The young man received a scholarship, so he was obliged to work for five years as a national teacher. The fate of the future academician was determined by a chance find. A friend of the local priest, Ivan found geological literature in his attic. A relative of the priest, who had gone to Siberia, had forgotten it. According to Gubkin , what he read in the books literally "consumed" him, making him want more information in the field.

THE START OF A SCIENTIFIC CAREER Ivan Mikhailovich was the first to systematize knowledge of geology in Russia and founded the national oil geology and scientific school. His fundamental work was the Doctrine of Oil, which developed the main provisions of the theory of the origin of oil deposits and conditions of their formation. Ivan Mikhailovich suggested a rationale for the possibility of developing new oil fields, and he also supervised the study of the anomaly In Kursk.

In 1908, Gubkin worked in the Maikop oil-bearing region under the supervision of renowned geologist K. I. Bogdanovich . This work largely determined the future fate of Ivan Mikhailovich - he became an oil geologist. During his work in Maikop , Anapsko-Temryuksky and Tamansky oil-bearing areas. Gubkin was the first to apply the method of constructing a subsurface relief map, he clarified questions of geological history of the tertiary period of the entire Caucaus . Since 1913 Ivan Mikhailovich was engaged in exploration on the Apsheronsky peninsula. He discovered the string or channel type of deposits and diapir structures with piercing nuclei. While studying the mud volcanoes of Apsheron , Gubkin came to the conclusion that mud volcanoes were associated with oil bearing.

As a result of these studies, Ivan Gubkin was promoted to the rank of Supervising Counsellor and to the rank of Geologist of the Geological Committee in 1915, which represented the highest geological qualification and corresponded to the rank of professor.

A SCIENTIST'S GENIUS ACHIEVEMENT Important theoretical and practical meaning is assigned to the scientist's works concerning creation of an oil base in the region of the Volga and the Urals. In the early 20s of the XX century, Ivan Mikhailovich proposed to make a mandatory detailed study of geology of the region. His theories about the importance of the region were based on scientific generalization of materials concerning the geological structure of the territory. Later the academician was in charge of oil prospecting.

Along with this, some deposits and their study Gubkin Ivan Mikhailovich was personally involved. A fundamental work by the scholar entitled "Ural-Volga oil-bearing area" was created on the basis of his research activities. It vividly illustrated the great opportunities and potential that could be unlocked by extracting oil in the areas he mentioned. Before him, there had been little interest in the region in terms of oil production, and the work subsequently carried out proved extremely important for the Soviet Union during wartime.

Today, almost everyone in the famous geologist's homeland knows who Ivan Mikhailovich Gubkin is. The awards honouring the academician for his most important contribution to science and industry are the Order of Lenin and the Order of the Red Banner of Labour . Institutes, libraries, streets and the town are named after him. Where Ivan Gubkin's home used to be, there is now a park with a memorial bust. Compatriots are extremely proud of the fact that they are close to such a famous and deserving person; they organize excursions to important places. Ivan Mikhailovich Gubkin is undoubtedly a remarkable personality, whose success story is capable of inspiring and motivating so many people to do courageous things.
