D. I. Mendeleev is one of the greatest scientists in the field of natural science, whose name will forever be in the history of science along with the names of Archimedes, M. V. Lomonosov, Ch. Darwin, and others.

Truda D. I. Mendeleev Multifungal: Chemistry, physics, meteorology, metrology, industry, agriculture, shipbuilding, aeronautics.

"Brilliant chemist, a first-class physicist, a fruitful researcher in the field of hydrodynamics, meteorology, geology, in various departments of chemical technology, a deep connoisseur of the chemical industry, the state mind, which, unfortunately, was not destined to become a state person, but who saw and understood the tasks and The future of Russia is better than representatives of official power. That was Dmitry Ivanovich Mendeleev. "- So wrote in 1922 L. A. Chuhan, Professor of Chemistry of Petrograd University, author of the first detailed study of the vital and creative path of D. I. Mendeleev.

The bright page of the life of Mendeleev is his work on the organization of the Russian Chemical Society (RO), which is still a center for the scientific thought of the leading chemists of our country. In 2008 marks 140 years from the day of Education.

The object of research is Russian and All-Union chemical Society them. D. I. Mendeleev.

The subject of our study is to study the activities of D. I. Mendeleev on the creation and work of ROP, the work of the All-Union Chemical Society. D. I. Mendeleev, studying the activities of the Vologda branch of the ROP.

Our goal is to find out the role of the personality of a scientist in Ro PHO - its organization, the formation, the collection of local lore material on the organization and work of a chemical society.

1. To study the history of the creation of a chemical society, his goals.

2. To explore the activities of D. I. Mendeleev in the period from 1860 to 1907 and to determine the contribution of D. I. Mendeleev to the establishment and organization of the Russian Chemical Society.

3. Collect material about the presidents of the All-Union Chemical Society. D. I. Mendeleev, the work of Mendeleev Congresses.

4. Examine the work of the Vologda branch of the All-Union Chemical Society. D. I. Mendeleev.

5. Collect local history material for members of the Russian Chemical Society.

Research methods:

1. Study of literature and archival documents.

2. Analysis of literature and work with it.

3. Collecting local lore material about members of the Russian and All-Union Society.

Analysis of literature

Work on this topic began with the study of literature on the life and activities of Mendeleev, published in different years. Analysis of literary and archival sources was based on the following issues:

What period did the need to unite scientists in Chemical Society?

Who stood at the origins of the creation of PHO?

What is the basis of the activities of RO?

Did political events affect the work of the ROH in that period and this time?

We managed to detect and read the unique edition - the book of A. Arkhangelsky 1907 - "Mendeleev, his scientific and social activities." This book was released in Bryansk and devoted to the memory of D. I. Mendeleev, was compiled by his speech at a meeting of the Warsaw mug of teachers of physics and mathematics. The income from the sale of this publication entered the construction of the monument to the Great Chemist. The author shows the multi-mindedness of the activities of a great scientist who has achieved global recognition during life.

In 1951, the younger daughter Dmitry Mendeleev Maria Dmitrievna was published "Archive D. I. Mendeleev", which presents bibliographic notes, compiled by the scientists themselves at the end of their lives. In them, Mendeleev allocated work, trips; I remembered where his articles were published, right up to the pages. The fact that he considered the most important thing is emphasized \u003d or ≡. T. about. Mendeleev left behind a whole archive (55 volumes), the results of life, in which a brief and clear assessment of each of their works is given. Mendeleev himself said about this: "The one who will write my biography will tell me thank you."

The next book, which helped us in studying the topic - "The chronicle of the life and activity of D. I. Mendeleev". It reproduced the main events of the life and activities of D. I. Mendeleev. These archival documents helped us restore the chronology of the works of D. I. Mendeleev and his personal attitude towards one or another issues.

Since the creation of a Russian chemical society refers to those years of a scientist when he worked at the University of St. Petersburg (and this is 40 years of his life), where he received his education, went away from Privat-Docent to a well-deserved professor, where his laboratory and apartment was placed, where the first organizational assembly of the Russian chemical society was held, then when A. A. Makareni and I. N. Filimonova "D. I. Mendeleev and University of St. Petersburg, "we simply were obliged to learn it. She helped to assess the political situation of that time, the attitude of officials to science. Here is the period of formation of the PHO.

To the 75th anniversary of the Periodic Law and the Russian Chemical Society in 1947 in the Publishing House of the USSR Academy of Sciences, a book illuminating this event was published. The collection included the main materials of the ceremonial meetings, the reports of leading scientists A. A. Baikov, A. E. Fesman, A. F. Ioffe, A. I. Lazareva, V. V. Kozlov. Books of Professor V. V. Kozlova "Essays History of Chemical Societies of the USSR", in 1958 Edition

The Academy of Sciences of the USSR - "All-Union Chemical Societies named after D. I. Mendeleev" are a huge study on the study of chemical societies, including the Russian chemical society created by Mendeleev. It is covered in it such sections as "Organization of the Russian Chemical Society", "Public and Scientific and Technical Activities of the Russian Physics and Chemical Society", "Work of the All-Union Chemical Society named after D. I. Mendeleev", "Scientific and Technical Conferences, Meetings, Symposia " and etc.

In these literary sources, we learned information about the prominent figures of the ROP, the history of the Company's magazine.

To study the activities of the Vologda branch of the All-Union Chemical Society named after D. I. Mendeleev, we analyzed the materials of the local archive, which helped our study on the fact of the importance of chemical society in modern worldThey had the opportunity to personally talk with the chairman of the Vologda branch of the Chemical Society I. A. Podolic.

When collecting material about the vice-president of the Russian Chemical Society, L. Chuhana, we appealed to the archive of the Gyroval Museum of Local Lore and the Savior-Obnora Monastery.

To study the work of Mendeleev Congresses, we have been a selection of magazines, a conversation with the participants of the XI and XII congresses, the photographic material is assembled.

To collect data on the presidents of the All-Union Chemical Society. D. I. Mendeleeva enjoyed the Internet search engine.

3. The emergence and formation of a chemical society in Russia

3. 1 Organization and development of Russian Chemical Society

"Chemical scientific societies and unions - voluntary associations of persons engaged in scientific research in the field of chemistry and chemical technology teaching these sciences working at the enterprises of the chemical industry and in factory laboratories, as well as persons who, regardless of their profession, promote chemistry progress and are interested in it Success "- this is how the determination of chemical societies in the Big Soviet Encyclopedia.

Chemical scientific societies and unions began to occur only in the 1st half of the 19th century. Under the influence of the industrial revolution. Prior to that, the mutual communication of chemists was carried out by personal contacts, correspondence, reading reports at the Academy of Sciences and Scientific Societies of Natural Sciences. There were also informal collections of chemists (for example, A. Lavauzier in 1770-90). The first was the physico-chemical society based in 1807 (by other data in 1805) K. L. Bertoll and P. S. Laplas in the Paris Mascier Arkay. It has about 20 members, among which were J. B. Bio, J. L. Gay-Loussak, A. Gumboldt, O. P. Decadol, P. L. Dulg, E, L. Malyus, S. D, Poisson , L. J. Tenor and others. After the restoration of Bourbon, the society was closed as "the hearth of Bonapartism." The basic principles of the activities of this society are a comprehensive discussion of scientific work to their publication, complete freedom of expression, the responsibility of the authors for the facts reported by them and conclusions - remained guidelines for chemical societies that have arisen later. The oldest chemical societies: London (1841), Parisian (1857, with 1907 - French Chemical Society), German (1867), Russian (1868) and American (1876).

In 1857, D. I. Mendeleev prepared a press on the press, in favor of "sociability" in science, on the role of scientific societies in strengthening this trend; Developing sciences. "Publicity and mutual post is needed in science, where nothing is solved by the arbitrariness of a person, where only one truth is reigning," the scientist wrote.

