Academy. Since 1988, he has been the Academician Secretary of the Philosophy and
Law Department of the Academy. (GSE 30, p. 536.)
Laverov, Nikolai P. Born in 1930. President of the Kirghiz Academy of Sciences since
1987. Vice President of the Russian Academy for the Earth Sciences since 1988.
Corresponding member of the Geology, Geophysics, Geochemistry, and Mining
Department of the Academy since 1979; academician since 1987. Since 1990, he
has been the Director of the Geology of Ore Deposits, Petrography, Mineralogy and
Geochemistry Institute in Moscow. The new institute does ore and mineral analyses
and develops new methods and tools for analysis.
Logunov, Anatolii A., D. PM. S. Born in 1926 in a village in Kuibishev Oblast.
Russian theoretical physicist. Vice President of the Academy since 1974. He has
been a corresponding member of the Academy since 1968. Since l972, he has been
an academician of the Nuclear Physics Department of the Academy. Since l974, he
has served as a board member of the GKNT General Assembly. He graduated from
Moscow State University in 1951 and began to teach there immediately. From 1956-
63, he was Deputy Director of the Laboratory of Theoretical Physics of the Joint
Institute for Nuclear Research in Dubna. From 1963 to 1975, he was Director of the
Institute of High Energy Physics at Serpukhov when he was replaced by Lev D.
Soloviev. Since l977, Logunov has been Rector of M. V. Lomonosov Moscow
State University. His principal studies are in quantum field theory and the physics of
elementary particles. He developed a method of dispersion relations and established
the relationship between different physical processes at high energies. In 1967-68,
he proposed and developed a new approach to the problem of the multiple
production of particles at high energies (inclusion processes). The scientific center of
the Institute of High-energy Physics was created under his direction and a 70 GeV
proton accelerator was put in operation there in 1967, for which a Lenin Prize in
Science and Technology was awarded. In 1984, he was the recipient of the former
Soviet Union State Prize in Science and Technology for co-authoring papers
published in 1955-56 entitled, "The Renormalization Group Method in Field
Theory." In 1980, he received the A. M. Liapunov Gold Medal named after the
applied mathematician for his work in scientific research. (GSE 14, p. 650 and 20,
p. 394.)
Mesiats, Gennadii A., D. GM. S. Born in 1936. Corresponding member since 1979;
and an academician of the General Physics and Astronomy Department since 1984.
Vice President of the Academy for the Urals Department since 1987. He is a
specialist in the fields of electronics and electro-physics. He received the Lenin
Komsomol Prize in 1968, and the Laureate State Prize in 1978. Since 1986, as
Chairman of the Urals Department, he has served as a member of the Presidium of
the Academy of Sciences of the former Soviet Union From 1977 to 1986, he served
as Director of the High Current Electronics Institute in Tomsk, which was subordinate
to the Urals Department The institute researches thermonuclear and accelerator
physics and laser technology and was created in 1977 from the High Current
Electronics Laboratory of the Atmospheric Optics Institute. From November of 1986
to 1988, he served as Director of the Electro-physics Institute in Ekaterinburg
(Sverdlovsk), established in 1986. Since 1986, he has been Chairman of the Urals
Department of the Academy.
Nefedov, Oleg M., D. Chem. S. Born in 1931. Vice President of the Academy for the

Department of the Academy since 1979; and, academician since 1987. Academician
Secretary to the department since June 1988. Since 1970, he has been Head of the
Carbene Chemistry and Small-sized Cyclic Compounds Laboratory of the N. D.
Zelenskii Organic Chemistry Institute in Moscow. In 1987, he shared the N. D.
Zelinskii Prize in organic chemistry with Kh. M. Minachev, and V. V. Kharlamov.
