Yushchenko Artemy Pavlovich 
 (06.10.1895 – 01.04.1968)

Hydrograph-surveyor, professor, honored worker of science and technology of the RSFSR, honorary polar explorer. 
Born in Moscow. In 1917 he graduated from the Physics and Mathematics Faculty of St. Petersburg University. He, as a student, fascinated by his future specialty as a physicist in physics, was noted by A.F. Ioffe and connected to his famous seminar, the participants of which included the future Nobel laureates Nikolai Semenov and Peter Kapitsa, academician Peter Lukirsky, corresponding member Jacob Frenkel. 
But Yushchenko suddenly abruptly changed his fate by enrolling in separate midshipmen classes. "Black Midshipmen" - so called them for black shoulder straps with two white stripes. The fleet lacked “white midshipmen” - graduates of the Naval Cadet Corps, one of the most privileged educational institutions in Russia, which only accepted noble children, and the government was forced to organize training for naval officers from students and graduates of higher educational institutions, regardless of class estate. 
Yushchenko graduated from the gardemarín classes in 1918 and was immediately sent to the Pulkovo Observatory for an internship to complete training as a surveyor hydrograph. His love for physics did not immediately leave him, but the new profession led him away to a completely different direction: hydrographic work on the Neva as part of Ubekobalt, on the Caspian Sea as head of the detachment, then as head of the astronomical and geodetic party as part of the EGE on Novaya Zemlya, Kola peninsula. 
In 1928, Yushchenko was transferred to the cartographic department of the State Naval Unit, where he held the positions of assistant head of department, deputy head of department, sector, assistant head of department. From 1938 to 1941, he taught at the Hydrographic Institute, heading the department of geodesy, and with the beginning of the war he again went to work at the Hydrographic Department of the Navy, where he held the position of a charting engineer, head of the mapping department and pilot classes, and chief editor of special manuals. From 1944 he worked at the Naval Academy as a senior lecturer in the department of geodesy and astronomy. 
In 1948, Yushchenko resigned due to illness and completely switched to teaching. 
Multilateral, including mathematical training, allowed Yushchenko to work at the intersection of science. He combined the knowledge of the hydrograph, navigator, surveyor, and physicist. Due to his erudition, for example, he was one of the first to evaluate the possibilities of the developed by academicians Mandelstam and Papaleksy together with the engineer Shchegolev, the method of geodetic measurements for marine navigation. For several decades radio navigation systems based on this method have provided high-precision navigation in many seas of the World Ocean. For these systems, Yushchenko developed a method for constructing navigation charts, which significantly simplified the procedure for determining the position of the vessel. 
But Yushchenko was a particularly unsurpassed specialist in designing tables designed to provide navigation. Under his leadership, cartographic tables were created, published by the State Naval Forces. The Azimuths of Luminaries tables, better known as Yushchenko’s Tables, undoubtedly surpassed all other tables of the same purpose known in the world for ease of use, completeness and accuracy. There was no navigator who did not appreciate them. 
Doctor of Naval Sciences, Honored Scientist Yushchenko was awarded the Przewalski Gold Medal for the Cartography book by the Geographical Society.Among his awards are the Order of Lenin, the Labor Red Banner, the Red Star, the Badge of Honor, and medals. 
He died in Leningrad, was buried in the village of Komarovo, Leningrad Region. 
Mountain on the Shturmans Peninsula in the Taimyr Gulf. At the request of numerous students, Yushchenko was named after his death the Krasnoyarsk Council of People's Deputies.
