Abstract:
Dmitry Viktorovich Korolkov (06.14.1925 - 01.10.1984) was a Soviet radio astronomer, Doctor of Sciences in physics and mathematics (1972). Dmitry Viktorovich was born in Gomel, Belarus. In 1942, he joined the Red Army as a volunteer and took part in the fighting of the Great Patriotic War. Dmitry Viktorovich was wounded twice and was demobilized in 1948. He was awarded State Awards - the Order of the October Revolution and the medals: For Battle Merit (twice), For the Defense of the Caucasus, and For the Victory over Germany (twice). D.V. Korolkov was the initiator of equipping the RATAN-600 radio telescope with highly sensitive receivers. First radiometers, including the cryogenic ones, were developed under his leadership. He was also a very cheerful and humorous person. This was evident from his funny drawings in wall newspapers.
