Deriagin, Boris V., D. Chem. S. Born in 1902. Russian scientist in the field of
physical chemistry and molecular physics. Corresponding member of the General
and Technical Chemistry Department of the Academy since 1946; academician in
1993. Originally elected to the Chemical Sciences Department. Also a member of
the Physical Chemistry and Technology of Inorganic Materials Department. He
graduated from Moscow State University in 1922. Since 1935, he has been
Director of the Laboratory of Thin Layers (now the division of surface
phenomenon) of the Institute of Physical Chemistry of the Russian Academy of
Sciences. He developed the teaching on surface forces and their effect on the
property of diverse systems. M. V. Lomonosov Prize, 1958. (GSE 8, p. 143.)
Deviatikh, Grigorii G., D. Chem. S. Born in 1918 in Viatka Province. Russian
chemist. Corresponding member of the Physical Chemistry and Technology of

1974. He graduated from the chemistry Department of inorganic chemistry at the
University of Gorkiy in 1941. He is Head of the Department of inorganic chemistry
at the University of Gorkiy, and since 1972 he has headed an unidentified
laboratory at the Institute of Chemistry of the AN SSR in Gorkiy. Since 1982, he
has served as Deputy Director of the Chemistry Institute in Gorkiy, that researches
the creation of pure compounds. In 1985, he was awarded the Lenin Prize for his
work on the development of pure substances. His work is in the separation of
stable isotopes and the preparation and analysis of extremely pure substances. In
1980, he received the A. S. Popov Prize. In 1981, he was the recipient of the D. I.
Mendeleev Gold Medal for his work in research in the chemical sciences. In 1988,
he was named Head of the new Institute of the Chemistry of Viscose Substances in
Nizhnii Novgorod. He is currently serving as a member of the Bureau governing
body of the Physical Chemistry and Technology of Inorganic Materials
Department.(GSE 8, p. 170.)
