When teaching electroanalysis, always reference should be made to its history, which mainly started with polarography. Since Tatyana Kryukova played an important role in the development of polarography, students should be made aware of her life. The scientific achievements of Kryukova on polarographic maxima, her principal scientific field will be discussed in a paper, written by Galina Tsirlina (for ChemTexts). Here, we provide information about the biography of Tatyana Kryukova and her relatives, her studies and work, difficulties of fate and creative successes, and the most significant achievements in polarography and education in electrochemistry. In the material preceding the biographical data, the state of polarography in the USSR in the mid-1930s is considered. It was a time when the hardships and problems of researchers were largely due to politics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
