Story Russian science
2:64According to the project of Peter I, the Academy was significantly different from all related foreign organizations. She was government agency; its members, receiving a salary, were supposed to provide scientific and technical services to the state. The Academy has combined functions scientific research and training , incorporating a university and a gymnasium. On December 27, 1725, the Academy celebrated its creation with a large public meeting. It was a solemn act of the emergence of a new attribute of Russian state life.
2:1020 2:1025Peter I, loving his Motherland and putting every effort into its development and prosperity, allowed the offspring of not only noble families, but also commoners, should enter the Academy. Moreover, for successful activities in mastering knowledge and arts, the king honored with his mercy.
2:1528The Academy of Sciences and Arts studied the laws of the surrounding world and society, the essence of man and public consciousness, and also led publishing activities. All this had a beneficial effect and continues to influence today. social development countries and economic growth, progress in technology, and international connections.
2:561In 1925, the institution of Peter I changed its name to the USSR Academy of Sciences, and since 1991 it has been called Russian Academy Sciences, RAS.
2:797 2:802Science Day in the Soviet Union
2:863IN Soviet Russia there was a tradition of celebrating the country's successes in the scientific field. The 3rd Sunday in April,
since in April 1918, in the interval from the 18th to the 25th, the leader of the revolution V.I. Lenin wrote a work on planning scientific and technical work.
Science Day was celebrated in all institutions whose activities were associated with scientific progress.

Changes in the country
3:556A long-standing tradition of celebrating domestic scientific achievements in Russia, unfortunately, was interrupted in the early 90s. The country was worried difficult time: higher echelons shared power, ordinary people tried to adapt to the kaleidoscopically changing reality. There was no one to finance scientific research, much less remember about Science Day. Some research institutes have closed, others have reorganized. It took more than one year for life to return to a more or less straight direction.
3:1531Created by Peter I The Russian Academy of Sciences was recreated by presidential decree Russian Federation dated November 21, 1991, as higher scientific institution Russia. The Academy is recognized as self-governing non-profit organization having state status. It operates on the basis of the legislation of the Russian Federation and its own Charter.
3:633 3:638A June 7, 1999 Chapter Russian state signed a decree establishing a day dedicated to achievements scientists of the Fatherland.According to the Decree issued in 2000, the Day of Russian Science is February 8
3:1022 3:1079 3:1084
The names of scientific figures, graduates of the Academy, are world famous:
4:143Mikhail Lomonosov, known for his many talents, Ivan Pavlov, who studied reflexes, Dmitry Mendeleev, creator periodic table chemical elements, Konstantin Tsiolkovsky, passionate about developments spaceship, Lev Landau, from whose textbook physicists around the world study, Igor Kurchatov, the “father” of the Soviet atomic bomb, we can continue endlessly...
4:809Truly gifted people, who have the freedom to conduct the necessary research and the support of the government, have been leading Russian science at the forefront of world science for almost three centuries.
Russian scientists were the first produced on the planet:
- development of the theory of the biosphere,
- launching into orbit artificial space satellite,
- construction and commissioning of a power plant with a nuclear reactor.

Academy of Sciences today
5:568IN beginning of XXI centuries, the composition of the RAS includes big number research institutes, laboratories and museums. The activities of the Academy extend to almost all areas of science, these are: mathematics, astrophysics, physics of quantum liquids and crystals, physics elementary particles, mechanics, chemistry, biochemistry, biotechnology, history, philosophy, literary studies, folklorism, and this list is far from complete.... If you look at all the inventions last centuries, That lion's share inventions belong specifically to Russian scientists, who have repeatedly proven their worth in many issues of scientific activity.
5:1722Behind last years Russian academics:
- created ultra-strong steel and ductile cast iron,
- injection lasers and transistors have been developed that will become the basis of new generation electronic devices,
- connection detected chemical reaction with magnetic radiation,
- production technologies are being developed that do not cause harm environment,
- a deep-sea neutrino telescope has been created, which exists in a single copy in the world,
- the human genome is comprehensively studied,
- the tasks of human psychodiagnostics in rapidly changing conditions have been identified and studied,
- diamonds with specified characteristics and weight up to 6 carats were grown,
- the basis for more than 2000 monographs and textbooks was created.
This is only a small part of the results of the work of more than 100,000 people. Scientific personnel are trained at the institute of research trainees, graduate school, and doctoral studies. Among full members The Academy has 40 laureates of the prestigious Nobel Prize. The first of those awarded, in 1904, was Academician I.P. Pavlov for his work on the physiology of digestion, then, in 1908, I.I. Mechnikov for his work on immunity. Last Russian laureate became physicist K. S. Novoselov, who in 2010 received Nobel Prize for his pioneering experiments on the two-dimensional material graphene.
6:1034 6:1039Events held on Russian Science Day
6:1136On the eve of this significant date, research institutes spend days open doors, organize lectures and conversations with scientists. Employees of institutes and museums conduct excursions during which they provide unique opportunity see with your own eyes supercomputers that simulate and calculate economic processes. In the laboratories of physicists you can witness interesting experience and learn about the production technology of modern ultra-strong and high-quality materials. In addition, exhibitions and screenings of scientific films are organized.
Scientists also do not forget about schoolchildren.
Special events are held for them, at which representatives of various scientific branches in simple and accessible form talk about their work. This gives the children the opportunity to better understand the changes taking place around them and think about choosing a career as a scientist.
Of course, all the events dedicated to the Day of Russian Science simply cannot fit into one day. That's why Every year a whole week in the first half of February is dedicated to the celebration.

