Article from the website of the Mekhmat of Moscow State University
Otto Yulievich Schmidt (September 18 (30), 1891, Mogilev - September 7, 1956, Moscow) - Soviet scientist, mathematician, geographer, geophysicist, astronomer. Explorer of the Pamirs (1928), explorer of the North.

You can read about the expedition on the Chelyuskin here:
www.pravda.ru/society/fashion/models/03-10-2012...
I will insert only a small fragment from there, which made an indelible impression on me.

"Chelyuskin" drifted along with the crew for almost five months - from September 23 to February 13, 1934, when it was crushed by ice. The ship sank in two hours. Fortunately, the crew, ready for such a development of events, prepared everything in advance for unloading on the ice. The last to leave the Chelyuskin were Schmidt, Voronin and the supply manager of the expedition, Boris Grigoryevich Mogilevich.
As a result of the disaster, 104 people were on the ice. From the bricks and boards rescued from the ship, the expedition members built barracks. The camp was evacuated with the help of aviation: on March 5, pilot Anatoly Lyapidevsky on an ANT-4 aircraft made his way to the camp and removed ten women and two children from the ice floe.
The next flight was made only on April 7th. For a week, pilots Vasily Molokov, Nikolai Kamanin, Mauritius Slepnev, Mikhail Vodopyanov and Ivan Doronin took the rest of the Chelyuskinites to the mainland. The last flight was made on April 13, 1934. In total, the pilots made 24 flights, transporting people to the Vankarem camp in Chukchi, one and a half hundred kilometers from the ice camp.
Under the leadership of Otto Yulievich Schmidt, all 104 people who spent two months on an ice floe in the polar winter were saved. Those arriving from the ice floe, primarily women, children and the sick, were sent by plane further to the village of Uelen, and then to the bays of Lawrence and Providence.
The remaining 53 most physically strong members of the expedition made a 500-kilometer walk from Vankarem to Uelen, and some further - to the bays of Lawrence and Providence, where steamboats were waiting for them.
Moving for 14-16 hours on uneven ice, falling into cracks, climbing on all fours on steep coastal cliffs, spending the night in the snow without tents, suffering from frostbite and injuries, not being able to hide from a blizzard, people walked up to 70 kilometers a day. 16 people were hospitalized upon arrival at Providence Bay.

From Wikipedia, I just want to insert a portrait of Otto Yulievich Schmidt by Mikhail Nesterov (1937):

Links, interesting and different
1. Historical truth There is little text here, but a very good photo!
2. Otto Yulievich Schmidt // One Hundred Great Navigators. - M. : Veche, 2002. - S. 478-483. PDF file. Very interesting.
3. Sigurd Schmidt: Otto Yulievich Schmidt was a Renaissance figure Interview with O.Yu. Schmidt. I highly and highly recommend.
4.Chelyuskin.ru A whole site dedicated to "Chelyuskin" and everything connected with it.
5. About Kolmogorov, Sobolev, Komarov, Vinogradov, Otto Yulievich Schmidt and Comrade Stalin A rather strange reference, but I hope all readers have quite critical thinking

Quote from an interview with Sigurd Schmidt
Bernard Shaw, having met the Soviet ambassador to Great Britain Ivan Maisky, exclaimed: “What kind of country are you! The polar tragedy was turned into a national celebration! For the role of the protagonist of the ice drama, they found a real Santa Claus with a big beard. I assure you that Schmidt's beard has won you thousands of new friends!"

And the last remark.
The Gram-Schmidt orthogonalization process and the Hilbert-Schmidt operator have nothing to do with Otto Yulievich
The authorship here belongs to the German mathematician Erhard Schmidt.

A real person is always drawn to where it is difficult? And why is it so difficult for everyone in this life? and got the best answer

Answer from Angelica A[guru]
A person does not pull where it is difficult. It's just through difficulties that you become a real person, unless of course you break down from these difficulties. The more pain, the more wisdom comes. Difficulties are given to each person according to his strength.
