[1] SIBNIA came into existence in 1941 when the Central Aerohydrodynamics Institute (TsAGI) was evacuated to Novosibirsk to escape from the German advance on Moscow.
Sergey Chaplygin, the second director of TsAGI, died in Novosibirsk on 8 October 1942 and was buried in front of SIBNIA's main administration building.
