After graduating from high school №1 in Simferopol (Autonomous Republic of Crimea.) In 1965 he entered the Institute of Painting, Sculpture and Architecture. To painting came at once, under the influence of the atmosphere of art, prevailing in the higher and the best educational institution, and comrades - artists, for which I am grateful to all.
November 19, 1969 began his solitary expedition to the Central karst plateau (Ay Petri, Crimea), which lasted 153 days. During this time, created more than 150 paintings. His studies at the institute were put on the back burner.
The attempt found the support of his relatives, especially his close friend and teacher, Georgy Sidorkin (1940-2000), a talented artist, architect and philosopher.
In 1971, was accepted by E.E. Moiseenko in the battle studio as a free student and rider. The training took place under the guidance of permanent and outstanding artists and teachers - P.T. Fomin and P.P. Belousov.

Three months before my diploma, under the strongest pressure from the "gray cardinal" of art - the vice-president of the Academy of Arts of the USSR, Comrade. С. S. Kemenov, with the support and perhaps at the institute's instigation, the theme of my graduation thesis was banned. The action was directed personally against E.E.Moiseenko because simultaneously, in this year, diplomas on creativity of V.M.Oreshnikov, I.A.Serebryannyj, J.M.Neprintsev and other teachers of institute were protected. The defense took place under the banner of a new theme - "Theory and Practice of V.A. Favorsky's Creation".
