<strong>Academy</strong> and <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> former State Committee for Science and Technology He was<br />

replaced by (GKNT). ]<br />

Authorized in 1992 with a staff <strong>of</strong> 53 persons <strong>of</strong> whom 22 were research scientists and <strong>of</strong><br />

whom three held <strong>the</strong> doc<strong>to</strong>rate and 11 <strong>the</strong> candidate degree. There was one<br />

Academician on <strong>the</strong> staff. Research concentrated on <strong>the</strong> <strong>the</strong>oretical and<br />

experimental research in<strong>to</strong> <strong>the</strong> field <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> mechanics <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> multiphase system. In<br />

1992, Amir A. Gubaidulin, D. PM. S. was Scientific Secretary <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> institute.<br />

Altai Terri<strong>to</strong>ry (its area, including Gorno-Altai Republic, is 262 thousand sq.km, and <strong>the</strong><br />

population 2835 thousand people) is situated in <strong>the</strong> south <strong>of</strong> Siberia, and its climatic<br />

conditions are most favourable for agriculture. It produces more than half <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong><br />

corn <strong>of</strong> West Siberia, half <strong>of</strong> <strong>the</strong> wool, one third <strong>of</strong> meat and one quarter <strong>of</strong> milk.<br />

The Terri<strong>to</strong>ry has machine-building and chemical industries, plants for extraction <strong>of</strong><br />

polymetallic ores, food and consumer goods industries. Mountain Altai is a<br />

pristine, non-polluted part <strong>of</strong> Siberia, which attracts many <strong>to</strong>urists.<br />
