SCIENCE

In Kyivian Rus' the first venues of sciences were monas­teries. «Code of Laws», drawn up in the 10th—12th cc., laid the foundation of what would later become Ukrainian, Rus­sian, Belorussian and Lithuanian feudal law.

The beginning of the 17th century saw the peak of creative talent of the prominent linguist M. Smotrytsky. His «Slavic Grammar» became the basis of grammars of many Slavic languages.

A major venue of sciences in the 18th c. was the Kyiv- Mohyla Academy. Among its graduates were such celebrated scientists as N. Maksymovych and 0. Shumliansky.

Much contribution to the development of Ukrainian science was made by M. Ostrogradsky (mathematics), O. Bodiansky (lin­guistics), V. Filatov (medicine).

In the 19th and early 20th cc. the centres of scientific activity in Ukraine were Universities and Lyceums. In October of 1918 the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences bеcame a scientific centre. This Academy was founded by getman P. Skoropadsky. The first Academy President was the academician V. Vernadsky. In the 1920s there were three departments in the Academy.

The Ukrainian Academy of Sciences was and still is the prominent scientific institution in the Ukrainian state. There are about 160,000 research workers, 12,000 candidates and doctors of science. There are 203 aca­demicians, 280 corespondent-members and 80 foreign members of the Academy.

Ukraine has made its contribution to the world space science. At the Southern Machine-Building plant about 400 artificial Earth satellites have been made.

During 1946—1951 the first electronic computing ma­chine in Europe was designed by the academician S. Lebedev at the Institute of Electrical Equipment.