On January 4, 1868, a group of members of the Congress of the Congress issued a decree on the need to unite Chemotics of Russia to Chemical Society. Among them were D. I. Mendeleev, N. Menshutkin, V. V. Markovnikov, A. A. Voskresensky, A. P. Borodin, A. N. Engelgardt, F. R. harmful. These scientists read the following statement: "The Chemical Section stated a unanimous desire to connect to the Chemical Society to communicate the forces of Russian chemists. The section believes that this society will have members in all cities of Russia, and that his edition will include the works of Russian chemists printed in Russian. The section asks to apply for the establishment of Russian Chemical Society. "

The charter of RHO was compiled by the meeting of chemists on the apartment of Mendeleev.

On February 1, 1868, D. I. Mendeleev read the draft charter of the Russian Chemical Society (RHO) at a meeting of the Commission on the Company's Company. On February 15, 1868, the Charter was approved at the meeting of members of the founders, and on February 17, he was discussed at a meeting of the Physical and Mathematics Faculty of St. Petersburg University.

On September 19, 1868 D. I. Mendeleev at the final organizational meeting of RHO issued the opinion of the Ministry of National Education on the Company's Charter.

On November 6 (November 18), 1868 held the first organizational meeting of the Russian Chemical Society. In the old chemical audience of the St. Petersburg University gathered RO "In order to promote the successes of all parts of chemistry and distribute chemical knowledge."

The chairman of the first meeting was D. I. Mendeleev. Starting its activities, RTO expressed his appreciation to D. I. Mendeleev and N. A. Menshutkin for their works on the organization of the association of Russian chemists. At the first meeting of RHO D. I. Mendeleev elected to the Commission to prepare the publication of the Company's magazine. N. N. Zinin became the President of the Company.

By December 4, 1869, 60 members of the Russian Chemical Society were in the first annual list, of which 42 people from St. Petersburg, 7- from Kazan, 3- from Moscow, 2- from Kiev, for one person from Kharkov, Warsaw, Vilna, Dankova Ryazan province (see applications).

In accordance with § 2 of the Company's Charter, the reception to the members was limited, since he provided for the attraction of only persons engaged in the teaching of chemistry, or persons having handwritten or printed work on chemistry.

On December 5, 1868, the second meeting of RPO was held, where D. I. Mendeleev made a message about the estimate of the publication of the magazine RO.

In May 1869, the first issue of the "magazine of the Russian Chemical Society" was published with the article by D. I. Mendeleev "The ratio of properties with the atomic weight of the elements."

On May 3, 1876, D. I. Mendeleev, together with a number of scientists, signed the charter of the new Joint Russian Physico-Chemical Society (RFO).

On April 19, 1878, the first meeting of the Joint Russian Physico-Chemical Society (RFO) took place. F. F. Petrushevsky became the chairman. D. I. Mendeleev made a report "On the device of the scales appointed for the production of experiments on the gases."

In the period 1868-1917, the Company was mainly from professors and teachers of higher educational institutions and very few workers in industry (10-12%). The number of members of the Company in 1869 was 60 people. (129 in 1879, 237 in 1889, 293 in 1899, 364 in 1909, 565 in 1917).

So, the period of organization of the Chemical Society is over for more than 10 years. By the mid-19th century, St. Petersburg was the scientific center. The bulk of scientists who made up the nucleus of RHO worked in this city. Among them are N. N. Zinin, D. I. Mendeleev, A. M. Butlerov, A. A. Voskresensky, A. P. Borodin, N. A. Messutkin. All these scientists have made huge contribution In the development of domestic science. It should be noted that to combine scientists together, withstand the pressure of the royal regime, only those people who have even organizers and diplomatic abilities could legitimize their activities. By that time, D. I. Mendeleev was a little more than thirty years. Probably his youth, vital activity, organizational abilities helped overcome all the difficulties, and the education of society took place.

3. 2 Outstanding Chemical Society Footwritings

The organization of activities is unthinkable without leadership, which is responsible for the work of society, directs it, engaged in the selection of speeches and reports, determines the subjects of the meetings. The leadership depended on the scientific activities and organization of the Company. Therefore, first of all, their authority was evaluated in scientific circles and organizational abilities. Presidents of the Russian Physico-Chemical Society alternately chose the chairmen of chemistry and physics offices. The assistant of the president was the chosen recorder of society, and since 1901 - the selected vice president. In the application chronological procedure, the presidents of the Company and the years of their activities are indicated.

After examining the composition and guideling link of Russian Chemical Society, we concluded that these scientists raised their science at a high level, increased the glory of our country in the scientific world.

3. 3 performances by D. I. Mendeleev at meetings of RO

A prominent place in the activities of D. I. Mendeleev was occupied by the organization of science. The period of his life from 1868 to 1890 was saturated with research activities. He himself experiments with a lot, works with students, young scientists, is an example for them. It was during this period that the rise of chemical science was noted. The center of scientific thought was RO. It should be noted that D. I. Mendeleev raised the authority of a chemical society. It was he who mostly introduced the members of the ROC with the works of foreign scientists, reported the results of his experiments, conducted their discussion. Speeches D. I. Mendeleev are very multifaceted, they refer not only to different sections of chemistry, but also include work in physics, mineralogy. At the meetings of the Society D. I. Mendeleev pays a lot of attention to the development of agriculture and industry issues. It is he who activates the scientific work of society, is an example for young scientists, for whom it was an honor to defend themselves at meetings of RO.

All their work, experiments of Mendeleev expressed at the meetings of ROH. Having studied the archive and the chronicle of the life of a scientist, we chose the most vivid speeches by D. I. Mendeleev at the meetings of the ROP (see application).

Having worked out a selection of speeches, we allocated themes to which D. I. Mendeleev paid focus:

1. Natural chemical element system.

2. Aquatic and alcohol-containing solutions.

3. Crystal hydrates.

4. Nature peroxide.

5. Oil, its origin and distillation methods.

6. Elasticity, compressibility, expansion of gases.

7. Measurement system. Hydrogen and oil metric thermometers.

8. Production of individual substances in industry.

Many sessions of the Company were dedicated to the analysis of research of different fossils, especially the various pursuit of Baku oil, gases and deposits.

The greatest rise in scientific thought is accounted for by the period of its work at the St. Petersburg University and work by the President of the ROS, that is, the 70s and the 80s of the 19th century. D. I. Mendeleev in his speeches paid great attention to the two sciences: chemistry and physics. Before the unification of his speeches was duplicated at the chemistry department and the physics department. Probably, this was the association of a chemical and physical society in one - Russian physico-chemical society.

We see that D. I. Mendeleev at meetings of RHO has always informed about various discoveries in the field of chemistry, promoted young scientists, helped industrial workers in the development of substances.

3. 4 Public and Scientific Activities RFO

The first official scientific meeting of the Russian Chemical Society was held on November 6, 1868, chaired by D. I. Mendeleev. From this day, the RHO meeting was held regularly on the first Thursdays of each month (except for three summer vacation months) and always began at 7 o'clock. 30 minutes. Evenings.

Canceled meetings only on very important reasons. So, for example, a meeting was not held on February 7, 1880 in connection with the death of N. N. Zinin and A. A. Voskresensky. In January 1905, a few days after the mass execution of the workers on January 9, the meetings of physics and chemistry departments were canceled in protest.

In the first year of the Company (1869), 9 meetings were held. They presented 84 scientific communications and statements about interesting, new research, discoveries that were reflected on the pages of the Company's magazine. Members of the Company participated in the work of the congresses, acquainted with the writings of foreign scientists.

A serious achievement of a chemical society was the creation of a library of society, which was founded in 1877. The library organized a wide exchange of publications with foreign societies, institutions and publishers. Starting a chemical society, Russian chemists assumed that the creation of an independent chemical magazine should be the first priority task. From the very first days of its official activity, it opened a petition for the publication of the journal in accordance with §8 of the Company's Charter. At a meeting on March 6, 1869, the Delivery of Society N. A. Menshutkin reported that on February 10, permission was received from the Main Directorate for Print Affairs. On April 3, 1869, the 1st issue of LRCHO was presented. In 1869, 9 issues came out. From 1872, at the suggestion of Mendeleev, the journal began to be published protocols of meetings and scientific works of members of the physical society, in 1878. Transformed into the "Journal of the Russian Physico-Chemical Society". The President of the English Chemical Society William Palmery Winnie March 27, 1924 said: "Try to familiarize yourself with the Russian language so much to gain access to the treasury of values, which is called the" magazine of the Russian Chemical Society ". A similar statement speaks of enormous popularity and respect for the magazine RO.

