3. V. I. Vernadskii Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry Institute in
Moscow.
19, Kosigina st. V-334. Moscow, GSP-1, 117975, tel. 939-7083, or 137-
14-84. Directed by Academician Erik M. Galimov. tel. 137-41-27.
Galimov, Erik M., D. Geo. & Min. S. The Geochemistry of Carbon Laboratory, under
his direction, in 1973 began studies on the history of carbon in the earth’s crust,
including the history of life, the geochemical role of carbon and organic matter, and
oil formation. Professor Galimov was elected an academician of The Geology,
Geophysics, Geochemistry, and Mining Sciences Department in 1993. He is now
the director of the V. I. Vernadskii Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical
Chemistry located in Moscow. (GEOCH IN)
Retrospect: This institute developed from Vernadskii's organization of a Living Matter
Research Group in 1926, which in 1928, became the Biogeochemical Laboratory,
which, in turn, became in 1943, the Vernadskii's Laboratory of Geochemical
Problems. It was removed to Moscow in the mid-1930s where in 1947, it became
the V. I. Vernadskii Institute of Geochemistry and Analytical Chemistry. At that
time its personnel included some 60 researchers. In the early 1990s its 30-odd
laboratories and experimental works employed over 1,000 scientists, engineers,
technicians, and laboratory assistants. It also maintains a post-graduate student
body which includes 70 or more postgraduate students from the other republics.
Since its formation in 1947, it has produced more than 350 specialists of whom
four have become corresponding members of the AN SSSR, 30 have received
doctors degrees and 50 scientists from the other republics have received candidate
degrees. Twenty-two other scientists from Eastern Bloc countries received
advanced training in the institute during this period.

Structure and Scientific Personnel: From 1976 to 1993, Valeri L. Barsukov, D.
GM. S., was Director of the institute. Since that time Professor E. M. Galimov, D.
Geo. & Min. S., has served in that capacity. Deputy Directors: Miasoidov, Boris
F., D. Chem. S., since 1980 and Shukoliukov, Iurii, A., D. Chem. S., since 1982;
Scientific Secretary: Dr. B. Ryzhenko, D. Chem. S. The institute is organized into
two Departments:
