Tuymaada International Olympiad Insights
Technology Dmitry Aleksandrov, Dr. Aleksey Gudenko, Dr.
Valery Danilin, graduates of Moscow Institute of Physics and
Technology Vitaly Vavilov, Dr. Vyacheslav Muraviev, Aleksandr
Chudnovsky, Maksim Ryndin, and a teacher of Advanced
Educational Scientific Center (Faculty) - Kolmogorov Boarding
School of Moscow State University Dr. Sergey Varlamov. We are
proud that in 2008 Professor Stanislav Kozel, the leader of the
Russian physics olympiad movement, was a member of the Jury.
The representative jury gave the Olympiad in physics its unique
style. Tuymaada International Olympiad continues the high
achievements of Russian olympiads, it has achieved the status
of an international olympiad and has built a strong reputation
among its participants. The positive thing is that Tuymaada
International Olympiad has a Junior League. This anticipated
the idea of the International Junior Science Olympiad, first held
in 2004 in Indonesia. Romanian Second Physics Team was the
most active participant of both these Olympiads.
Prize-winners of the first Olympiads are Oleg Sidelnikov,
a graduate of Verkhnevilyuisk Republican Gymnasia and the
Faculty of Physics at Moscow State University, Anatoly Zakharov,
a graduate of the Republican College (currently Republican
Lyceum Boarding School) and St. Petersburg Polytechnic
University, Andrey Zayakin, a graduate of Yakutsk school No.
26 and the Faculty of Physics at Moscow State University,
Nikolay Sobolev, a graduate of the Republican College and
Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology, Vadim Yakovlev, a
graduate of the Republican College and the Faculty of Physics
at Moscow State University, Nadezhda Popova, a graduate
of the Republican College and the Faculty of Mechanics and
Mathematics at Moscow State University, Vasily Kondakov,
a graduate of the Republican College and Moscow Institute
of Physics and Technology. They are successful graduates of
the best Russian universities which, I think, was undoubtedly
influenced by Tuymaada Olympiad.
In 1999, Lensky Krai Physics and Mathematics Forum was
opened, starting a whole new chapter of the physics and
mathematics movement in the Republic. The Forum has greatly
improved the quality of training for the members of the Sakha
National Team in physics. The Forum has now been rebranded
as the Sakha Junior Academy of Sciences. The teachers and
students of Moscow Institute of Physics and Technology,
the Lomonosov Moscow State University and Yakutsk State
University greatly contributed to the development of the
Forum. Amongst them are the former prize-winners of
Tuymaada: graduates of Yakutsk State University Aleksandr
Mokhnachevsky and Aleksey Grigoriev, graduates of Moscow
Institute of Physics and Technology Aysen Tatarinov, Aleksandr
Larionov, Mikhail Kharbanov, and Maksim Ryndin.
In 2001, Aleksandr Mokhnachevsky and Aysen Tatarinov,
prize-winners and participants of Tuymaada Olympiad, the
students of Viktor Potapov, a teacher of the Republican Lyceum-
Boarding School and a member of the Physics Jury and Physics
Methodological Commission of the Olympiad, joined the
Russian physics team. Today, they are actively involved in the
training of young people for olympiads. Their students Aysen
Popov, Pyotr Sivtsev, Mikhail Kharbanov, Viktor Ivanov, Stepan
Sidorov, and Timur Grigoriev are also winners and prize-
winners of Tuymaada Olympiad. The Olympiad served as a
model for organizing the 1st International Zhautykov Olympiad
in Mathematics, Physics and Computer Science in 2005, in
which Ivanov Viktor, a prize-winner of Tuymaada Olympiad,
became an absolute winner.
I would like to acknowledge the work of the first members
of the Physics Jury. Their professional competence and hu-
man decency enhanced the prestige of the Olympiad. Dr. Kim
Popov, Candidate of Science in Chemistry, Permanent Chair of
the Organizing Committee of the Republican Physics Olym-
piad, became the first Chair of the Physics Jury, followed by
Dr. Semyon Semyonov, Candidate of Science in Physics and
Mathematics, and Professor Valery Syromyatnikov, Doctor of
