Кузьминский Франц Александрович — NIIDAR «Наша гордость» memorial page

NIIDAR’s own memorial page for its former director, and the closest thing to a primary document online: it quotes Kuzminsky’s April 1982 autobiography verbatim (born 2 February 1922 in Pokatilovo, Kirovohrad oblast; school in Uman; MAI from 1939; Red Army volunteer July 1941, all-war air-defence service; MAI diploma April 1949; KB-1 from January 1950; NII-37 chief engineer December 1963; chief designer of theme 5N77 August 1968; NIIDAR director February 1975), plus the ministerial orders, the 1970 institutional character reference, and Pleshakov’s 24 August 1981 order relieving him as director.
