He was born in 1904 in Saint Petersburg.[3] From 1922 to 1930 he studied at the Saint Petersburg Electrotechnical University.[4] He began his career in 1924 as a battery laboratory fitter, later as an intern, technician and supervisor at the plant. The first of his scientific and engineering was instrument engineering. He created a number of original designs of devices, many of which were kept in Soviet industry as universally recognized examples for many years. He also successfully developed a number of issues of spectral theory, the theory of nonlinear oscillations, and parametric phenomena.

In 1938 he is already a doctor of technical sciences and professor. At this time he gets a chair at the St. Petersburg State University of Telecommunications, where he works until 1941.[4] In 1948 he was elected a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR.
