Life

Karimowa came from a Tatar working-class family who came to Kyrgyzstan from Tatarstan in 1921 . Because of feared repression during the Great Terror , the family moved to the Donbass to Rutschenkowe (now part of Donetsk ) in 1937 , where Karimova became an excellent student at the Ukrainian school. After the beginning of the German-Soviet war , the family was evacuated to Tatarstan to a village near Buinsk .

After graduating from school in Buinsk in 1945, Karimova began studying at the University of Kazan in the geological faculty . She did her first internship during her studies in the Oljokminsk prospecting expedition .

After graduating in 1950, Karimowa was assigned to the Aldan prospecting expedition in South Yakutia . It was intended for the most difficult area, so that because of the impassability of the terrain, she and her friend had to walk 47 km to their place of work for two . For five years she was in the Fjodorowskoje- mica - deposit business.

In 1955, Karimova became a senior geologist in the South Yakut composite expedition for the coal prospecting group and the thematic groups and head of the geology department. Their task was to investigate the potential of the Neryungri coal deposit and to prove it to the State Committee for Mineral Resources of the USSR . She reported to the State Committee in 1959, 1960 and 1962. She received drilling rig from Moscow and drilled hundreds of holes. In 1968 she became chief geologist of the South Yakut joint expedition. Under her leadership, the exploration of the Neryungri coalfield was completed. In 1971 a commission from Japan came to Neryungri to represent eight metallurgy companies. The commission proposed that the government of the USSR supply Japanese equipment in exchange for Neryungri coal. In 1973 Karimova defended her assessment of the Neryungri coal reserves in the State Committee for Natural Resources.

In 1981, Karimova opened the extremely rich Elginskoye coking coal deposit 415 km east of Neryungri and 300 km from the Baikal-Amur highway . She was also involved in evaluating the Yakut deposits of gold , uranium , molybdenum , granite , marble and building materials. She was looking for underground water and mineral waters . With their participation, further coal and iron ore mines were opened while the phlogopite deposits are still waiting to be exploited. In 1988 Karimova retired.

The high school No. 1 in Neryungri bears Karimova's name.