Science and man
8:552All the familiar things that we see around us every day were born thanks to the hard work of scientists. Now, it’s even difficult to imagine how one could live without paper, a telephone, an electric kettle, vehicles, or the Internet. But any thing owes its birth to a person who, at one fine moment, was illuminated by an idea, believed in it and achieved its implementation.
8:1264Certainly, research on protein-coding genes , are incomprehensible to a person far from the biology of the gene. But it is a possible future breakthrough in the search for a cure for cancer. Just like the phrase "geochemical activity of microorganisms" few people can repeat it without hesitation. But successful research in this area will significantly increase oil production. A striking example breakthrough in Russian science, this best weapons, thanks to which, Russians can sleep peacefully and count on a peaceful, good future. Long years human activity For their own good, they did not do without sacrifices, and they are counted by environmental scientists every year. Currently, 414 species of endangered animals and measures are being developed to preserve their numbers.

Russian Science Day, celebrated on February 8, is a relatively young holiday that appeared at the end of the 20th century. The date February 8 was not chosen by chance. It was on this day, February 8, 1724, that Peter the Great signed a decree establishing the Academy of Sciences and Arts. It is curious that not only offspring from wealthy noble families, but also children of lower class people could study at the Academy - the main thing is that they were talented and had a thirst for knowledge.
The contribution that the Academy of Sciences made to the development of economics, new technologies, mathematics, physics, and medicine in the 18th and 19th centuries cannot be overestimated. At this time, in-depth research is being carried out in different scientific fields, museums are being created (including the famous “Kunstkamera in St. Petersburg”). The foundations of many fundamental teachings are laid.
Science Day in the USSR
In 1925, the USSR Academy of Sciences appeared. The research and discoveries of Soviet scientists made an invaluable contribution to world science. It was in the USSR that the first nuclear power plant was launched, the first artificial Earth satellite was created, such a science as astronautics appeared, and astronomy and biology reached a fundamentally different level.
The Science Day holiday in the USSR, of course, existed, but it was celebrated on the third Sunday in April. This is due to the fact that in mid-April 1918 V.I. Lenin published the article “Outline of Scientific and Technical Works,” which determined the goals and paths of development of science for the coming decades.
Science Day in modern Russia
In 1991, the USSR Academy of Sciences was renamed the Russian Academy of Sciences. Eight years later, in 1999, in honor of the 275th anniversary of the founding of the Academy of Sciences, the President of the Russian Federation signed an order establishing the Day of Russian Science. Since then February 8th is official holiday all Russian scientists. True, many scientific teams celebrate their professional day in mid-April, in the “old way.” Therefore, we can safely say that Russian science has two holidays. Well, our scientists fully deserve it!
Traditions of Russian Science Day
Although Russian Science Day is not a day off, it is widely celebrated in almost all scientific teams. It became good tradition on this day to conduct seminars and organize scientific conferences. Dissertation defenses are often scheduled for this day, because getting a PhD or doctorate on the holiday of all scientists - this is especially honorable!
February 8th is annual holiday for Russian scientific community. On this day, it is customary to congratulate not only outstanding scientists and academicians, but also university teachers, researchers and ordinary students who decided to devote their lives to experiments and research. Despite all its importance, the holiday is not an official day off.
history of the holiday
In 1724, Emperor Peter I issued an order according to which a body similar to Western European academies should be established. His task would be the development of science in the state. On February 8, the Senate issued a corresponding decree. This is how the Academy of Sciences and Arts appeared, which was destined to become the progenitor of the modern Russian Academy of Sciences. The peculiarity of the institution was that financial position the students were not interested in his leadership.
Knowledge could be obtained not by those who had a lot of money, but by those who sought to connect their careers with scientific activity. The Academy changed names, but its goal remained the same over the centuries. In 1925 it was named the USSR Academy of Sciences. It is with this period in its existence that the most notable discoveries are associated: the appearance nuclear power plant, launch the first artificial satellite Earth, development of astronautics.
That's when Science Day first appeared, but it was celebrated on the first Sunday in April. After the collapse of the USSR, the institution became known as the Russian Academy of Sciences. The holiday continued to be celebrated, but at an unofficial level. And only in 1999, 275 years after the emergence of the Academy, a decree was issued on the introduction official day Russian science.