4. All-Union Chemical Society. D. I. Mendeleev

4. 1. The main objectives and objectives of the All-Union Chemical Society. D. I. Mendeleev

All-Union Chemical Scientific Society named after D. I. Mendeleev was under the jurisdiction of the All-Union Council of Scientific and Technical Societies (ENTO) with the All-Union Central Council of Trade Unions (VDSPS). Organized in 1932 by the Resolution of the VI Mendeleev Congress on General and Applied Chemistry as a voluntary association of chemists, scientists, engineers, technicians, teachers, workers - innovatives of production, regardless of their departmental affiliation. All-Union Chemical Society is the successor to Russian chemical society.

After the Great October Socialist Revolution, the number of members of society has increased dramatically, the content, form and amount of its work changed. The main thing in his activity was: attracting chemists and other specialists, students of young people and advanced workers to scientific and technical creativity, improving socialist production; Enterprise advanced training of science and industry workers: propaganda of the success of chemistry among the broad masses of the working people. For the unification and development of creative initiative and public activities members of the chemical society, to develop topical comprehensive scientific and technical issues, preparation of conferences, meetings, etc. Activities in the central and local government of society work scientific and technical and specialized sections, committees, commissions and brigades. Public universities of technical progress have acquired great popularity, increasing scientific and technical knowledge of members. Together with the USSR Academy of Sciences and others. Organizations society holds Mendeleev's congresses in general and applied chemistry. Such congresses from 1907 (in St. Petersburg) in 1981 (in Baku) took place 12. The congresses at the congresses were the leading scientists of the country's chemists and overseas scientists. The Ximical Society organizes competitions of scientific and production and technical works of their members. Since 1965, the Presidium of the Chemical Society, together with the Presidium of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, is awarded to contests gold medal named after D. I. Mendeleev for work in the field of chemical sciences and technologies that have an important theoretical or practical significance. The Presidium of Chemical Society, together with industry ministries and trade unions, annually reviews the implementation of plans to implement the achievements of science and technology in national economy and activities to improve the technical level, quality and reliability of chemical products. In the period of 70-80. Chemical society included 86 local branches (boards) in the republics and major cities of the USSR, which were about 320,000 members and over 140,000 young chemists - secondary school students.

2. Presidents of the All-Union Chemical Society. D. I. Mendeleev

After studying the literature, we noticed that the Soviet period of the country's leading chemists is not fully presented. In the publication "Russian professors. Chemical sciences. »Presented the period 18 - In the first 20B. In the directory "Who is who in Russian chemistry" issued by the Russian chemical society. D. I. Mendeleev, presents the current period. The most difficult period of the work of RO them. Mendeleeva - 90s is not submitted anywhere. Information regarding the work of the Vologda branch, we learned their archival materials. Below is a briefly collected material about the presidents of the Soviet period in EMP.

Since 1980, for ten years, he was president of the All-Union Chemical Society. D. I. Mendeleev.

The 90s are difficult not only for EMP, but also for the whole country. The period of restructuring, when ideals are crumbling, when science leaves not what to the background, but much further, to resist such time scientific societies are very difficult. Many regional chemical companies cease their work in connection with the termination of financing. This happened to the Vologda Chemical Society. The resumption period was very difficult, but still, chemical society exists and it pleases.

4. 3 Mendeleev Congresses.

Mendeleev's congresses that pass in our country since 1907 play an important role in the unification of domestic chemists, in mobilizing scientists to solve problems of chemistry. In this chapter, we will submit information about 4 congresses - the first and three more: X, XI, whose XII-delegate was I. A. Folodol, head of the Vologda branch in them. D. I. Mendeleev, who kindly shared information and impressions with us.

I Mendeleev Congress took place from 19 to 30 December, with the exception of 25, 27, 28 December. In the regional library them. Babushkina preserved the diary of the I Mendeleev Congress on General and Applied Chemistry, released in 1907, whose pages we had the opportunity to overflow. 1008 people took part in the work. On December 20, in memory of D. I. Mendeleev, the following reports were presented:

1. V. E. Tishchenko "A brief bibliographic essay D. I. Mendeleev."

2. D. P. Konovalov "General Review of scientists by D. I. Mendeleev".

3. N. N. Beketov "The meaning of the Periodic Law".

4. B. F. Browner "On periodic system In connection with the question of rare lands. "

In the lists of delegates of the I Mendeleev Congress, we found a teacher of the natural science of the male gymnasium of the Vologda province of Yeltsov Vladimir Konstantinovich.

X Mendeleev Congress (Jubilee) passed in 1969 in Leningrad and was dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the opening of the periodic law. At the congress, reports on the periodic system and the synthesis of new elements, quantum mechanics, the meaning of the periodic law for modern chemistry were heard. An interesting detail describes the delegate of this congress I. A. Farm in his book of memories: "Gathered outstanding chemists in the world. According to the traditions at Mendeleev's congresses for the best scientific work a Gold Medal and Menndeleev's Diploma are awarded. That year she was awarded to Academician Nikolay Mikhailovich Zhavoronkov. Award-denunity is given to the twenty-minute report. Having finished speaking, Nikolai Mikhailovich asked the delegates to the Mendeleev Congress permission to invite one of the guests to the scene. From the audience, an old man was raised. Nikolai Mikhailovich presented his hall: "This is my school teacher who forced me to love chemistry. I want a gold medal as a sign of gratitude to him to give him together with the best wishes of health and long-life life!" The hall stood up and arranged the ovation to the school teacher. Applauded academicians and memberships, professors and associate professors, engineers and researchers, all foreign guests. Each at that time remembered his teachers. The touched old man said only one phrase: "For this, it was worth living."

The XI Mendeleev Congress passed to Alma -The in 1975 from September 22 to September 27. About 3,000 representatives of the chemical science and industry, workers of academies of sciences, universities took part in the congress. At this congress, reports of the leaders of a number of industries were presented: chemical, oil refining, non-ferrous metallurgy. At this congress, the main directions of the development of the national economy were proposed for 1976-1980, which were approved at the XXV CPSU Congress. President in him. D. I. Mendeleev Academician A. V. Fokin handed the gold medal to them. D. I. Mendeleev Academician G. G. Ninth for outstanding progress in the field of chemistry and technologies of particularly clean substances.

As part of the congress, 19 sections worked, 4,900 people were made with reports. Foreign scientists participated in the congress. Professor P. Savich (SFRY) said: "I urge all scientists to program only the peaceful results of my scientific research such meetings as the current forum at the hospitable Azerbaijani land, fasten our efforts in the interests of the security of peoples and progress."

5. ROD on the Vologda Earth

5. 1 Vologda branch of the All-Union Chemical Society named after D. I. Mendeleev

The work of the Vologda branch in the name D. I. Mendeleev was organized from 1969 to 1992. In March 1969, the United Scientific Conference of the Department of Pedagogical Institute (VGPI), the North-West Polytechnic Institute (SPI), the Milk Institute (VSI), dedicated to the memory of DI Mendeleev, took place in Vologda. In June 1969, a constituent conference was held on the establishment of a department of all-union chemical society in the Vologda region (EMP). The Chairman was elected associate professor in the Department of Chemistry VGPI I. A. Podolic. Members of the Board were chosen by representatives of all universities of the Vologda region:

L. A. Korobeynikova, Yu. G. Sazhinov, Yu. D. Shevkoplyas, R. A. Paramonov,

Z. V. Kireeva.

The Vologda Office has entered the engineering and technical staff of the factories, representatives of the Department of Pedagogical, Polytechnic, Milk Institutions of Vologda and Cherepovets. As of January 1, 1971, in the Vologda branch in the Volga region. D. I. Mendeleev consisted of 286 people.

The main activities in the EMP. D. I. Mendeleeva:

1. Participation in the discussion of all chemical industries in Vologda.

2. Environmental, economic discussion of projects. Examination of a number of chemical projects.

Prohibition of the construction of a plant for the destruction of combat poisoning substances in Sune.

Construction in Cherepovets shop to dispose of mercury lamps.

