Fyodor Filipovich Koinyukhov is a Russian traveler, writer, artist, free balloon pilot, priest of the Ukrainian Orthodox Church. He made 5 voyages around the world, crossed the Atlantic 17 times, and once on a rowing boat.

Slide 4

The thirst for travel, especially sea travel, lived in Fyodor from early childhood. Standing at the helm of a fishing boat, Fyodor peered into the Azov distance and dreamed of visiting the opposite bank of Azov. At the age of fifteen, he made his first expedition - he crossed the Sea of ​​Azov on a rowing boat alone. I prepared for this for several years - I devoted almost all my free time to rowing, sailing and swimming. He was actively involved in football and athletics, and slept almost all seasons in the hayloft. Fyodor also loved to read and voraciously “swallowed” books by Jules Verne, Stanyukovich, Goncharov and other marine writers and travelers.

Fedor graduated from the Odessa Naval School and received a specialty as a ship mechanic. Then he studied at the polar school in Leningrad to become a navigator. And then - service in the Baltic Fleet.

The first serious expedition took place in 1977, when he sailed in the Pacific Ocean and repeated the route of Vitus Bering. Being a patriot, the pathfinder sought to reproduce all the conditions in which our compatriots, more than three hundred years ago, sailed on fragile boats, discovered islands and bays, explored America and founded settlements there.

When Fyodor Konyukhov was a youth, his grandfather Mikhail, a lieutenant colonel in the tsarist army, said that he served in the same garrison with senior lieutenant Georgy Sedov, the famous Russian polar explorer. And he left Mikhail Konyukhov with a pectoral cross with a request to give it to the strongest and bravest of the children who could reach the Pole... Sedov’s will was fulfilled by Fyodor Konyukhov. In 1990, Konyukhov set off on his journey to his cherished goal on skis. Despite the difficulties, with Sedov’s cross on his neck, Fyodor Konyukhov steadily approached the North Pole and after 72 days reached it, becoming the first person in the world to

The next goal of Fedor Konyukhov was the South Pole. In 1995, the brave explorer went on a solo expedition to Antarctica, eventually reaching the extreme southern point of the planet on the 59th day of the trip and planting the Russian flag there. Based on the results of the expedition, Fyodor Konyukhov wrote several scientific papers that made an invaluable contribution to the development of polar science. For his research activities and scientific works after this expedition, Konyukhov was accepted as an honorary member of the Russian Geographical Society.
