- The collector, bibliophile, literary scholar, and researcher of local history Sergei Zenonovich Lushchik was born in 1925 in Odessa. He graduated from the Odessa Naval Engineers’ Institute (department of ship engineering) in 1948, and until 1981 worked as a ship’s engineer-mechanic at various institutions of the dredging fleet and in the ports of Astrakhan, Riga, and Odessa; and published articles on his work experience in technical journals and collections. He began to study Odessa’s twentieth-century cultural history in the late 1950s, and became a member of the Odessa Collectors’ Society (1959), the Odessa Archeological Society (1960), the book research section of the Odessa Scholars’ House (1967; an honorary member since 1987), and the board of the All-Russian Bibliophiles’ Association (1990-92).
