he worked in Moscow. Since 1959, he has been in Vladivostok where in 1962, he
organized and headed the Chemical Laboratory of Natural Physiologically Active
Compounds of the Far Eastern Branch (now Department) of the Siberian
Department of the AN SSSR. Since 1964, he has been Director of the Bio-organic
Chemistry Institute (Pacific) in Vladivostok that is subordinate to the Far Eastern
Scientific department and that studies the exploitation of marine and terrestrial plant
and animal sources of natural drugs. Also Head of the Steroid and Terpenoid
Chemistry Laboratory of that institute. His works are in the synthesis of
glycosides,, sterols, and glycosides from the roots of ginseng and other plants of
the family. (GSE 9, p. 115.)
Fedotov, Sergei A., D. PM. S. Born in 1931 in Leningrad. Russian geophysicist.

the Churl-Kamchatka zone. In 1975, he was elected Vice President of the
International Association of Volcanology and Chemistry of the Earth's Interior. His
principal works deal with the internal structure and seismicity of the earth,
properties of the earth's mantle, the mechanism of deep magmatic and volcanic
activity, and long-term earthquake predictions. (GSE 27, p. 137.)

1974, he became Director of the Pacific Ocean Oceanology Institute in Vladivostok
established in 1973 to study the complex hydrophysics of water masses, sea swell,
energy exchange, and the interactions of the ocean. It is subordinate to the
Academy's Far Eastern Department. Since March 1986, he has been Chairman of
the Far Eastern Department of the Academy. His works deal with acoustic and
hydrodynamic cavitation, the resistance of liquids to cavitation, and marine hydrology.
