Life

Welichow graduated from secondary school No. 49 in Moscow and studied physics at the Lomonossow University Moscow (MGU) from 1953 with a degree in theoretical physics in 1958. He then worked at the MGU as an aspirant for a doctorate as a candidate in physical-mathematical sciences . He investigated instabilities in fluids and plasmas , which led to the discovery of magnetorotation instability in 1959 and the discovery of electrothermal instability in 1962.

From 1961 Welichow worked at the Kurchatov Institute for Atomic Energy . In 1964 he received his doctorate in physical-mathematical sciences . His fields of work were plasma physics, laser physics, nuclear fusion and magnetohydrodynamics with application as a magnetohydrodynamic generator . In 1968 he became a professor for atomic physics , plasma physics and microelectronics . In 1968 he became a Corresponding Member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR (AN-SSSR) and in 1974 a full member. In 1989 he became a foreign member of the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences .

From 1970 to 1978 Welichow was a member of the Central Committee of the Komsomol and from 1977 chairman of the Soviet of Young Scientists and Specialists of the Central Committee. In 1971 he joined the Communist Party of the Soviet Union and remained a member until it was dissolved in 1991.

From 1971 to 1978 Welichow headed the AN-SSSR's magnet laboratory, which was separated from the Kurchatov Institute and which became the Troitsker Institute for Innovative and Thermonuclear Research (TRINITI) in 1991 . In 1972 he became the new Chair of plasma - energy technology in the Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology appointed (MFTI). He was vice president of the AN-SSSR from 1978 to 1991 and then of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAN) until 1996 .

Welichow was a member of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR from 1984 to 1989. 1983 to 1988 he headed the Committee of Soviet Scientists for Defense of Peace and Against Nuclear War. From 1989 to 1990 he was a member of the Central Committee of the Communist Party. He was chairman of the AN-SSSR Commission for Work with Youth and the International Foundation for the Survival and Development of Mankind and President of the Russian Department of the International Center for Scientific Culture. He was a member of the Russian Committee of the Pugwash Conferences on Science and World Affairs and a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences .

After the Chernobyl nuclear disaster in 1986, Welichow was involved in the work to cope with the consequences of the disaster. In 1988 he became director of the Kurchatov Institute and chairman of the international program ( Soviet Union , USA , EEC , Japan ) for the construction of a tokamak reactor ( ITER ).

In 1992 Welichow became president of the Russian RosSchelf concern for the development of the shelf (part of Gazprom ). In 1993 he founded a Russian -US company for the marketing of Russian patents and licenses . He is a member of the board of directors of the RelKom computer network , which was originally created in the Kurchatov Institute.

In 1992 Welichow became president of the Kurchatov Science Center . In 2009 he became Chairman of the ITER Board of Directors. In 2010 he became a member of the Scientific Advisory Board of the Skolkowo Foundation. In 2013 he retired.

In 2005 Velikhov became a member and secretary of the new Russian Social Chamber (from 2014 honorary secretary). In 2012 he was officially registered as a person of trust for the candidate Putin .
