Russian scientists made great contributions to world science. Who does not know the names of the great Russian scientists and inventors such as Lomonosov, Mendeleyev, Pavlov, Michurin, Tsiolkovsky, Lobachevsky, Kulibin and many others.

Peter I established the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences in 1725. There the brilliant scientist Lomonosov worked in the fields of physics, chemistry, astronomy and laid the foundation of the Russian literary language. He had to work under very difficult conditions, because from the first years at the Academy he carried on the struggle for the development of Russian science and culture. Moscow University was named after Lomonosov.

The people of this great land produced many geniuses such as Mendeleyev who gave the world his periodic table of elements, mathematicians like Lobachevsky whom the world knows as the “Copernicus of Geometry”.

The people of our country are proud of scientists like Lodygin who produced the electric lamp, and Popov who invented the radio, Tsiolkovsky who was the founder of the modern theory of space rockets. At the end of the 19-th century K.Tsiolkovsky decided to solve the problem of cosmic flights. In 1895 he put forward the idea of building artificial satellites. Mankind’s dream about cosmic flights has come true.
