the Theory Laboratory of the Budker Nuclear Physics Institute in Novosibirsk.
From 1967 to 1978 he was a member of the Presidium of the Siberian Department.
Since 1983, he has served as Head of the General and Nuclear Physics Division of
the I. V. Kurchatov Atomic Energy Institute in Moscow. He has worked on
relativistic plasma, the quantum theory of many particles, and the theory of the
atomic nucleus. (GSE 3, p. 141.)

Marchuk, Gurii I. , D. PM. S. Born in 1925 in Petro-Khersonets, Grachevka Raion,
Orenburg Oblast. Russian mathematician. He has been a corresponding member of
the Oceanology, Atmospheric Physics, and Geography Department of the AN SSSR
from 1962, and an academician of both Departments since 1968. Since 1980, he has
been Deputy Chairman of the USSR Council of Ministers. Since 1981 he has been
a full member of the Central Committee of the CPSU. From 1980 to 1986, he
served as Chairman of the GKNT (the State Committee for Science and Technology)
that develops and monitors a unified state policy for science and technology. Since
October 1986, he has been President of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR He
was originally elected to the Earth Sciences Department. He graduated from
Leningrad State University in 1949. From 1953 to 1962 he worked at the Physics
and Energetics Institute in Obninsk; from 1962-64 he was assigned to the Institute of
Mathematics of the Siberian Department of the AN SSSR. In 1969, he was made
Deputy Chairman of the Presidium of the Siberian division. His principal works lie
in computer science and applied mathematics. He constructed an algorithm for the
numerical solution of the equations of neutron transport that has become the
foundation for calculating the critical parameters of nuclear reactors. He has also
conducted theoretical studies on the methods of short-term weather forecasting and
the dynamics of the atmosphere and the ocean. He is presently working on solving
problems of automated control systems. Since 1980, he has been Director of the
Computational Mathematics Department in Moscow, that was established in 1980
and that conducts research in applied mathematics, long-range forecasting, the
formulation of mathematical models of atmospheric and immunological systems, and
the development of computation methodology. In 1980, he was Chairman for the
exhibition of the Achievements of the National Economy. Since 1982, he has
served as Deputy Chairman of the Interdepartmental Council to Study Innovations
in Socialist Countries. Since 1983, he has been Chairman of the Committee for
Cooperation in Scientific and Technical Research in CEMA. Lenin Prize, 1961;
Recipient of the State Prize, 1979--with others for a cycle of works on the
development and application of statistical modeling methods for the solution of
multidimensional tasks of radiation transfer. (GSE 15, p. 456.)
Mesiats, Gennadii A., C. GM. S. Born in 1936. Corresponding member since 1979,
and an academician of the General Physics and Astronomy Department and of the
Siberian Department since 1984. He is also a member of the Urals Department. He
is a specialist in the fields of electronics and electrophysics. He received the Lenin
Komsomol Prize in 1968, and the Laureate State Prize in 1978. Since 1986, as
Chairman of the Urals Department, he has served as a member of the Presidium of
the Academy of Sciences of the USSR In 1988 he was named Vice President of the
Russian Academy of Sciences for the Urals Department. From 1977 to 1986, he
served as Director of the High Current Electronics Institute in Tomsk, subordinate to
the Urals Department The institute researches thermonuclear and accelerator physics
and laser technology and was created in 1977 from the High Current Electronics
Laboratory of the Atmospheric Optics Institute. Since 1986, he has been Chairman
of the Urals Department, and since November of 1986, he has served as the Director
of the Electrophysics Institute in Ekaterinburg (Sverdlovsk) () that was established
in 1986.