3. Research.

Protection of metals from corrosion.

Testing new types of inhibitors, their effect on the strength properties of steels under conditions of low-cycle loads.

Cleaning wastewater in the production of ammonia sodium hypochloride.

Installation and testing of the biochemical installation on wastewater disqualification.

4. Conduct regional seminars, conferences, work with periodic seal.

During 1969-1970, a number of conferences dedicated to the memory of DI Mendeleev were organized, exhibitions and stands were organized. In the regional newspaper "Red North" printed materials about D. I. Mendeleev.

On June 10-11, 1977, a regional scientific-practical conference was held on the memory of L. A. Chuhan.

Conducting regional reviews by themes:

"Development of new and improving existing technical control methods in chemical production."

"Chemical Technologies and Environmental Protection".

5. Work with personnel - assistance in studies, preparing dissertations.

6. Holding chemical Olympiads - from school to republican; Preparation of students to the Olympiads.

The authority of the Vologda Chemical Society was high. By 1981, the organization numbered 950 members. And this is all thanks to the organizational abilities, the initiative, the inexhaustible activity of the permanent Chairman of the Professor Society of the Department of Chemistry - Isaac Abramovich Podolic.

Isaac Abramovich Podolic. Chairman of the Vologda branch of the All-Union Chemical Society. D. I. Mendeleev from 1969 to 1991.

Per active work He was repeatedly awarded honorary certificates, twice - Medal D. I. Mendeleev, Medal L. A. Chuhana; He was a delegate of five Mendeleev Congresses.

The work of chemical society has always been depending on the political situation in the country. So it was during the work of D. I. Mendeleev, so there is now. With collapse Soviet Union Many structures collapsed. Failed to survive and the Vologda branch of the Embassion to D. I. Mendeleev. On January 10, 1992, a meeting of the Presidium was gathered in the behalf of D. I. Mendeleev, who issued a decree on termination of work in connection with the termination of financing and the release of primary organizations from the Company. It was not necessary, apparently, and another such bright person, which was I. A. Folodol, who by that time he retired. "Are there again a chemical society on the Vologda Earth regenerate?" - With such a question we turned to Isaac Abramovich. "Let's hope. Rather, it is obliged to be revived, since in the Vologda region there are some of the largest chemical industries - Cherepovetsky plants: "Ammophos", "nitrogen factory", "Metallurgical Combine" - expressed hope I. A. Podolic.

Isaac Abramovich kindly presented us with his awards, which he was noted, being the chairman of the Vologda branch in Easter. (See applications). In the Vologda Art Gallery, two unique works of Artists of Rundaltsov and MEE - Portraits of DI Mendeleev, who were found by I. A. Podolnoye.

5. 2 Life and activity of L. A. Chuhana (1873-1922), Vice President of the ROGO, in the Vologda Earth

In this chapter, I would like to note the activities of the representative of the Steering Room of the RHO - L. A. Chuhan, who was the vice-president of the Chemical Society after the death of D. I. Mendeleev, in 1913. , 1918-1920.

Vice-President of the Company (1913, 1918-1920.), Secretary of the first Mendeleev Congress. Professor of the Chemistry of Petrograd University. L. A. Chugaev was developed the theory complex compounds. Subsequently, at the Academy of Sciences, the Platinum Institute was formed to study Chuhan.

With the name of this scientist, research work is related to the study of local lore material. Last years of L. A. Chuhani's life was held at the Vologda Earth, and he was buried in the territory of the Gryazovetsky district. We are assembled by local history material, the grave L. A. Chuhani was found and visited, which is located in the territory of the Savazo-Troitsky Pavlo-Obnodsky Monastery.

In 1918, L. A. Chuhana brings his wife with children to the Vologda region, which, as a result of a hard life in St. Petersburg and Son's disease, came to relatives in p. Youth of Gryazovetsky district. In addition, Chugaev wanted to organize soap production here, since there was a high assistance. For the period from 1918 to 1922, L. A. Chuhana came three times to the Vologda region. During these years, he lectured in the Vologda Pedagogical Institute. In 1922, L. A. Chuhan got a typhus and died at the station Wild in the Vologda district. He was buried in the territory of the Savior-Trinity Pavlo-Obnodsky Monastery in the village. Junior Gryazovetsky district. In the early 50s, Kareline Pavel Nikolaevich, the dean of the natural geographical faculty, then Vice-Rector of the Vologda Pedagogical Institute, organized the search for the Mogile L. A. Chuhan. P. A. Karelin wrote a letter to the Presidium of the Academy of Sciences with a request to allocate money for a monument. A memorial medal was cast in Leningrad. Cherepovetsky sculptors Husband and the wife of Kontarere erected a monument. While the school existed in p. Junior, students were cared for the grave, and then servants of the monastery. Every year we are there too. (photo See applications)

Conclusion

November 6, 1868 (November 18) In the old chemical audience of St. Petersburg University, chaired by D. I. Mendeleev, held the first general meeting of just established Russian chemical society.

So began the glorious activity of Russian chemical society. The merits of society in the development of chemistry and the chemical industry in our country for all the time of its existence are invaluable. It has become the world's largest organization of chemists, the center of chemical personnel in our country. At the meetings of numerous local branches of the Company, the results of a huge number of experimental and theoretical studies, issues related to the development of the chemical industry and the organization of new chemical industries were discussed. In the Company's magazines, starting from 1869, the largest studies of Russian and Soviet chemists who glorify the domestic science were published.

Society and its local branches have done great work, during the Patriotic War. Many of his members engaged in the defense studies. Local branches of RO facilitated the organization of studies of temporarily evacuated research institutes and universities. An important studies include the search for new types of industrial raw materials, cheap and nutritional feeds for livestock, etc.

In our research work on the basis of literary sources, we reviewed the history of the creation of a chemical society, the contribution of D. I. Mendeleev to the organization and work of the ROP, the materials and memories of Metereevian congresses were presented, on the basis of archival documents, the work of the Vologda department was played. We collected local history material about the member of RHO L. A. Chuhan, so we believe that we fulfilled the tasks. D. I. Mendeleev realized his responsibility of the largest scholar of his time - and for the fate of Russian science as a whole, in all areas, and for the development of the productive forces of the native country whose path he saw with extreme prisons.

Both in the creation and in the development of the activities of the Chemical Society throughout its life, D. I. Mendeleev played a leading role. No outstanding event in the field of chemical sciences passed by the Company. The RFHO turned out to be the strongest influence on the development of all branches of chemical science not only in Russia, but also abroad. By law, the name of D. I. Mendeleev, his inspirer and the organizer. The middle of the 19th century in politically was also not calm, but why in such a difficult time scientists have found strength and desire to unite, and in our democratic time, on the contrary, is the decay? Maybe there are no such great scientists, what was D. I. Mendeleev? I really want to hope that the work of a chemical society and in the Vologda Earth will be in demand, and there are organizers of this case.

In our school, the scientific society of students "Illumination" is working, the school scientific conference is held annually, on which the works dedicated to D. I. Mendeleev are present. This year, a week of chemistry dedicated to the life and activities of DI Mendeleev, a booklet was decorated. It will be our small contribution to the development of a school chemical society.

Chesky About the Allow named after D. I. Mendeleev All-Union, Scientific Society. He is under the jurisdiction of the All-Union Council of Scientific and Technical Societies (VNTO) at the All-Union Central Council of Professional Unions (WCSPS). It was organized in 1932 by the resolution of the VI Mendeleev Congress in general and applied chemistry as a voluntary association of chemists - scientists, engineers, technicians, teachers, workers - innovators of production, regardless of their departmental affiliation. Chemical Society is the successor of the Russian Chemical Society, founded at St. Petersburg University in 1868 to address the meeting of the Chemical Department of the 1st Congress of Russian Naturalists and Doctors and transformed in 1878 to Russian Physico-Chemical Society. The charter of the Russian chemical society was compiled with the active participation of D. I. Mendeleev and N. A. Menshutkin. N. N. Zinin was elected first president of the Russian Chemical Society; The editor of the "magazine of the Russian Chemical Society" (renamed in 1879 in the "Journal of the Russian Physico-Chemical Society") from 1869 to 1900 was N. A. Menshutkin. In the period 1868-1917, the Company was mainly from professors and teachers of higher educational institutions and very few workers in industry (10-12%). The number of members of the Company in 1869 was 60 people. (129 in 1879, 237 in 1889, 293 in 1899, 364 in 1909, 565 in 1917). The presidents of the Company were A. M. Butlers (1878-82), D. I. Mendeleev (1883-84, 1891-92, 1894) and others. The largest chemical scientists. Dmitry I. Mendeleev, N. A. Menshutytkin, D. P. Konovalov, M. G. Kucherov, and others were academic reports.

