Tatyana Mikhailovna Frunze (Russian: Татьяна Михайловна Фрунзе; 2 August 1920 – 15 January 2024) was a Soviet and Russian organic chemist, Doctor of Chemical Sciences, professor (1969). She was the daughter of Mikhail Frunze.
Early life and career
Tatyana Mikhailovna Frunze was born into the family of People's Commissar of Military and Naval Affairs Mikhail Frunze. After the death of her father (1925) and mother (1926), together with her younger brother Timur, she lived with her grandmother for some time, and after her death, the children were adopted by family friend Klim Voroshilov.{{Cite web |title="Хочу быть похороненным на Красной площади…" // В.

According to the memoirs of Semyon Budyonny, she studied at the Military Academy of Chemical Defense of the Red Army, and during the war she worked at one of the tank factories.{{Cite book |last=Семен |first=Будённый |title=Пройдённый путь.

Zelinsky Institute of Organic Chemistry, carried out research on the chemistry of polyamides, and defended her Candidate of Sciences thesis on this topic.
In 1954, she moved to the newly founded Institute of Organoelement Compounds, and a few years later she defended her doctoral dissertation on the topic “Research in the field of synthetic heterochain polyamides.” (Исследование в области синтетических гетероцепных полиамидов). In 1964, she headed the newly created laboratory of polymerization processes at the institute.{{Cite book |title=Институт элементоорганических соединений имени А. Н.

For several years she was a member of the Expert Council of the Higher Attestation Commission on Organic Chemistry and a member of the Council on Macromolecular Compounds under the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences.
In addition to scientific work, she was engaged in social work: from 1968 to 1991 she was deputy chairman of the Committee of Soviet Women. She also took part in preserving the legacy of M. V. Frunze.{{Cite web |title=94-летняя дочь Михаила Фрунзе готова приехать в Бишкек на юбилей отца // А.

Scientific research
Frunze's scientific interests were related to the chemistry of macromolecular compounds. She studied polycondensation reactions, in particular those occurring during the synthesis of polyamides, together with her colleagues she obtained many new polyamides (for example, caprolite{{Cite web |title=Капролит-РМ — новый конструкционный материал // «Пластические массы», № 9, 1976 |url=http://viam.ru/public/files/1975/1975-196983.pdf |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20170202021044/http://viam.ru/public/files/1975/1975-196983.pdf |archive-date=2 February 2017}} and declon) and, based on a study of the dependence of the properties of these compounds on their structure, proposed a concept that allows these properties to be changed as needed. In addition, she studied the polymerization of vinyl compounds and heterocycles.
Author of the monograph “Synthetic heterochain polyamides” (1962, together with Vasiliy Korshak), a large number of scientific papers, and several inventions.
