Zhukova Olga Trofimovna
"Since childhood, I loved water, adored nature, always spent time outside the city. There was a small rivulet, and for hours I lay on my stomach and peered into the clear water to see the newts. Previously, you could see those underwater animals, which now can only be found in the red book. For the first time, when I put on a mask and saw all this beauty, I was chained to water for a century. This is how it slowly started off. A whole group was organized: Suetin Victor, Kapitsa Sergey, Pantekorvo Bruno Maximovich. We saw Cousteau’s first films, read wonderful books about the underwater world, and prepared for the summer seasons. With the help of workshops, they made the first apparatuses, scuba gears of the Cousteau type, and their own compressor. By that time I had already received the rights of a submariner and a diver of the 3rd class and I was invited to the test group. It was 1958 or 1957, I don’t remember exactly. I was in Gurzuf - two divers and I am the third. I was allowed to swim for scuba diving. First, at a 5-meter depth, then at a 10-meter depth, then at a 15-meter, at a 20-meter. And it was not so simple, because, for example, at a depth of 20 meters it took about 10 minutes without any wetsuit to be under water, and it was quite cold there ..."

By the decision of the jury of the Russian National Prize “Underwater World”, OJSC “Respirator Production and Design Enterprise was awarded the title of laureate in the nomination“ The Best Manufacturer of Domestic Equipment ”
An interesting fact - immediately after the award, a very cheerful and smiling woman approached the CEO of Respirator with sincere gratitude for the scuba gear AVM -1 created on the Respirator. Olga Trofimovna Zhukova is the first tester of this breathing apparatus. She remembered her visit to the plant in 1957, about meetings with designers Kitaev and Soldatenkov. A doctor by profession, a candidate of medical sciences, a test submariner, at the age of 80 she continues to dive.
- This winter in the Indian Ocean, I dived to a depth of 28 meters with a respiratory scuba gear! He never let me down, ”said Olga Trofimovna. - By the way, foreign divers also prefer AVM. Congratulations on the award! She is rightly deserved!
O.T. Zhukova, of course, was right when she noted that the underwater world can get sick just like pilots get sick in the sky

Olga Trofimovna Zhukova. This legendary woman in 1957 on the Black Sea participated in the tests of the first domestic scuba gear AVM1, developed in OrekhovoZuev. Now NPP Respirator OJSC was handed over to the famous submariner as a valuable gift for scuba gear of the latest model of domestic production AVM15. According to her, he turned out to be very helpful: soon Olga Trofimovna will go diving into the sea.

The name of Olga Trofimovna Zhukova is known today to the entire underwater brethren. Her underwater experience is almost 60 years! From 1957 to 1971, she headed (first!) The first spearfishing section at the Central Marine Club of DOSAAF, and then the Commission for Sports underwater shooting at DOSAAF of the USSR. Author of the first book in the country about spearfishing (“Spearfishing”, 1959). One of the first underwater photographers in the country: her works were published in domestic and foreign mass media. She took part in the tests of the first Soviet scuba diving AVM-1. Currently - a member of the Russian Federation of Underwater Fisheries, membership card No. A-77011.
The underwater history of this unique woman is, without exaggeration, the history of Russian spearfishing. Everything happened at the same time. To a large extent, thanks to her personal influence, some Moscow factories took up the production of the first domestic models of underwater equipment and weapons. Many Soviet citizens in the middle of the last century first saw photographs of the underwater world made by Olga Trofimovna on the pages of newspapers and magazines. Technique for underwater shooting had to be invented, invented and tinkered with. So, its first underwater unit consisted of a FED-2 camera and a rubber heating pad. The second - from the camera "Practice" and a car camera. In approximately the same way, all other underwater equipment was invented and developed.
However, admiring such a boisterous activity in the underwater field, one should not think that everything else feminine and human was forgotten, forgotten. Zhukova studies, becomes a surgeon. He defends his thesis, actively practices, occupying the post of head of the department in a prestigious metropolitan clinic. Both the family and the daughter, and then the grandchildren, are all like people. It was possible to envy her circle of communication and its intensity in those early years, for the capital's intelligentsia constituted a huge percentage of the first domestic underwater hunters. In particular, her friends (and sectional subordinates) were famous scientists B. Pantekorvo, A. Nekdal, A. Tamm, S. Kapitsa.

thanks to the efforts of enthusiasts, in 1957 a spearfishing section was created at the Central Marine Club of DOSAAF, which later grew into a Sports Underwater Shooting Section in the Federation of Underwater Sports at the DOSAAF USSR. The first head of these organizations was a wonderful athlete, candidate of medical sciences Zhukova Olga Trofimovna. Through the efforts of Zhukova and her associates, they managed to defend spearfishing and even agree with the directors of several Moscow factories on the release of the first domestic underwater equipment.
In 1959, the first book about our passion was published in the USSR. It was called: "Spearfishing." Its author Olga Zhukova was an excellent athlete and for the first 12 years she headed the country's main underwater hunting organization - the Sports Underwater Shooting Section at the USSR DOSAAF. So, somehow at the beginning of last winter Olga Trofimovna calls me and invites me to hunt. After an hour, we were already riding her Niva to the nearest unfrozen pond, and after two we pulled on wetsuits: I was “dry” and she was “wet”. Snow was falling, a piercing wind was blowing, on the water near the shore - ice. And this woman, now far in her 70s, dressed in equipment, pulled on flippers and climbed into the water! And this is not recklessness, not senile, excuse me, insanity: the doctor herself, a candidate of medical sciences, she knows what she is doing. This is what the call of the soul means and the beneficial effects of spearfishing.