After the Great October Socialist Revolution, the number of members of society has increased dramatically, the content, form and amount of its work changed. The main thing in his activity was: attracting chemists and other specialists, students of young people and advanced workers to scientific and technical creativity, improving socialist production; Enterprise advanced training of science and industry workers: propaganda of the success of chemistry among the broad masses of the working people. To unite and develop the creative initiative and social activities of members of the Chemical Society, to develop current comprehensive scientific and technical issues, preparation of conferences, meetings, etc. Activities in the central and local government of the Company work scientific and technical and specialized sections, committees, commissions and brigades. Public universities of technical progress, increasing scientific and technical knowledge of members of the Chemical Society acquired great popularity. Together with the USSR Academy of Sciences and others. Organizations society holds Mendeleev's congresses in general and applied chemistry. Such congresses from 1907 (in St. Petersburg) in 1975 (in Almaty) was held. The congresses on the congresses were: A. E. Arbuzov, A. N. Bach. N. D. Zelinsky, N. S. Kurnakov, L. D. Landau, N. N. Semenov, A. E. Fersman, V. G. Krestman and other owls. Scientists, as well as foreign scientists F. Jolio-Curi, Cyborg, R. Robinson, S. Khinshelwood, A. Todd and others. Proceedings of Mendeleev Congresses are published in the form of collections. Chemical society also convenes thematic conferences, symposia, meetings, organizes discussions, many of which are arranged with the participation of other interested scientific and economic institutions.

Chemical society organizes competitions of scientific and production and technical works of their members. Since 1965, the Presidium of the Chemical Society, together with the Presidium of the USSR Academy of Sciences, awarded the Gold Medal's Gold Medal contests. D. I. Mendeleev for works in the field of chemical sciences and technologies that have an important theoretical or practical significance. The Presidium of Chemical Society, together with industry ministries and trade unions, annually reviews the implementation of plans to implement the achievements of science and technology in national economy and activities to improve the technical level, quality and reliability of chemical products.

Russian Chemical Society on the threshold of the XXI century

President of the Russian Chemical Society,
Academician A.I. Rusanov

"A Russian Chemical Society is established at St. Petersburg University to promote the successes of all parts of chemistry and distribute chemical knowledge" - these words begins the charter of the Russian Chemical Society, approved by the scientist Committee of the Ministry of People's Enlightenment on October 26, 1868. From this day, the official activities of the Company began But the work on its creation has already been carried out over a number of previous years.

In the sixties of the last century, Russian chemists acutely felt the need for an organization that would have given the opportunity for closer professional communication, and most importantly, there would have a printed authority to publish scientific scientists in Russian. All Russian chemist scientists constructed that such a chemical society should be created in St. Petersburg, where there was a largest community of chemists (the second largest in Kazan, the third in Moscow). This is what the newspaper "Russian disabled" wrote from August 17, 1861: "Chemical society, in our opinion, is quite possible in St. Petersburg. Here you live here, our chemists. Resurrection, Zinc, Mendeleev, Sokolov, Shishkov, Hodnev and Engelhardt, - And in general, in St. Petersburg, many young people are engaged in studying chemistry. " (We note that when these lines were written, Mendeleev was 27, but it is already presented among the "most famous", and not "young people", among which was, for example, 19-year-old N.A. Menshutykin). It can be noted that the Council of the St. Petersburg University (His Rector at the time was "the grandfather of Russian chemistry" A.A. Voskresensky) and the physico-mathematical faculty of the university (Chemical has not yet) belonged to the idea of \u200b\u200beducation of a chemical society at the university very benevolently. With their support, it was already possible to storm the Bureaucratic Everest of the Ministry. At this stage, demanding mass of energy, D.I. Mendeleev (N.A. Menshutykin is actively helped) gradually becomes the main acting person of the process and regularly informs others about step-by-step advancements. It can be said that the official institution of chemical society was his personal success.

As a scientist D.I. Mendeleev was primarily a physico-chemist, and his dream was to unite chemists and physicists. Later, in 1878, the Russian Chemical Company was transformed into Russian Physico-Chemical Society (RFO) with two autonomous departments - physics and chemistry - and began to have even greater importance for russian science. An extensive scientific library was created. The RFGO magazine immediately stood in one row with the largest and most authoritative scientific publications of the world. For donations of their members and other organizations, the RFHO formed a premium fund.

The first president of the Chemical Society was N.N. Zininsecond - A.M. Butlers, Third - DI. Mendeleev. In the first year of its existence, a chemical society has grown from 35 to 60 members and continued to grow smoothly in subsequent years. It was interesting to combine the features of the club (membership fees, acceptance only on the recommendation of three members, restrictions on public visits), a permanent chemical seminar (Mendeleev alone made a total of 90 reports in the chemical branch of the Company) and a scientific publishing house. The latter was the most difficult matter and demanded a large financial assistance that the universities of St. Petersburg - University, Institute of Technology, Mountain Institute, Artillery Academy, et al. We note that after the death of D.I. Mendeleev University redeems his family a personal archive of a scientist and creates a memorial office in 1911 (Museum-Archive) Mendeleev (which still exists in the main building of the University), and the RFO establishes Mendeleev Congresses in general and applied chemistry. The first three congresses (in 1907, 1911 and 1922) were held in St. Petersburg (Petrograd).

The revolution and post-war devastation did not change the nature of the Company's activities, although there were many difficulties. The Government of Lenin tried to rely on scientific and technical societies in economic recovery. In 1918, a new charter of the Company was adopted, in which the Floa was established again under the University of Petrograd and had jurisdiction throughout the RSFSR, becoming a widely open organization. In July 1918, the RFO received 70 thousand rubles from the state for the resumption of activities and publication of work. In the future, however, financial difficulties have increased. In 1919, the publication of the RFO magazine had to suspend, and it was resumed only in 1924 after the appeal of the President of the Russian Federation D.P. Konovalov to the Council of People's Commissars. Later, in 1929 and 1930, the WEDD and the Chemical Committee of the USSR allocate significant subsidies for the publication of the RFHO magazine and the reorganization of Mendeleev's memorial office in the University of Leningrad.

An important act of the resumption of the Company's activities after the Civil War was the organization of the III Mendeleev Congress, which was held in the building of the Chemical Laboratory of the Petrograd University (now the Mendeleevsky Center). Opening the Congress on May 25, 1922, N.S. KURNAKOV Noted that "many persons could not arrive in Petrograd due to the difficulties of modern movement." Nevertheless, there were 406 delegates at the congress, and the reports made impressive panorama of chemical science. In the future, the FNO is actively involved in public affairs (up to the creation of a chemical trade union), in the creation of a Russian-speaking chemical nomenclature and the development of the country's chemical plan.

In 1931, scientific and technical societies covered the wave of reorganizations and the RFO ceased to exist. His successor should be considered to be the Leningrad Research Chemical Society (actually the Chemical Section of the RFO), its presidents were N.S. Kurkinakov and A.E. Favorsky. In 1937, Leningrad Chemical Society became part of the All-Union Chemical Society. DI. Mendeleev (EMP), established in 1932 by the decision of the VI Mendeleev Congress in Kharkov (his first president became A.N. Bach). It should be noted that the creation has been broadcast broadcast and with great support of power structures, apparently feeling the importance of influence on science.

