Our mining industry has been built by women as well as men. A mining processing engineer, a graduate of the Leningrad Mining Institute, a specialist in the field of ore flotation, sorption, and extraction, head of the Department of General and Physical Chemistry of the Mining Institute for 16 years (1966–1981), and a participant in the Great Patriotic War, Galina Viktorinovna Illuvieva will be remembered by generations to come as an outstanding researcher, a talented leader, and a mentor. The article systematizes documentary material on the life of Galina Illuvieva and analyzes her contribution in the scientific and pedagogical fields. Her research resulted in improved technology for the complex processing of ores at a number of deposits of ferrous, non-ferrous, and rare metals, and coal. Under the leadership of Galina Illuvieva, the Department of General and Physical Chemistry reached a new milestone in significantly increasing its material and technical resources and the amount of work commissioned by the industry and ensuring the successful defense of candidate dissertations on urgent scientific and technical topics. As a teacher, Galina Illuvieva enjoyed high prestige and respect among students. During the war, she worked selflessly as a scrub nurse in the besieged Leningrad at the Military Medical Academy and at the evacuation hospital. Galina Illuvieva was awarded two medals for her courage during the Great Patriotic War and held the Order of Lenin and multiple medals for outstanding scientific, pedagogical, and social work.
