The Harmony of Trinity

Nikolay L. DOBRETSOV

Organization, in May 1957, of the Siberian Branch of the USSR Acade my of Sciences was a revolutionary event — and not just for the national science. In only ten years research work conducted within the Siberian Branch was acknowledged to be world level. To compare, it took Tomsk research school, which is the oldest in Siberia, almost a hundred years to reach the same mark!

Development of the young Siberian research has attracted the attention of the world academic community from its first steps, primarily because Academgorodok, the outpost and headquarters of the Siberian Branch built in Novosibirsk, was the first structure specifically designed to develop pure research and theoretical education. This was a unique experiment that came up to the expectations: high concentration of outstanding researchers with a variety of interests and schools and a large number of young investigators took off like a rocket.