The following main objectives of the Company established the following main objectives of the society: "a) to study the problems of the chemicalization of the national economy directly related to the nodal issues of socialist construction in the SSR Union; b) promoting research thoughts in all fields of chemical science Based on the Marxist-Leninist worldview; c) facilitating the systematic use of all areas of chemical science to meet the needs of socialist construction and strengthening the country's defense capability. " The Charter also noted that control over activities is carried out by the Committee on the Institution of scientists and educational institutions in the CEC, in 1938, this role passed to the USSR Academy of Sciences.

By that time, the Academy of Science moved to Moscow and became increasingly turned into a ministry of science, transferring many functions of scientific societies - the publication of scientific journals (the Journal of the Floa was transformed into the Journal of the General Chemistry of the USSR Academy of Sciences), the organization of scientific events, preparation of recommendations to the government, etc. P. The Academy of Sciences has increasingly shielded in EMP, whose role objectively decreased. To a lesser extent, it was felt in Leningrad, where the spirit and tradition of society did not actually change.

Among the new events, the institution was most significant in 1941. Annual Mendeleev's readings (the first Mendeleevsky reader was V.G. Krestolov). In the years of blockades, when books and furniture served as the main heating material, the employees of the Leningrad branch were in advance of preserving the main material value in immunity - his library.

For chemical society name D.I. Mendeleeva - officially revered in the country of the scientist - sometimes played the role of the Guardian angel. By the 40th anniversary of his death in 1947, a government decree, saved from the launch of the memorial office of the Great Scientist: It was transformed into a regular institution - Museum-Archive D.I. Mendeleev at Leningrad University. A serious research work began on the study of the creative heritage of D.I. Mendeleeva. In the same ruling, the library of the Academy of Sciences was instructed to serve the library in the States and set its funds at no cost, so the connection in the Academy of Sciences was even more strengthened. True, since 1950, the library had a long period of worships in different premises, before it returns to native Penates in 1987.

A.N. Bach He was president in life (from 1933 to 1946) and the first proved the possibility of combining the posts of academician and secretary of the Department of Chemical Sciences of the USSR Academy of Sciences and the President of the Chemical Society (later this experience was successfully repeated A.V. Fokin). At his time, two large anniversary came - the 100th anniversary of the birth of D.I. Mendeleev in 1934 and the 75th anniversary of the EMP and the Periodic Law in 1944 (celebrated together), which could not not attract the attention of the government of the country. In 1936 A.N. Bach performed at the Presidium of the USSR CEC with a report on work in EMP, after the approval of which the premises in Moscow were allocated to its Moscow branch. The subsequent event was the entry into the All-Union Scientific Engineering and Technical Society of Chemists, as a result of which society not only increased marked, but also began to include not only scientists.

Successor A.N. Bach as president's post became MM Dubinin (From 1946 to 1950, when he was elected academician secretary, he was changed V.M. Rodionov). Information about the number in the same time we get from "Coordinates about the scientific works of members in the name of them. D.I. Mendeleev", vol. 1 in 1948, where the appeal to I.V. published Stalin on the occasion of the 30th anniversary of October: "The wonderful successes of socialist construction, the daily help of the party and the government and personally, your dear Joseph Vissarionovich, provided the unprecedented flowering of science and the powerful development of industry in our country. These exceptionally favorable conditions have allowed to significantly develop their activities and To bring the number of members to 6000 by combining them in 36 local branches organized in various parts of the Union. "

So, in 1948, 6,000 members were in the chemical society and it was perceived as a significant achievement. Indeed, if you compare with 60 members in 1869, in 82 years of its existence, the society increased 100 times, despite significant human losses in the years of wars. On the other hand, the number of society was obviously much less than the total number of people who had attracted to chemistry in the USSR. This indicated the mainly scientific character of the chemical society at the time: the spirit and principles laid down by the founders of the Company were still continued to exist.

The end of this was laid on December 24, 1954 by the decision of the CPSU Central Committee "On Scientific Engineering and Technical Societies". In addition, in addition to many other comments, in particular, about the weakening of ideological work, it was noted that scientific and technical societies (NTO) did not become "genuinely massive" organizations of scientific and technical workers and innovatives of production. A slim scheme of NTO management was developed: a party - trade unions - NTO, and NTOs were directly subordinated to the WCSPS. Sectoral trade unions were glad and were proud to bring to some extent to science. For the party and the same functionaries, work in NTO has become completely irreversible. We remembered the functions not in vain: there was a gigantic growth in the number of NTO members (by the end of the 70s in the ETO, it reached 550 thousand people) and the corresponding increase in the management apparatus. NTO has its own bureaucracy.

These changes and the beginning of the restructuring of the Company fell on a speedy presidency I.L. Knunyanta (1954-1956) after the death of V.M. Rodionova. A new charter was developed with a detailed study of various activities, and after joining the currently rubber and rubber industry, the technical bias in society increased markedly. In the new charter, the word "rule" first sounded (in the former Soviet time, the Company was led by the Organizing Committee or the Council), and the first chairman of the Board became I.P. Losev - a scientist more applied directions, rather than academic I.L. Knunyantz, focused on the work of the scientific journal of society.

As a result of this reform, it turned out from scientific scientific and technical society and approached the sectoral NTO, in spirit, still very different from them. This was also their positive parties. First, it was widely expanded the scope of its activity and went beyond the scope of pure science, where it was largely shielded by the Academy of Sciences. Secondly, the ministries of the chemical profile began to list (by order from above), significant funds for the content of the Internet, which gave the opportunity to create regular states, send members in business trips, establish awards and contests. The state took NTO on its dependency, but also transformed them in the image and likeness of the Socialist Public Organization: with primary organizations (subordinate to the trade union committee) and democratic centralism with an annual scheduled task for the growth of their ranks.

I.P. Losev and replaced him in 1963. S.I. Wolfkovich turned out to be life presidents. Under the auspices of trade unions and with budgetary security, it worked calmly until some major event endured in the surface of state life. Usually it was Mendeleev Congresses, carried out with a big difference every 4-25 years as a review of the achievements of domestic chemistry. It should be noted, however, that after a huge break of 25 years (from 1934 to 1959) in the holding of congresses new Series Congresses began to play the Academy of Sciences as the State Structure of Higher Scientific Qualifications (a number of interested ministries were also attracted), and this position was brought to the years of stagnation to almost complete uniqueness. By this time, the part of the party was absolished to the limit, and therefore a separate decree of the CPSU Central Committee for each congress was a guarantee of success, providing, on the one hand, crowded congresses and a high circle of key speakers, and, on the other, - the diligence of the local party leader during the congress in the regions. All this brought undoubted benefits to chemical society, although it was moved to the shadow.

Especially solemnly and with the invitation of honorary foreign guests organized the anniversary congresses, one of which dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of A.M. Butlerova, was held in Kazan in 1928 (later in Kazan, Butlerovsky readings were established in Kazan), and the three others were established in Leningrad: the VII Jubilee Mendeleev Congress dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of D.I. Mendeleev, in 1934; X Jubilee Mendeleev Congress, dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Periodic Law, in 1969 and the XIII Jubilee Mendeleev Congress dedicated to the 150th anniversary of the birth of D.I. Mendeleev, in 1984 the latter was already held with the new president in A.V. Fokin who came to this post immediately after the death of S.I. Wolfkovich in 1981 and remained devoted to chemical society until the last days in the last day after the collapse of the USSR.

150 year old anniversary D.I. Mendeleeva was marked joyful for the Event - the creation of the Mendeleevsky Center at the Leningrad University. Chemical Society and Leningrad University prepared jointly draft decision of the USSR government on this issue, and it was adopted in 1982 by the time it was possible to return the chemical society in the building of the Chemistry Research Institute (the building of the Chemical Laboratory of St. Petersburg University), which after that It became known as the Mendeleevsky center. In May 1984, at the beginning of the congress, an updated museum-archive DI was solemnly open. Mendeleev and the first stage (right wing) of the Mendeleevsky Center, which drove the Board of the Leningrad Branch of Chemical Society. The second queue (left wing) of the Mendeleevsky Center - the premises for the library in EMPs - demanded large restoration work and entered into operation only in 1987, and all the work was performed on funds in EMP.

