chemists increased greatly. Here worked the Kharkiv Society of Physics and Chemistry where the scientists reported about the results of their work and the news in scientific literature. However the World War I and the following revolution changed the further history of the University and the University chemists.
Instead of the University the Academy of Theoretical Studies appeared, later in 1921 – the Kharkiv Institute of People’s Education. It was reorganized in 1930 into the Kharkiv Institute of Physics, Chemistry and Mathematics. Its structure included the department of chemistry that was the largest one then. 1933 witnessed the second organization of the Kharkiv University. By this time the department included the following chairs: Inorganic Chemistry, Organic and Physical Chemistry, the Chemistry of Qualitative and Quantitative Analyses and Technical Chemistry. In three years the chair of Colloid Chemistry (the first one in Ukraine) appeared. 1935 was the year when the department started to issue the journal “The Works of the Chemistry Institute”. The first issue was dedicated to the 130 anniversary of the University.
World War II interrupted the studying and scientific processes. A part of teachers and lecturers were evacuated, a lot of them took part in military operations.
Just after the liberation of Kharkiv scientific schools started to rise and to develop. Now the department can be proud of a great number of Doctors of Science, Professors. A great contribution to the development of the department of chemistry and to the chemistry itself was made by N. N. Beketov, E. N. Gapon, J. O. Gabel, N. A. Valiashko, N. A. Izmajlov etc.
