Valeriya Golubtsova
Summary
Valeriya Alexeyevna Golubtsova (15 May 1901 in Nizhny Novgorod — 1 October 1987 in Моscow) was a scientist who was the director of the Moscow Power Engineering Institute from 1943 to 1952. She was the wife of Georgy Malenkov.
Golubtsova was born in Nizhny Novgorod in the family of a teacher in the cadet corps, State Councilor Alexei Golubtsov (1852–1924), and Olga Nevzorova, who was a member of an old noble family. Nevzorova's older sisters were the famous "Nevzorov sisters" (Zinaida, Sophia, and Augustine) — Vladimir Lenin's comrades-in-arms in Marxist circles back in the 1890s. Zinaida married Gleb Кrzhizhanovky in 1899, who in the 1920s headed the GOELRO Commission.
The Golubtsov family raised five children: Lyudmila, Valeriya, Roman, Vyacheslav (later Professor of the Moscow Power Engineering Institute, corresponding member of the Аcademy of Sciences of the Soviet Union), and Elena.
In 1917, Golubtsova graduated from a gym in Nizhny Novgorod, and then did library courses. Since 1920, during the Russian Civil War, she worked as a librarian on the Тurkestan Front, and in the agit-train of the cavalry brigade, she met the Commissar, Georgy Malenkov. In 1920, she married him (though without official registration until her death, and the preservation of her maiden name) and joined the Communist Party of the Soviet Union.
After moving to Moscow in 1921, Golubtsova got a job at the Organizing Department of the Central Committee at got a separate room in the Loskutnaya Hotel on Тverskaya Street— the center of the Moscow Communist bohemia. Malenkov then entered the Bauman Moscow State Technical University (the couple decided to graduate one-by-one). From 1928 to 1930, she worked as a standardizer at the Moscow Metallurgical Plant.
In 1930, at the direction of the party organization, Golubtsova entered the Moscow Power Engineering Institute, where, as a student, she took the post of Secretary of the Institute Organization of the CPSU. After graduating in 1934, she worked as an engineer at the Dynamo Plant until 1936.
