Academy of Sciences of the USSR - Academy of Sciences of the USSR

Japanese: ソビエト連邦科学アカデミー - ソビエトれんぽうかがくアカデミー

The highest academic institution in the Soviet Union. Planned by Peter I in 1724, it was founded the following year by Catherine I in St. Petersburg as the Russian Academy of Sciences. After the revolution, it was renamed in 1925, moved to Moscow in 1934, and merged with the Communist Academy to include a social science department in 1936. Its basic mission was to contribute to the general improvement of basic and applied science in the Soviet Union and to research and develop the results of scientific thought in the world. It was divided into 17 departments, including mathematics, physics, chemistry, physiology, history, economics, literature, and linguistics, and each had academic facilities such as research institutes, laboratories, observatories, and museums. After the collapse of the Soviet Union, the academies of science in each republic became independent along with the republic, but most of the Federal Academy of Sciences was inherited by the Russian Academy of Sciences (established in 1990).

ソ連最高の学術機関。1724年ピョートル１世が計画，翌年エカチェリナ１世がペテルブルグにロシア科学アカデミーとして設立。革命後1925年改称，1934年モスクワに移転，1936年共産主義アカデミーを合併して社会科学部門を含めた。ソ連における基礎・応用科学の一般的向上に寄与し，世界における科学思想の成果を研究し発展させることを基本任務とした。数学・物理学・化学・生理学・歴史学・経済学・文学・言語学等17部門に分かれ，それぞれ研究所・実験所・観測所・博物館等の学術施設をもった。ソ連解体後，各共和国の科学アカデミーは共和国とともに独立したが，連邦科学アカデミーの大部分はロシア科学アカデミー（1990年発足）が継承した。
