“…Thanks to this method of research it was possible to analyze the sources related to the life and work of M. P. Petrov, namely the literature that characterizes the factors to shape his scientific worldview. The use of the historical method allowed a deeper study of the early period of life and work of M. P. Petrov, which has not yet been done in scientific and popular literature (Yanin, 2018). Tretiakov.…”

The article reviews the factors of the scientific views’ formation of Mykola Pavlovych Petrov – formidable Russian scientist and engineer in relation to his administrative efforts of development of the native scientific and technical community XIX–XX. The special focus was made on the biographical component, especially his study in Petersburg institutions. The crucial impact on the scientific destiny of M. P. Petrov was made by his studying in the Engineer Academy. In that time the intellectual basement for the future activities was formed. As a matter of fact, later M.P. Petrov became the formidable engineer and scientist. M. P. Petrov was the student of the formidable mathematician, academician of the Petersburg Academy of Science Mykhailo Vasylovych Ostrohradskyi (1801–1862). M. P. Petrov gained a lot of useful skills and knowledge from his teacher. Among those the following: high mathematical culture, abstract thinking, knowledge of the theoretical and practical problems in various areas of science, especially the ones that were related to railway transport. Work as the lecturer in the Technological Institute, communication with I. A. Vyshniehradskyi, A. P. Borodin and other scientists and specialists played a role of some kind of push for M. P. Petrov to study applied disciplines, mainly related to the friction of lubricated materials. Among the teachers of M. P. Petrov in the Academy was Herman Yehorovych Pauker (1822–1889). M. P. Petrov always recalled him as the wonderful engineer and teacher, who was the creator of the school for the engineers-teachers. The main goal of the school was the harmonious connection between engineer work and science. In the Academy M. P. Petrov met the lecturer of mechanics of the Institute of the communication paths engineer corps Stanislav Valerianovych Kerbedz. During the studying in the Academy M. P. Petrov was formed as the future scientist and specialist, who had the character which helped him to communicate easily with people. He had humane views and always acted alone and fairly. These features of his character in conjunction with his great mind helped him to achieve all his goals while solving the complicated engineer and administrative tasks. Aspiration to knowledge, original and brave thinking were among the main features of M. P. Petrov`s nature.

The article describes the life and activities of the formidable scientist, engineer, statesman, Academician Mykola Pavlovych Petrov (1836-1920. He was widely known as a reformer of the railway transport and at the same time, as one of the core founders of the technical education in Russian Empire.Solid knowledge and experience gained abroad in mechanics were successfully used by M. P. Petrov in his further practical scientific activities. He played a considerable role in solving the vast variety of railway issues. Among those should be mentioned the following ones: achieving the concessions for railway building, taking part in the formation process of the democratic joint stock railway partnerships, countless researches dedicated to the lowering of spendings for the railway in general and rolling stock in particular. Due to M. P. Petrov all the foreign experience which that he was able to gather used for the railway in a practical way that made the work of the railway engineers easier and more efficient.The track record of Academician M. P. Petrov is just amazing. Various activities on railways show us that M. P. Petrov had indisputable authority among the scientists, engineers and statesmen of his time, in particular in the Railway Ministry.All the tasks that performed M. P. Petrov were closely connected to the hardest and most important issues of the railways and building mechanic.The article also describes the most important researches which were carried out by M. P. Petrov. First of all, his hydrodynamic lubrication theory should be mentioned. He was the first scientist in the world that implemented the totally new concept of friction between the solid materials with usage of the lubricating fluids. He evaluated the characteristics of the lubricating fluids depending on the pressure and temperature and their influence on the friction process. One more important research conducted by M. P. Petrov was his work on the question about the braking systems for the locomotives. It helped the engineers all over the world to have the understanding how the ideal braking system should look like and work.In addition to the statesman work and performing the engineering tasks on the railway, M. P. Petrov was also a Professor of the Engineer Academy and Technological Institute and could be considered as one of the founders of the technical education, combining not only the theoretical knowledge, but also the practical experience. M. P. Petrov started a lot of new courses, wrote huge amount of books and manuals.In addition, the article provides information about the awards of N. P. Petrov, as well as detailed description about his career.
