Life

Pavlova's father Mikhail Pavlov was Metallurg in steelworks Sulin and in 1900 a lecturer and head of the Department for pig iron in the new Mining Academy in Yekaterinoslav and 1904 Professor at the St. Petersburg Polytechnic Institute . Her mother was a librarian . After passing the entrance examination, Pavlova attended the coeducational business school in the St. Petersburg district of Lesnoi, where teaching was free without rewards and penalties and Boris Evgenyevich Raikov taught natural history. Then she completed 1914-1916 training in the Society for the Promotion of the Arts.

After the October Revolution , Pavlova worked from 1918 as a science teacher at the working school of the Petrograd Polytechnic Institute . Since it was now possible to study for women, Pavlova studied at the same time at the University of Petrograd in the natural science department of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics . In 1920 she completed her studies in the field of systematics of plants and geobotany . It was now an assistant at the Department of Botany of Nekrasov - Education -Instituts. 1924–1927 Pavlova studied at the Leningrad Phonetics Institute in the English department.

In 1925 Pavlova became an employee of the Leningrad All Union Institute for Applied Botany (later the All Union Institute for Plant Breeding WIR) headed by Nikolai Ivanovich Wawilow in the department for fruit and berry crops , where she grew berry crops. In addition, she completed 1926-1929 the post graduate course in Peterhof - Biology -Institut the Leningrad University (LGU). From 1928, her breeding work resulted in 24 new varieties of currants , including a blackcurrant and gooseberries . Some of these varieties have been approved in the GDR , Bulgaria , Hungary , Finland and Denmark .

In 1934 the zoologist Lew Walentinowitsch Bianki (brother Witali Walentinowitsch Biankis ) and the editor of the magazine Juny (young) Naturalist visited the WIR and asked the director Wawilow to name an employee who could write essays on the work of the WIR for children. Wawilow recommended Pavlova, who wrote humorous poems for the wall newspaper . Pavlova then entered Vitali Bianki's literary school, which he had founded in his home. These included Nikolai Ivanovich Sladkow , Alexei Alexejewitsch Liwerowski , Soja Pirogowa, Kronid Garnowski, Swjatoslaw Wladimirowitsch Sacharnow , Boris Stepanowitsch Schitkow and others. With Witali Bianki's help, Pavlova wrote her first short story in 1935 . She always sent Bianki to review her other works as well. When she developed rheumatoid arthritis , Bianki's letters supported her. In her short stories, which appeared in various magazines, she described the many aspects of plant life with great understanding for children on a scientific basis without using technical terms. She wrote 28 short stories for the ninth edition of the Biankis forest newspaper. She participated in a monthly children's radio show ( Messages from the Forest ).

In 1938 Pavlova received her doctorate with her results without defending a dissertation as a candidate for biological sciences. During the Leningrad blockade in 1942 she was sent to the Altai Fruit and Berry Experimental Station in Oirot-Tura , where she worked with wild Siberian berries. In 1945 she returned to the WIR. In 1951, with her results in her monograph on the blackcurrant in the USSR , she was awarded a doctorate in biological sciences without defending a dissertation . 1959–1967 she headed the fruit crops department.
