Российская Академия Наук [Rossijskaâ Akademiâ Nauk] (Russian Academy of Sciences)
Founding of the Society
Year	Authority / Notes
1724	In the historical section of the Президиум Российской Академии Наук (Praesidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences), we learn that the Academy was established in St. Petersburg by a decree of the Governing Senate on 1724, January 28 in the Julian calendar, that is, on 1724, February 8 in the modern (Gregorian) calendar, following an order of Emperor Peter the Great (1672-1725). Although the historical section of the Президиум Российской Академии Наук (Praesidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences) makes it quite clear that, according to the 1747 Regulations of the Academy, its name was Императорская Академия Наук и Художеств в Санкт-Петербурге [Imperatorskaâ Akademiâ Nauk i Hudožestv v Sankt-Peterburge], it does not indicate what the name of the Academy was from its founding year, 1724, until 1747. From the title of its first journal (which covered the period from 1726 to 1746), namely Commentarii Academiae Scientiarum Imperialis Petropolitanae, we may infer that its name in Latin was Academia Scientiarum Imperialis Petropolitana (Imperial Academy of Sciences and Arts of St. Petersburg). [Note that the Latin word Scientia, like its counterparts in French (Science) and in German (Wissenschaft), was rather broader in meaning than the English word Science, and generally encompassed other academic subjects, such as the arts.] This Latin name, Academia Scientiarum Imperialis Petropolitana may, in fact, be considered a correct translation of the name mentioned in the 1747 Regulations, namely Императорская Академия Наук и Художеств в Санкт-Петербурге . It seems reasonable, therefore to assume that the Academy probably had this Russian name as early as 1726, and perhaps from the date of its founding in 1724. In the historical section of the Президиум Российской Академии Наук (Praesidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences), we learn various things about the early history and its relationship to various scholars. We learn that as part of its original mandate, the Academy was intended to function as both a research institution and an educational institution. Accordingly, a university was set up under the auspices of the Academy. We also learn that several prominent foreign scientists were invited to work with the Academy. Among the best known of these were the mathematicians Leonard Euler (1707-1783), Nicolaus Bernoulli II (1695-1726), his brother Daniel Bernoulli (1700-1782), and Christian Goldbach (1690-1764). Many of these foreign scientists, including Euler and Daniel Bernoulli made their names as scientists at the St. Petersburg Academy. [Moreover, Euler became the outstanding mathematician of the Age of Enlightenment.] The historical section of the Президиум Российской Академии Наук (Praesidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences) also indicates that initially the activities of the Academy were distributed over three classes: the Mathematics class, the Physics class, and the Humanities class. As was typical of the time, the terms mathematics and physics encompassed more than a modern-day scientist would understand by them. The Mathematics class included theoretical mathematics, astronomy, geography, navigation, and mechanics. The Physics class included theoretical and experimental physics, anatomy, chemistry and botany. The Humanities class included eloquence, antiquities, ancient and modern history, law, politics and ethics. The historical section of the Президиум Российской Академии Наук (Praesidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences) notes that (although the Academy had been officially founded in early 1724) scientific sessions of the Academy did not begin until 1725, and the Academy was not officially opened until December of 1725, after the death of Emperor Peter the Great. The historical section of the Президиум Российской Академии Наук (Praesidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences) goes on to say that, in the late 18th and early 19th centuries, there was a change in the scope of the activities of the Academy. In particular, the university associated with the Academy was closed. In addition, responsibilities for the arts were transferred to the Russian Academy of Arts (the Императорская Академия Художеств [Imperatorskaâ Akademiâ Hudožestv], which had been established in 1757). Finally, the historical section of the Президиум Российской Академии Наук (Praesidium of the Russian Academy of Sciences) indicates that in 1841 some of the members of the Russian Academy [founded in 1783], which had been devoted to the study of the Russian language and literature, joined the Academy of Sciences; following this, the study of the Russian language and literature became an official part of the scope of the Academy of Sciences.
