Mikhail Ptukha

Mikhail Ptukha (also transliterated as Mykhailo Ptukha; 7 November 1884 – 3 October 1961) was a Ukrainian statistician and demographer. He most notably helped found the Demographic Institute of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, which he was the dean of from 1919 until 1938 following its liquidation. Born in Oster in the Russian Empire Ptukha first started working in statistics during his years at the local gymnasium, working in the statistics section of the Chernihiv zemstvo bureau. In 1906 he entered the Faculty of Law at St. Petersburg University, where he graduated from in 1910, afterward studying abroad in Western Europe until 1914. In 1916 he defended his master's thesis, and in that same year, he began working for the newly created Perm University as a professor in political economy and statistics, which he did until the Russian Revolution. He moved back to Ukraine during the revolution, working as a professor at the Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and the People's University of Ukraine. In 1919 he became the dean of the newly created Demographic Institute of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences, and so in the 1920s he started working on collaborating the institute with the International Statistical Institute. During the Great Purge, he was arrested many times and eventually the institute was liquidated, which led him in 1940 to start working at the Department of Statistics of the Institute of Economics and become the Department of Social Sciences. He officially retired in 1950, although he continued to do statistical work until his death in 1961.
