Kotin biography briefly

Joseph Yakovlevich in the year began his career as a student, a locksmith assistant at the Khumohaniye Khumokhany Plant in Kharkov. After graduating from the Evening Workers' Faculty of the Rabfaka, he studied at the Kharkov Polytechnic Institute, from where he was sent to the F. Military-Technical Academy in the F. Faculty of Mechanization and Motorization, Kotin defended the diploma project on the Housing Tank on the basis of the AMO truck after the secondary protection, already before M.

Tukhachevsky, in the design sector, in the design sector The research department of the Academy began the design of Kotin. Based on the materials of the thesis project, several MS tanks were manufactured here, the cat is instructed to create a machine gun installation based on a motorcycle. The installation with a machine gun of Degtyarev’s structure was shown at a parade on Red Square.

Since the year, J. Kotin has been serving in the research department of the Military Academy of Mechanization and Motorization of the Red Army, was the head of the design sector, and then the head of the department. The scope of his activities included the development of structures of super -heavy tanks, experiments on air landing and leading floating tanks T by dumping them from aircraft from a small height without the use of parachutes.

In May, Kotin was appointed to the post of chief designer of the SKB-2 Kirov Plant in the city by that time by the Kirov former Putilov factory serially made the middle tanks T, having headed a special design bureau, J. Kotin makes changes to the design of this tank, which made it possible to increase its reliability and improve some characteristics.

At the same time, the bureau develops a new heavy two -tower breakthrough tank with anti -console reservation of the QMS “Sergey Mironovich Kirov”. The development of experimental components and systems, such as individual torsion suspension, support rollers with internal depreciation, planetary board, etc., facilitated the development of the technical level of tanks, and the work under the general leadership of J.

Kotin was performed by groups of designers, where A. were A. Ermolaev in the QMS and N. Spirits on KB. The first sample of the KB tank was made in September of the year and, together with the QMS and a number of other cars, was sent to the Karelian Isthmus to participate in the breakthrough of the Mannerheim line. Tolstobron tanks showed undeniable advantages in this operation, and the KB tank, equipped with a new D-2 diesel engine, turned out to be more mobile and less vulnerable than the QMS tank.

The serial production of KB was started instead of the tank T, at the same time, in the battles on the Mannerheim line, an urgent need to use an even more powerful gun was revealed than a mm tank gun of the L-II Tank of KV. Therefore, to suppress enemy bunkers at the beginning of the year, an installation of mm howitzer m in an increased tower was urgently developed.

Four samples of the new KV-2 tank at the beginning of the year were made and checked at the final stage of the battles. They showed high combat efficiency and complete invulnerability from the fire of the enemy anti -tank artillery. In years in SKB-2, an option of light tank with anti-console reservation T “Object” was developed. This period includes work in the creation of cast towers performed at the Izhora plant.

A more powerful KB gun MM ZIS-5, a cast tower, was put on the KB serial tank, and additional armor was welded on the frontal sheets of the case. However, before the start of the war, these works were not completed. Kotin, along with the director of the plant I. Saltsman, M. Kalinin, handed the Order of Lenin and the Gold Medal “Sickle and the Hammer”. Kotin was appointed chief designer of the ChKZ, and N.

Spirits - his deputy. At the end of the year, the People's Commissar of the Tank Industry freed by Zh. The chief designer of the tank production at the ChKZ was again appointed N. During the war years, 18 thousand tanks and self -propelled guns, as well as more than 50 thousand engines for them, were left from the gates of the tank. Kotin, embodied many original ideas and constructive solutions.

These include planetary transmissions and new types of rotation mechanisms, shock absorbers built into the chassis balancers, the ejection cooling system, the mechanism for sending the projectile and charge, the beam torsions and a number of other components and devices. In particular, an attempt was made to create an electric transmission for the IS-6 “Object” heavy tank. In the activities of J.

Kotin, a preferred attitude to individual types of technology is visible, in particular to heavy tanks, the desire to saturate these machines as new design as possible. By order of the Ministry of Transport of March 19, J. Scientific and research work aimed at solving general-scale problems, a secondary place was assigned to the institute and in the year of VNII was freed from the construction of serial models and design of the production of the Kirov plant.

In this regard, J. Kotin concentrated his activities on the leadership of the OKBT who stood out from the institute.On the basis of T and PT in the late X, many experimental and small-scale machines were created, including self-propelled guns, as well as chassis for self-propelled launchers and other self-propelled units for tactical, tactical and ballistic missiles of Mars, Luna, Filin, Generator-5, RM, RT, RTP, RTP, RTP, RTP, RTP.

Temp-2C, armored tractors. Along with work in the field of military caterpillar vehicles, Kotin in the first post -war years led the work to create a KT crane tractor, and at the beginning of the 19ths, the wheel tractor to Kirovets is a distinctive feature of Zh. Kotin’s chief designer, and in the period with the years - the deputy minister of the defense industry of the defense industry, was a constant creative search, the desire to see a new, promising even promising Where it is not yet visible in an explicit form.

Joseph Yakovlevich Kotin was awarded by scientific degrees and the title of Doctor of Technical Sciences, Professor, Honored Worker of Science and Technology of the RSFSR, he headed the department at the Leningrad Polytechnic Institute for several years. Since the year, he wore the military rank of Colonel-Privner. Kotin gave a lot of effort to state, party and socio-political activity.

Joseph Yakovlevich possessed an energetic and sociable character, enjoyed great respect and authority of subordinates. He raised a large team of highly qualified specialists. A significant galaxy of large workers of the industry, such as G. Efimov, P. Efimov, P. Isakov, N. Popov, N. Sinev, V., died, V. Zhoseph Yakovlevich in the year came out of the associates of J. Kotin. He was buried in the Novodevichy cemetery in Moscow.

In the memory of everyone who was in contact with J. Kotin, he left a deep mark as a talented engineer, a large organizer of industry. On the territory of the Kirov plant, a marble bust of Joseph Yakovlevich was installed.
