Documenting the search for Tunguska meteorite

In 1939, he participated as an artist in the last Leonid Kulik’s expedition for the search of Tunguska "meteorite" (it is still a controversy what exactly caused the event). Later, in 1984 and 1988, he also participated in the Tunguska meteorite expeditions under the guidance of Academician Vasiliev. His paintings describing eye witness reports and later scientific theories were exhibited in many museums and used in several books.

Textiles

Nikolay's textiles were produced for many years by the Moscow Weaving and Finishing Complex (MTOK) and widely used. Some textile samples were purchased by the Moscow Film Studio (Mosfilm) and utilized in many popular films as curtains at the set. One textile based on French classical tapestry was used in the popular Russian TV series "Twelve Chairs".
