The Russian Academy of Sciences is the national academy of Russia, which traces its start to the Saint Petersburg Academy of Sciences founded by Peter the Great in 1724. It governs a large network of research institutes across the country, and Leonhard Euler, Mikhail Lomonosov and Pavlov were among its members. The atlas links scientists to it where their cited articles say they were members or worked in its institutes.
