Figovsky Olegis a member of NACE society (1992), foreign member of Russian Academy of A&B Sciences (1995), Russian Engineering Academy (2001), European Academy of Sciences (2004), editor-in-chief of the journal "Scientific Israel - Technological Advantages" and “Innovation in Corrosion znd Materials Science”, member of the editorial boards of a few international journals (Polish, Ukraine, Russia).

Oleg Figovsky was born on April 9, 1940 in Moscow into a family of engineering intellectuals. Started to work at the age of 18 in NII Mosstroy. At the same age of 18 he has created his first invention "Plast-asphalt concrete." When 20, he made his first scientific report on the seminar of Vice President of RAASN S.S. Davydov.

He graduated from the Faculty of Technology VZISI, continuing to work while studying in NII Mosstroy; During this period he wrote the book "The polyether and polyurethane resins in construction" and has created more than 25 inventions, incl. glue "Bustilat", which was produced by more than 20 plants in the USSR.

After graduation Oleg Figovsky went to work in the corrosion protection laboratory of VNIPI "Teploproekt", and established a scientific school on the chemical resistance of non-metallic materials. After defending his doctoral dissertation he joined the Central Research Institute for industrial buildings of USSR State Building Committee, where he created a series of original compositions and structures of monolithic flooring, has published two books on the floors of industrial buildings and created more than 40 inventions in the field of materials for corrosion protection.

Since 1981, he headed the Department of non-metallic materials of Interdisciplinary Scientific Research Complex "Antikor" of SCST, USSR, where paid special attention to the development of materials for extreme conditions, including nuclear and space industries. Wrote the book "Corrosion service of enterprises" and has created more than 50 inventions, most of which was mastered by industry. At the same time he taught at the Department of Organic Building Materials and Plastics of MICI VV and supervised a number of Ph.D. works.

In 1986 he moved to VNIIN of the USSR Ministry of Chemical Industry as Head of Department "Problems of corrosion protection", while at the same time acting as Deputy Director of the Institute for the coordination of all works on corrosion protection in this ministry.
