Biography
[edit]Tsintsius was born in Ligovo, St. Petersburg. [1] She graduated from the ethnographic department of the geography faculty of the Leningrad State University, and taught Tungusic languages at the Institute of the Peoples of the North. In 1937-1939 she was imprisoned on false charges of counter-revolutionary propaganda among students of the Institute. [2] In 1941 she defended her Ph.D. thesis “Even language. Grammar. (Phonetics and Morphology)”; in 1944 - her doctoral dissertation ‘Comparative Phonetics of the Tunguso-Manchurian Languages’ (published in 1949). In 1972, she was awarded the Indiana University Prize for achievements in the field of Altaic studies (the so-called “PIAC Gold Medal”). N. N. Poppe described V. I. Tsintsius as “the most outstanding researcher in the field of Tungusic languages”, who possessed “extensive knowledge of the material and modern methods of comparative linguistics”[3]. From 1972, Tsintsius was an honorary member of the Kőrösi Csoma Scientific Society of Hungarian Orientalists.
