In 1958 the Decree of Council of Ministers of USSR No. 1371 dated 20.12.1958 was issued about transfer of Moscow Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals and Gold to Krasnoyarsk and about its rebranding into Krasnoyarsk Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals and Gold. In 1962 in the institute the Chairs of heavy and noble metals metallurgy and of light and rare metals metallurgy were established. The first Head of the Chair of heavy and noble metals metallurgy was Nikolai Ivanovich Utkin, candidate of technical Nikolai Ivanovich sciences, associate professor (1962–1965). He was one of the devel- Utkin opers of melting of non-ferrous metals in liquid bath, now known as Vanyukov melting. He was one of the students of A. V. Vanyukov, and issued numerous guidebooks on metallurgy of copper and nickel for students of higher and vocational educa- tional establishments. Then the Chair was headed by Gennady Nikolaevich Shivrin, associate professor, candidate of technical sciences (1965–1968), who was the head of the Chair after presentation of doctoral thesis in 1972, and Boris Petrovich Blednov, associate professor, candidate of technical sciences (1968–1972). From 1962 to 1963 Lidia Ivanovna Ivanova, associate professor, candidate of technical sciences was acting head of the Chair of light and rare metals metallurgy. In June, 1964 Oleg Andreevich Lebedev was appointed as the Head of the Chair, he was transferred here from Leningrad (All-Union Institute of Aluminum and Magnesium). Gennady Nikolaevich Boris Petrovich Lidia Ivanovna Shivrin Blednov Ivanova Teaching staff of the Chair consisted of three persons: O. A. Lebedev, L. I. Ivanova and Vitaly Dmitrievich Syomin, associate professor. In December, 1964, after postgraduate education in Leningrad Polytechnic Institute, Peter Vasilyevich Polyakov came to Krasnoyarsk, and the new personnel of the Chair began to arrange laboratories of the Chair from the scratch. In 1966 O. A. Lebedev departed to Leningrad passing the Chair to P. V. Polyakov, candidate of technical sciences. In 1969 A. M. Orlov presented the first candidate thesis titled Formation of liquid metal phase upon electrolysis of melts, which was performed at the Chair. 3 TTHHEE FFOOUURRTTHH IINNTTEERRNNAATTIIOONNAALL CCOONNGGRREESSSS ««NNOONN--FFEERRRROOUUSS MMEETTAALLSS––22001122»» In 1974 the chairs of metallurgy were reorganized and restructured with subsequent establishment of chairs of noble and rare metals metallurgy, light metals metallurgy and alumina production, and heavy non-ferrous metals metallurgy. The first of them was headed by a student of Igor Nikolaevich Plaksin, a prominent So- viet metallurgy scientist, corresponding member of Academy of Sciences of USSR: Professor, Doctor of technical sciences Vladimir Semyonovich Strizhko (1974–1980), who became the Rector of Krasnoyarsk Institute of Non-Ferrous Metals.
