Abstract
This article opens a series of publications dedicated to the young people who entered the newly created Hydrographic Institute of the Northern Sea Route in 1935 and received diplomas as hydrographic engineers in 1938–1940. The first graduates of the Hydrographic Institute made a significant contribution to the study of the Arctic, fought on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War, taught at universities, and conducted research work. In literary sources, with rare exceptions, “students-interns of the Hydrographic Institute” are mentioned. The main objective of this article is to “return names”, many of which can be found today on the geographical map of the Arctic Ocean. This article presents professors and their students, as well as describes the process of studying at the Institute during first years of its operation.
