Grinberg Moysey Solomonovich (30.04.1905, Tulchin, Vinnytsia Oblast, Ukraine — date and place of death unknown) — organic chemist, manager of chemical enterprises. Born into a family of white-collar workers. In 1928, graduated from the production department of the Odessa Chemical and Pharmaceutical Institute (now — the pharmaceutical faculty of Zaporizhzhia Medical University), receiving a diploma in organic chemistry. In 1927–1929, worked as technical secretary, then as building manager of the housing and construction cooperative “Prosveshchenets” [Enlightener] in Odessa. In 1929–1936 — chemist at a workshop laboratory, shift engineer, then head of a workshop at the “Krasnoye Znamya” [Red Banner] chemical plant in the city of Rubizhne, Luhansk Oblast (Ukraine). In 1936–1942, held key positions at the “Akrikhin” plant in the settlement of Kupavna, Moscow Oblast. (The founding date of this plant is considered to be 19 October 1936, when the first industrial batch of the drug acrikhin, intended to combat malaria, was produced. In subsequent years, alongside the production of acrikhin at the Kupavna plant, production was mastered of white and red sulphonamide (1939), sulphadiazine, narcotic ether (1940), rivanol (1941) and other preparations. At the beginning of the Great Patriotic War, using equipment left after the evacuation, production of the incendiary liquid “KS,” known as the “Molotov cocktail,” was organized within three days.) In June 1942, M. Grinberg was arrested and held in custody until February 1943. After his release, he returned to the Akrikhin plant, where in 1943–1949 he worked as senior engineer, deputy head and head of the technical production department, chief engineer and head of a workshop. In 1949–1961 — head of the technical production department and chief engineer of a chemical and pharmaceutical plant in Anzhero-Sudzhensk, Kemerovo Oblast. In 1961, moved to Riga, where he worked as chief technologist at the Experimental Plant of the Institute of Organic Synthesis of the Academy of Sciences of the Latvian SSR.