At the same time, the office of Chemical Society in the Mendeleevsky Center was equipped: a large bronze bust of Mendeleev's work of the sculptor LK was acquired. Lazarev, and artist Yu.N. Sukhorukov, in two years, created a monumental mosaic panel in the meeting room, perpetuating the largest chemists of St. Petersburg school in the stone since the establishment of society. Many things from Apartments V.E. were transferred to the same university. Tishchenko (who lived in the same building of the nearest and, perhaps, the most selfless confusion of D.I. Mendeleev for chemical society). All of them are carefully restored by chemical society.

The creation of the Mendeleevsky Center is difficult to overestimate. He is really the center of the chemical life of St. Petersburg, and not only of this city. For example, Novosibirsk Chemists are usually carried out in the Mendeleevsky Center for Catalysis Conference. The center also includes important representative functions for the university: the Great Britain's ambassador to the USSR was here (by the way, who offered to the chemists to invent the unbreakable china), the Consul of India in St. Petersburg, the Delegation of the University of Ukraine, the President of the American Chemical Society and many other officials.

Mendeleev Center works with full load and in our difficult days. If you make an analogy between an incomparably heavier crisis period after the civil war and the current state of the economy, then the advantage of the first is revealed: then the NTO has been very necessary by the state, and now the state does not need them in the least. Having lost the state subsidies, many NTOs lost the soil under their feet and the meaning of their existence. This is especially true of those NTOs that were created artificially only for compliance with the existing sectors of the USSR national economy. It must be said that it has shown its relatively high survival and even put a record of longitudeship after the collapse of the USSR, formally existed until 1993, when in the days of the XV Mendeleev Congress in Minsk announced his dissolution.

Even earlier, in 1992, in Rostov-on-Don, the constituent conference of the Russian Chemical Society was organized. DI. Mendeleev (RO) as a successor in the territory of Russia. The President-Organizer, and then the First President of RPO for the period 1992-1995. became Yu.A. Golden The second president (since 1995) is the author of these lines. At the congress in 1993, the Federation of Chemical Societies was also formed in Minsk. DI. Mendeleev, designed to replace in new conditions. The Federation does not receive contributions from its members, and the headquarters of this organization in Minsk exists at the Academy of Sciences of Belarus due to the selfless care of its first (from 1993 to 1995) of the President I.I. Leschviana. In fact, some activity show in the Federation of participating in Belovezhsky agreements, Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan are symbolically denoted. Nevertheless, the existence of the Federation is fundamentally important: let it help us not to forget each other and orients us to better times.

How and what to live a society next? Recall that chemical society has already existed during capitalism. From his first charter, we learn that, firstly, members of society paid considerable membership fees (10 rubles per year), and, secondly, "for the development of the Company's funds from members, unauthorized persons and institutions, donations are accepted about in protocols. " Now we know that the first sponsors of any organization are its founders. The founders of the Russian Chemical Society in 1868 were individuals with a rather high income, for these were professor scientists. Even according to 1913, Professor of the University received 4500 rubles per year of one of the most stable currencies in the world: - 300 rubles more than the deputy State Duma, and 5 times more than the most qualified worker (what then there were trainers of trains). Under the conditions where the number of the first composition of the PHO was insignificant, and the level of all donations from its members (up to the formation of premium funds) is high, and the society did not have full-time workers who made funds were quite enough to function at first.

The founders of the new Rostov in Rostov significantly differ in their financial capabilities from the founders of the forefathers, although, I remember, demonstrated, it is necessary to believe that no less enthusiasm. But, most importantly, we have not yet felt in the new world, where any new things are accepted from the estimates. A reasonable proposal for the introduction of a valid (with a high contribution) and associate membership in RoHh then did not pass, and now it comes to it again.

Yet the charter of modern PHO reflects the principles laid down in the first charter. The essence is that chemical society now lives on voluntary contributions, both members and sponsorship. However, in order to be able to manage them, society must convincingly demonstrate its utility.

The main "product" of any scientific society is information, and on the example of American chemical society with its annual budgets of several billion dollars, we see how much can be achieved on this path. American Chemical Society issues a lot of scientific journals (we have this function RAS), but the main information publication is "Chemical & Engineering News".

Now PHO has his own, although a modest analogue - the Chemistry Bulletin in Russia, manufactured since last year (editor V.N. Parmon) and becoming increasingly popular. Members of society receiving it are vividly interested in subsequent numbers, and this suggests that we are on the right track. Of course, this publication is not profitable, but costly, but it's nice to think that the costs of sponsors go here for advantage.

As for the "journal of the All-Union Chemical Society. D.I. Mendeleev" (the origins of this journal are coming from the first printed body of the Russian Chemical Society, founded in 1869. D.I. Mendeleev), in 1993 his successor was "Russian Chemical Journal. " Currently, despite the great difficulties with financing, this magazine regularly comes out, while maintaining the basic traditions of its predecessor.

To prove its utility to regional organizations, RHO is particularly difficult. The greatest (even unique) opportunities has a St. Petersburg branch that freely provides its members to use the excellent library and premises of the Mendeleev Center. But also in a number of other regions (for example, in Tatarstan), where they begin to work correctly with their members and sponsors, things are moving towards improvement, although this (first of all, working with sponsors) we still need to learn a lot.

Large difficulties in the work of the Board of the ROS in Moscow. Once a numerous central government apparatus decreased to three people, and the places on the curved, 12 (earlier - a whole floor) - up to two rooms (with a high rental fee for one of them). Within their strength, the small team works for the whole of Russia selflessly and passed through the tests of recent years due to the energy and authority of the executive director and vice-president ROS.F. Rostunov.

It should be noted that in Moscow there is another board of the Moscow Chemical Society as part of RO. Although Moscow and gives, in all likelihood, half of the potential members of the Chemical Society in Russia, the existence of the devices of two boards in Moscow at the current financial situation is a non-disabilities, and there would be a rational of their voluntary association into the general apparatus of two boards.

The first vice president of PD holds a huge work on the board of the board. Sarkisov. Thanks to his efforts, it seems, the issue of the new premises of the Board of the ROSE and the creation of a professional chemical library for members of the ROS in Moscow is being resolved. Taking this opportunity, I want to thank other vice-presidents, members of the Presidium and the Board of the ROW for disinterested work for the benefit of domestic chemistry.

According to the latest registration, the number of members of the ROS is approaching two thousands. Almost we have already reached the number of 1935 or, for example, the number of modern Swiss chemical society, and this is not bad. The potential opportunities of RoHh, like Russia itself, remain among the highest in the world, which allows us to look at the future with optimism.

Russian Chemical Society named after D. I. Mendeleev (Mendeleev Society) is a scientific society that unites scientists - chemists, engineers, technicians, teachers, workers-nov-tori chemical industry. Mendeleev Society is the successor of the Russian Chemical Society, founded in 1868, transformed into Russian Physico-Chemical Society in 1878. The founders of the Company were outstanding Russian chemists D. I. Mendeleev, A. M. Butlers, N. N. Zinin, . A. Menshutytkin, A. N. Engelgardt, N. N. Sokolov, A. A. Voskresensky, V. V. Markovnikov. N. N. Zinin was elected his first president. A. P. Borodin, M. G. Kucherov, A. E. Favorsky, D. P. Konovalov, I. A. Kelukov, A. N. Bach, A. E. Arbuzov, N. D . Zelinsky, N. S. Kursnakov, V. I. Vernadsky, L. A. Chugaev, N. A. Shilov, D. N. Sanidichnikov and many other famous scientists - the pride of Russian and soviet science. At meetings of the Russian Chemical Society, reports were made on the development of the theory of the chemical structure of organic compounds and on the opening of the periodic law of chemical elements.

Nowadays, society has more than 400 thousand members. It is divided into sections on the most important sectors of chemical science: inorganic, organic, analytical, polymer chemistry, chemical technology. In addition, there is a section on environmental protection, chemical education, student section, Section "Young Chemist". The society has branches in all union republics and in many parts, regions and autonomous republics of our country.

Mendeleev Society is the initiator of many important events organized to develop chemical science and technology. Mendeleev's congresses are held in general and applied chemistry, meetings, conferences, symposia, reviews and contests, scientific schools and seminars. The Company publishes "Journal of All-Union Chemical Society. D. I. Mendeleeva, "supports business contacts with foreign scientific and technical societies.

