Vladimir Arnold - Vladimir Arnold Vladimir Igorevich Arnold (born June 12, 1937 in Odessa, USSR - ) is one of the world's most prolific mathematicians in the field of Mechanics. His career dates from Stalinist USSR, and he is still active at the turn of the 21st century. One of his earliest achievements is the Kolmogorov-Arnold-Moser Theorem in dynamics. Arnold's writing style mixes rigorous and abstract mathematics with informal, almost conversational prose. Arnold espouses a geometric approach to mathematics in general, and mechanics in particular. His opinions on the subject can be found on the web. Together with Louis Nirenberg, he was awarded the 1982 Crafoord Prize by the Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences. Arnold works at the Steklov Mathematical Institute in Moscow and at the University of Paris.

Aleksandr Lyapunov - Vladimir Andreevich Steklov, "Chebyshev saw in the young man such an immense research power, that he had dared to lay on him such a toilsome task". Lyapunov had already begun to study this stability in his previous two-years attempts at solving the task. After the public announcement his work instantly attracted the attention of mathematicians, mechanicians, physicists and astronomers all over the world. In 1885 he became private reader of the University at Kharkov in the chair of mechanics, where he replaced V. G. Imshenecky, who had been chosen as a member of the Russian academy of Sciences. Lyapunov had lectured already from 1880 at the faculty for mechanics and this had taken him a lot of time. His student and collaborator, academician Steklov, said about his fine lectures: "A handsome.
Lenin's April Theses - Lenin's April Theses The Bolshevik leader Vladimir Lenin returned to the capital of Russia, Petrograd, on April 3, 1917, just over a month following the February Revolution which had brought about the establishment of the liberal Provisional Government. He set out his analysis of where Russian politics should develop in his famous April Theses published in the newspaper, Pravda. The theses dealt with various areas, the Bolshevik attitude to the First World War, their attitude to the Provisional Government, and how Russia should be governed in the future and the future of the Bolsheviks. Particular measures proposed by Lenin included no co-operation with the "bourgeois" Provisional Government; opposition to the war on the grounds that it was a war fought in bourgeois interests by bourgeois governments; and the abolition of the.

Vladimir I. Vernadsky - Vladimir I. Vernadsky Vladimir Ivanovich Vernadsky (March 12, 1863, N.S [ February 28, O.S ] - January 1945) was a Russian mineralogist and geochemist who first popularized the concept of the noosphere and deepened the idea biosphere to the meaning largely recognized by today's scientific community. The word biosphere was invented by Austrian geologist Eduard Suess (1831-1914), whom Vernadsky had met in 1911. Vernadsky is considered one of the precursors of ecology. Vernadsky's most important works are: Geochemistry, published in Russian 1924 The Biosphere, published in Russian 1926 (English translation 1998).
Vladimir Vasilevich Markovnikov - Vladimir Vasilevich Markovnikov \Vladimir Vasilevich Markovnikov was a Russian chemist born in Nizhny Novgorod December 22, 1838 died in February 1904. Markovnikov is best known for the Markovnikov Rule which he developed in 1869. The rule is useful for predicting the molecular structures of products of addition reactions. Since he never published in any language besides Russian his work remained largely unknown until 1889. Markovnikov also contributed to organic chemistry by finding carbon rings with more than six carbon atoms, a ring with four carbon atoms in 1879, and a ring with seven in 1889.
