Description
Summary:This brief essay presents some materials of topographer I. G. Dorofeev, who worked in 1920s‑1930s in the Pamirs as a member of the well-known Tajik-Pamir expedition. These materials demonstrate that Russia did not just “contribute,” but discovered the Pamirs for the sc ience. Russian researchers were the first to map the ridges and peaks, valleys and glaciers of this mountain area. The list of geographical objects, which were firstly mapped by I. G. Dorofeev, as well as five objects bearing his name are presented. В кратком очерке опубликованы некоторые материалы топографа И. Г. Дорофеева, работавшего в 1920–30-х годах на Памире в составе знаменитой Таджикско-Памирской экспедиции. Они свидетельствуют о том, что Россия не просто “внесла вклад”, но открыла Памир для науки, а русские исследователи первыми нанесли на карту его хребты, вершины, долины и ледники. Приведен перечень географических объектов, впервые нанесенных на карту И. Г. Дорофеевым, и список пяти объектов, впоследствии получивших имя Дорофеева.
