Valentin Andreevich Pripachkin came to work at the Geological Institute of the Kola Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciencesin the early 60s of the twentieth century. He made a successful career in science —he defended his PhD thesis, was the head of the laboratory, scientific secretary and deputy director of the Geological Institute, deputy head of the Department of Geology of the Apatity branch of the Murmansk State Technical University. However, the article is devoted to what Valentin Pripachkin and his peers were outside of their main work —on sports grounds, in amateur groups and informal creative unions.