All-Union Chemical Society is working great work on promoting chemical knowledge, especially among young students. This is done, in particular, the "Young Chemist" section, which unites more than 140 thousand secondary school students, vocational schools and technical schools. The section takes part in the organization of chemical students of students, conducts all-union reviews of teams of young chemists and competitions of students - members of chemical circles. According to the results of the reviews and competitions, the summer kits of young chemists are organized, in which, for a whole month, young chemists meet with the well-known Soviet scientists, listen to lectures and speak with their messages, participate in competitions.

Russian Chemical Society

Academician A.I.Rusanov

St. Petersburg

Chemical society is one of the most favorite childrens D.I. Mendeleev. These lines are a story about how and why it was created that it was later and what happened. This is what the Russian Disabled newspaper writes on August 17, 1861: "Chemical society, in our opinion, is quite possible in St. Petersburg. Here are the most famous our chemists. Voskresensky, Zinin, Mendeleev, Sokolov, Shishkov, Hodnev and En-Helgardt, - and in general in St. Petersburg, many young people are engaged in studying chemistry. " This quote is notable in two respects. First, the fact that the 27-year-old Mendeleev already falls into the category of "the most famous chemists", and not "young people" (among which were, for example, 19-year-old N.A. Meschutkin, the future famous chemist and " right hand»Mendeleev). Secondly, the fact that the publicly accessible military printed body discusses, it would seem that the narrow problem of creating a professional scientific society indicates that the problem has gained wide public sound. What is it connected with? By that time, the chemists acutely felt the need for such an organization that would have given the possibility of closer professional communication. But the main reason, and it concerned not only chemists was the need for a printed publication to publish the scientific papers of Russian scientists in Russian. Need to say that authority

russian chemists in the world was then very high. It is enough to mention that in 1864 the famous German chemist E. Her-Lenmeier offered A.M. Butlerov to turn his magazine "Zeitschrift Fur Chemie und Pharmacie" to the organ of Russian chemists (published, however, german language). But our compatriots dreamed of a Russian-speaking edition.

All Russian chemists constructed that chemical society should be created in St. Petersburg, where there was the most significant community of chemists (the second largest in Kazan, the third in Moscow). It can be noted that the "grandfather of Russian chemistry" A.A. Voskreshensky was at that time the rector of the University of St. Petersburg, and the Physics and Mathematics (Chemical did not exist) and the University's Council treated the idea of \u200b\u200bthe education of a chemical society at the university very benevolently. With their support, it was already possible to storm the bureaucratic "Everest" of the Ministry of Folk Enlightenment. At this stage, the mass of energy, Mendeleev (he actively helps Menshutykin) gradually becomes the main acting person of the process and regularly informs others about step-by-step promotions. Therefore, it can be said that the official institution of the Company was his personal success.

"With St. Petersburg University, a Russian chemical society is established to promote the successes of all hours

toy chemistry and to distribute chemical knowledge, "such words begins" the charter of Rus-SKARA ChemicalsCago society ", approved by the Journalist Committee of the Ministry of October 26, 1868. From this day, the official activities of the Company began. His first president was N.N.zinin, the second - A.M. Butlerov, the Third - D.I. Indelaeev. In the first year of existence, a chemical society has grown from 35 to 60 members and continued to grow smoothly in the subsequent. It was interesting to combine the features of the club (membership fees, acceptance only on the recommendation of the three members, restrictions to bring out an extraneous), permanently operating chemical seminar (Mendeleev alone made a total of 90 reports) and a scientific publishing house. The emergence of Russian chemical society was met with the enthusiasm of the world scientific public. Many foreign societies and scientific organizations shared their books and magazines, and as a result, in two years, Russian Chemical Society has possessed the chemical library better in Russia. She still remains unique to this day (where else can you take in your hands, for example, the works of Robert Boyle?).

How and what society lived? From his initial charter, we learn that, firstly, members of the Company paid considerable membership fees (10 rubles per year), and secondly, donations are accepted for the development of a society from members, unauthorized persons and institutions,

A group of the chemical section of the first congress of Russian naturalists (Mendeleev stands the second right), who decided to create a Russian chemical society. 1868

about which is printed in protocols. " Now we know our own experience that the first sponsors of any organization are its founders. The founders of the Chemical Society in 1868 were individuals with a rather high income, because it was a professor. According to 1913, Professor of the University received 4500 rubles. (one of the most stable currencies of the world) per year: 300 rubles. More than the deputy of the State Duma, and 5 times more than the most qualified worker (what then there were driver trains). Given the small number of the first composition of the chemical society and the high level of all sacrifice from its members (up to the formation of premium funds), as well as the lack of full-time workers who made funds were quite enough to function at first.

As already noted, one of the priorities of society was to create its own magazine. Already at the first, organizational, meeting, the Commission was established (F. F. Beil-Stein, D.I. Indeleev, N.A. Ven-Sundekin) to prepare issues relating to the publication of the magazine. At the second meeting (where Zinin was elected by the President of the Company) Mendeleev presented to the edition of the publication, and on the third editor of Menshut-Kene's magazine introduced the gathered with his first release. So the "Journal of the Russian Chemical Society" arose, in 1878 renamed the "Journal of the Russian Physico-Chemical Society".

From the first years of existence, the magazine has gained a high rating, easily fit into existing chemical literature (setting exchange with other chemical journals) and became an important factor in progress

world chemical science. According to the historian of Chemistry, V. Kozlov, already in the first volume of the "magazine of the Russian Chemical Society", more than 220 new compounds were described. The same author cites the words of the President of the English Chemical Society of U.P. Yinnie, said in 1924: "Will not be correct, so that those of us who are still pretty young in order to start learning a foreign language, have tried to familiarize themselves with Russian is so much to gain access to the treasury of values, which is called the "magazine of the Russian Chemical Society". " However, the Company's publishing activities were the most difficult matter and demanded an increasing financial assistance that the universities of St. Petersburg - University, Institute of Technology, Mountain Institute, Artillery Academy and others began to provide.

D.I. Iveleev and D.P.Konovalov on the bookmark of the Chemical Laboratory of St. Petersburg University.

Further development of chemical society is also associated with the name of Mendeleev. As a scientist, he was, above all, a physician, and his dream was to unite chemists and physicists. And here he achieved success. After 10 years after the establishment of a chemical society, it was transformed into Russian Physico-Chemical Society (RFO) with two autonomous departments - physics and chemistry - and acquired more

more important to Russian science. The premium fund formed the premium fund to donate their members and other organizations of the RFHO, which became a one-row with the largest and most authoritative scientific publications of the world, one can be called the forerunner of all domestic physical and chemical magazines.

It is impossible not to mention one more important achievement of Mendeleev, which created the

viya for the work of the Russian Federation. There were problems with the room, but he also approached "globally" and with his characteristic energy achieved in the Ministry to decide on the construction of a separate building of the Chemical Laboratory of St. Petersburg University. The construction of an ultra-modern (with an imperceptible separate ventilation of different premises, the possibility of demonstrating diapositives, etc.) of the building was completed in 1894. The Board and Library of the FCO were found. By that time, Dmitry Ivanovich had no longer worked at the university, but attended the meetings of society. Essentially, the whole building is a big monument to Mendeleev and is rightly called the Mendeleev Center.

In 2007, it was a hundred years ago, as Mendeleev left this world, but his name is still inextricably linked with a chemical society. After the death of Mendeleev, St. Petersburg University redeems his personal archive from the family and creates a memorial office of Mendeleev in 1911 (now the Archive Museum, which still exists in the main building of the University), and the RFO establishes Mendeleev Congresses in general and applied chemistry. The first three congresses (in 1907, 1911 and 1922) were held in St. Petersburg (Petrograd). The revolution and post-war devastation did not change the nature of the Company's activities, although there were many difficulties. The government tried to rely on scientific and technical societies in economic recovery. In 1918, a new charter of the Company was adopted, in which the Floa was established again under the University of Petrograd and had jurisdiction throughout the RSFSR, becoming a widely open organization. In July of the same year, the RFO received 70 thousand rubles from the state. For the resumption of activities and publication of works. In the future, one-
