Academy of Sciences of the USSR

The Academy of Sciences of the USSR was the leading scientific organization in the Soviet Union, founded in 1934. It brought together top scientists across disciplines to conduct research, advance knowledge, and develop innovations for the country. The Academy played a key role in scientific development, overseeing research institutes, laboratories, and publications. It aimed to promote scientific progress in areas like physics, chemistry, biology, and engineering, supporting both civilian and military applications. Its influence extended internationally, and after the USSR's dissolution in 1991, its successor organizations continued to promote science in Russia and former Soviet states.
