Abstract
The history of the development of and main results of studies of the radio emission of the Sun at the Institute of Terrestrial Magnetism, the Ionosphere and Radio-Wave Propagation (IZMIRAN) is briefly laid out, beginning with the earliest studies in the 1940s. The importance of regular observations of solar activity that have continued since that time at IZMIRAN is emphasised.

Given the first finding above, the solar eclipse observed at metre wavelengths effectively begins earlier and ends later than the optical eclipse (first and fourth contacts).
- 2.
Due to cloudy weather, it was not possible to carry out optical observations of the eclipse during the Brazilian expedition.

Recall that the Main Astronomical Observatory in Pulkovo and the Crimean Astrophysical Observatory in Simeiz were not operational in the years immediately following the end of the war. Regular observations of the Sun were obtained during World War II only in Tashkent and at NIIZM (in the Urals) before 1945, and then in subsequent years near Moscow, not far from the village Krasnaya Pakhra (now Troitsk) after the return of evacuees to this region.

One consultant during the construction of the first modulation solar magnetograph at NIIZM was G. S. Gorelik, who was working in Gorkii at that time (which was then a closed city).
