Life

Sawarizkis parents were the civil servant Nikolai Alexandrowitsch Sawarizki (1836-1923) and his wife Irina Iljinitschna née Filaretowa (1854-1936), who had six sons and a daughter. Sawarizki attended the Ufa grammar school from 1890 and graduated with a gold medal in 1902. He then studied at the geological faculty of the St. Petersburg Mining Institute . In 1905 he was excluded from studying because of the revolutionary unrest . In 1908 he wrote his first scientific work on some graphite rock samples in the mineral collection of the mining museum. In 1909 he wrote his diploma thesis on the platinum content of the northern Ural massif with Wassili Wassiljewitsch Nikitin .

After completing his studies, Sawarizki stayed at the chair for ore deposits at the Mining Institute as Karl Ivanovich Bogdanovich's assistant . In 1909 he married his fellow student Olga Ivanovna Simonova. 1911–1912 Sawarizki examined the Gora Magnitnaja ( magnetic mountain) at what would later become Magnitogorsk and directed the development of the iron ore deposit . He published his results in two specialist papers in 1911 and 1913. In 1913 he was appointed adjunct geologist and in 1915 geologist in the Geolkom (Geological Committee of the All-Russian Geological Institute). In 1921 he was appointed professor at the Department of Ore Deposits at the Mining Institute.

In 1939 Zavaritsky was elected as a Real Member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (AN-SSSR) . In the same year he became director of the Institute for Geology of the AN-SSSR (until 1941), from which in 1955 the Institute for Geology of Ore Deposits, Petrography, Mineralogy and Geochemistry of the AN-SSSR emerged. In 1944 he founded the Laboratory for Volcanology of the AN-SSSR, of which he was then director. From 1946 he was Academy Secretary of the Department of Geological and Geographical Sciences of the AN-SSSR.

Sawarizki's main focus was on regional and theoretical petrography and the investigation of ore deposits and volcanism in the various regions of the USSR (Urals, Caucasus , Kamchatka , Kazakhstan , Armenia ), China , Spain and Italy . One of his most famous students was Boris Ivanovich Piip . Sawarizki established petro chemistry as a new field of research in petrology . He was the author of many scientific publications.

Savaritsky was buried in the Novodevichy Cemetery. His works appeared in a four-volume edition in Moscow 1956–1963. In 1970, the Institute of Geology and Geochemistry of the Urals Science Center of the AN-SSSR got Zavaritsky's name. The Zavaritskit bears his name and also the Sawarizki - volcano in Kamchatka, a glacier on the Kuril Islands , a lava tube at the Stony Tunguska (1959) and rocks on Hall Island . Every year on Zavaritsky's birthday, Zavaritsky lectures on problems of the geology of the Urals are held in Yekaterinburg .
