The Academy of Sciences of Russia is almost 290 years old. The Academy has been very productive in those years and has greatly contributed to world science and culture.

The Russian Academy of Sciences was founded on January 28 (February 8 New Style), 1724, by a decree of the Senate in St.Petersburg. The decree read: «To establish an Academy for teaching languages, sciences, and arts and for translating books».

Right from the start, the Russian Academy of Sciences combined research and teaching. At first there were three classes: mathematics, physics and humanities. It differed from western academies in that it had no links with theology.

Mikhail Lomonosov, a Russian scientist of genius, a great thinker and materialist, made an enormous contribution to science. He appeared at the Academy in 1742, and right away began to fight for independent development of Russian science and culture. The great scientist studied metallurgy, geology, and geography.

The wonderful achievements of the Russian scientists have had a great influence on the development of world science and technology and are inseperable from the fast progress in the natural sciences and advanced social and political ideas of the 21^st century. Science played an outstanding role in turning our country into one of the greatest industrial powers.
