In 1914 the family moved to Ukraine . Before the revolutions of 1917 and during the Russian Civil War , the family lived in the village of Nova Bassan . Dorodnitsyn attended the seven-year school in Berezan . In 1925 the family moved to Grozny , where Dorodnitsyn graduated from high school in 1927. Dorodnitsyn graduated from the Grozny Petroleum Institute, where Mikhail Dmitrijewitsch Millionschtschikow also studied, in 1931 as an engineer for oil production . He then carried out geological surveys in the Urals , Bashkiria and Turkmenistan as head of a seismological working group .

1936-1938 Dorodnizyn was aspirant in Geophysical main observatory (since 1949 Geophysical Wojeikow -Hauptobservatorium) in Leningrad , where he worked since 1,932th In 1939 he defended his dissertation on the effects of the roughness of the earth's surface on air currents for his doctorate as a candidate in physical-mathematical sciences . He then stayed there as a research assistant.

From 1941 to 1960 Dorodnitsyn worked at the Central Aerohydrodynamic Institute (ZAGI) in Zhukovsky , where he became department head, sector head and scientific head of a laboratory. He belonged to the flight department formed in 1940 by ZAGI head Ivan Fyodorowitsch Petrov , which also included Mstislav Vsevolodowitsch Keldysch , Vladimir Petrowitsch Wettschinkin , Sergei Alexejewitsch Christianowitsch , Ivan Vasiljewitsch Ostoslawski , Georgi Petrovich Nikolayevich Swishchevten and Sergei Petrowitsch Nikolayevich . In 1942 Dorodnitsyn defended his dissertation on the boundary layer in compressible gas for a doctorate in technical sciences . 1945–1955 Dorodnitsyn also worked in the Leningrad Steklov Institute for Mathematics of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (AN-SSSR, since 1991 Russian Academy of Sciences (RAN)) as a senior scientist and department head.

In addition to his research activities, Dorodnitsyn taught from 1944 to 1946 as a professor at the Chair of Theoretical Aerodynamics at the Moscow State Aviation Institute (MAI). From 1947, Dorodnitsyn gave lectures at the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology . He also taught at the Leningrad Mining Institute and further at the MAI. In 1949 he was appointed professor. In 1953 he was elected a full member of the AN-SSSR without prior corresponding membership.

In 1955 Dorodnitsyn was one of the founders of the data center of the AN-SSSR (WZAN) in Moscow (named after Dorodnitsyn in 2015) and became its first director (until 1989). In 1956 he was one of the founding members of the National Committee of the USSR for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics . In 1989 he became honorary director of the WZAN and scientific director. For many years he was chief editor of the journal for numerical mathematics and mathematical physics . He was one of the founders of the International Federation for Information Processing (IFIP) in 1960 under the auspices of UNESCO . At a meeting of the State Committee on Science and Technology of the Council of Ministers of the USSR and the AN-SSSR, Dorodnitsyn, Sergei Alexejewitsch Lebedev and Mikhail Kirillowitsch Sulim unsuccessfully opposed the decision to copy the IBM 360 system . 1968–1971 Dorodnitsyn was president of the IFIP.

Dorodnitsyn's main research interests were ordinary differential equations , algebra , meteorology , wing vortex theory , boundary layer theory and supersonic gas dynamics . He also devoted himself to various computer science problems .

Dorodnitsyn was never a member of the CPSU . Dorodnitsyn, Alexander Michailowitsch Prokhorov , Georgi Konstantinowitsch Skrjabin and Andrei Nikolajewitsch Tichonow condemned Andrei Dmitrijewitsch Sakharov's letter of the danger of a nuclear war in an open letter .
