90th anniversary of the P.L. Kapitza Institute for Physical Problems RAS. Conferences and symposia


History of P.L. Kapitza Institute for Physical Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences

† 
P.L. Kapitza Institute for Physical Problems, Russian Academy of Sciences, ul. Kosygina 2, Moscow, 119334, Russian Federation

The establishment of the Institute for Physical Problems was a unique project of the Soviet government: it was set up for the scientific work of Peter Leonidovich Kapitza. The paper presents the history of the P.L. Kapitza Institute for Physical Problems of the Russian Academy of Sciences from its establishment in 1934 to the present day. It describes how the institute changed with changes in the country and how the structure, tasks, and topics of the institute's work have changed over the years of its existence. The most outstanding work of the institute's employers is presented, and the current state of the institute and the areas of its activities are described.
