Urals Engineering Physics Institute in Ekaterinburg (Sverdlovsk). From 1939 to
1947 he worked at the Metallography Institute, and at the Physics of Metals and
Metallurgy of the Urals branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences. His principal
works have dealt with the theory of the magnetic and electric properties of metals
and semiconductors, the theory of ferromagnetism, and the theory of superconductivity.
He proposed the so-called polar mode(with S. P. Shubin) and the s-d
model of ferromagnetics. On the basis of these models, Vonsovskii and his
colleagues have constructed a general theory of ferromagnetics close to the Curie
point, and he has explained fractional atomic moments and some characteristics of
kinetic properties as well as taken into account the effect of the multiplicity of the
magnetic ions of these substances. Since 1967, he has been Deputy Director of the
Metals Physics Institute in Ekaterinburg (Sverdlovsk). From 1971 to 1986, he
served as Chairman of the Urals Department. In 1988, he was appointed an advisor
to the national academy's Presidium. In 1982, he received the S. I. Vavilov Gold
Medal in recognition of his contributions to Russian science. (GSE vol. 31, p. 315,
and vol. 5, p. 590.)

Geochemistry, and Mining Sciences Department and of the Urals Department since
December 1987; academician in 1993.
Corresponding Members:
Alekseev, Sergei S. Corresponding member of the Philosophy and Law Department of
the Academy and of the Urals department since 1987. Since the establishment of the
Philosophy and Law Institute in Ekaterinburg in 1988, he has been Director of that
Institute which includes seven task groups on law and the individual l, law and the
economy, socialism and humanism, rational analysis of socialist society,
philosophy of history and man, participation in the political process, and social
rationality and humanism. It also houses a laboratory for collection of legal
information. (LDA 89-11378.)
Bulashevich, Iurii P. Born in 1911 in Nizhny Novgorod, now Gorkiy. Russian
geophysicist. Corresponding member of the Geology, Geophysics, Geochemistry,
and Mining Sciences Department of the Russian Academy of Sciences and of the
Urals Department since 1970. He graduated from the University of Kazan' in 1935
and started work at the Urals Branch (now Department) of the AN SSSR. In 1958,
he became the Director of that department's Institute of Geophysics that since 1971
has been called the Institute of the Geophysics of the Urals Department of the AN
SSSR. In 1952, he became a professor at the Ekaterinburg (Sverdlovsk)
Pedagogical Institute and later professor at the Sverdlovsk Mining Institute. His
main works are in geophysical methods of studying the earth's crust and with the
exploration and analysis of useful mineral deposits. (GSE, 30, p. 29.)
Chichkanov, Valerii P., D. Econ. S. Russian economist. Corresponding member of
the Economics Department and of the Urals Department of the Academy since
1981. From 1980 to 1987, he was Director of the Economics Study Institute at
Khabarovsk under the Far Eastern Department that studied the economic
development of the Russian Far East. In 1987, he was made Director of the
Economics Institute in Ekatarinburg which sprang from a research group organized
in 1941, to become a Department of Economic Studies of the Urals Branch of the
Academy in 1951, and in 1971 of the Urals Department. In 1971, the Institute of
Economics of the Urals Department was reorganized. Its scientists in the past have
worked closely with the State Planning Committee. The Institute studies methods of
improving production efficiency in the Urals region. Special attention is given to
energy production, capital investment policies and the introduction of new
technologies into production. (LDA 89-11378.) (See above.)
