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.

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.
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).
