Academicians:
Avrorin, Evgenii N., D. PM. S. Corresponding member of the General Physics and
Astronomy Department of the Russian Academy of Sciences and of the Urals
Department since December 1987; academician in 1993. In 1992, he was listed as
the Chief scientist of the Chelyabinsk-70 weapons design center located near
Chelyabinsk.
Baraboshkin, Aleksei N., D. Chem. S. Born in 1925. Corresponding member since
1981, and academician of the General and Technical Chemistry Department of the
Academy and of the Urals Department since December of 1987. He graduated from

He joined the institute in 1958. Since 1977, he has been Director of the
Electrochemistry Institute in Ekaterinburg (Sverdlovsk). Established in 1958, the
main research thrusts of the institute include high-temperature electrochemistry of
molten salts and solid electrolytes--investigations of their properties and the
processes in these electrolytes--and the development of new ecologically pure
technologies and devices. He has also headed the Electrocrystallization Laboratory
of the institute since 1972. He is responsible for new scientific directions involving
the electrocrystallization of metals out of salt melts, the theoretical foundation of
galvanoplastics and galvanostegy of refractory metals and their alloys, chemistry
and kinetics of electrode processes, and methods of obtaining single crystals and
epitaxial layers of metals.
Bol’shakov, (Bolshakov) Vladimir N., D. Bio. S. Born in 1934. Corresponding
member of the General Biology Department and of the Urals department since
1979, and academician of both departments since December 1987. Deputy Director

Director of the Plant and AnimaEcology Institute in Ekaterinburg (Sverdlovsk). It
was founded in 1948 and does research in the fauna and flora of the Urals Region,
soil science, animal pathology, radiobiology, and cartography. It is the leading
ecological research institute in Russia. In 1986, he was given the V. N. Sukachev
Gold Medal named after the famed botanist, geographer, and plant scientist for his
own work in botanical research. Institute scientists concentrate upon the impact of
pollutants like Strontium 90 and its migration through the soil as well as the impact
of other nuclear wastes upon the environment. He is a recipient of the Order of the
Red Banner Badge of Honor Medal.
