1947

In 1947 at age 16, she passed the entrance examination to Moscow University, but enrolled to study mathematics at the National University of Kyiv (KSU) as her parents did not want her to move so far away.

She joined a rocket and aerodynamics group, doing multiple parachute jumps.

1948

While a student in Kyiv in 1948, she was arrested on charges of Ukrainian nationalism, and was a political prisoner in a gulag in Eastern Siberia for six years.

Virchenko also became involved in the movement for Ukrainian independence from the Soviet Union, writing and distributing leaflets, which led to her imprisonment in a gulag for political prisoners from December 1948 to January 1954.

When she was released, she was not allowed to return to university, and taught mathematics in village high schools.

Virchenko was denounced to the Soviet secret police, NKVD, and was arrested in June 1948 with a group of teachers and other students.

She was imprisoned in Lukyanivska Prison.

In December, she was sentenced to 10 years' prison on political charges, and sent to the Ozerlag gulag for political prisoners in Tayshet, Eastern Siberia.

Conditions and treatment in the gulag were brutal.

Prisoners were given numbers, and names were not used: hers was R-840.

There was no radio and no newspapers, and prisoners had no writing paper.

Virchenko created poetry, which was shared orally among the prisoners, and she also taught mathematics, drawing in sand or snow with a stick.

She was released after six years because she had been convicted as a minor.

She and her husband, who was also a former Gulag detainee, were subjected to KGB surveillance in a later wave of repression of Ukrainian academics.

Virchenko continued to support fellow prisoners, and were outspoken advocates on rights and the freedom and welfare of political prisoners.

Virchenko was the Chair of the scientific and methodological council of the All-Ukrainian Association for Political Prisoners and Victims of Repression.

1956

On her return to Kyiv, she was able to return to university in 1956, going on to graduate school in 1961.

She went on to study mathematics and become a professor of mathematics at Kyiv Polytechnic Institute.

In 1965, Virchenko became an assistant professor in mathematics at KSU.

1974

From 1974 to 1990, she was an assistant professor of mathematics at then National Technical University of Ukraine (now called Igor Sikorsky Kyiv Polytechnic Institute), promoted to professor in 1990.

1988

Virchenko was finally awarded her PhD in 1988, with a dissertation on integral equations.

As well as mathematical studies, she has published on the history of mathematics and repressed mathematicians in Ukraine, as well as books for the general public.

She was awarded a PhD in 1988, for her dissertation, Dual (Triple) Integral Equations (in Russian).

Virchenko's studies included special functions, integral equations, and partial differential equations.

As well as over 350 scientific publications in mathematics, Virchenko has published articles and books on the history of mathematics, including for the general public.

This includes a book on mathematical aphorisms and quotes, published in three languages.

1992

She wrote a book about him, organized a series of international mathematical meetings in his honor from 1992, the 100th anniversary of his birth, and advocated for a monument in his honor.

Virchenko was also the scientific advisor for a documentary Oleksandr Riabokrys, called "Голгофа академіка Кравчука" (Academic Kravchuk Calvary).
