Proceedings of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR . Geological series. 1941. No 1-3", published by the team of authors, is a unique collection of scientific articles and studies that immerse the reader in the world of geology of the early 20th century. This publication is not only valuable as a historical document, but also as a source of knowledge that can be of interest to a wide range of readers - from students and teachers to professional geologists and researchers. 1941 became a landmark for the Soviet Union, and this is reflected in the contents of the collection. In conditions of increasing tension and the approaching war, scientists continued their work, exploring the bowels of the earth and opening new horizons in the geological sciences. This collection features articles that cover a wide range of topics, from mineralogy and paleontology to tectonics and stratigraphy. Each article is written taking into account the current scientific achievements at that time and represents a contribution to the development of geological science. Readers interested in geology, geophysics and related sciences will find in this collection a lot of useful information. Students and graduate students studying geological disciplines will be able to use the materials as an additional source for their research and coursework. Professional geologists working in various industries will also appreciate the depth and quality of the research presented, which may prove useful in their practical activities. One of the key topics raised in this edition is the impact of geological processes on the development of natural resources and their use. As resources become scarcer, understanding of geological processes and their relationship to economies and ecosystems becomes particularly relevant. The authors seek not only to convey scientific facts to the reader, but also to show how these facts can be applied in real life. The style in which the collection is written is distinguished by scientific rigor and accuracy, which makes it accessible to both professionals and amateurs. The team of authors, consisting of leading scientists of the time, demonstrated a high level of training and a deep understanding of the subject. This publication will be an important contribution to the library of any researcher interested in the history of geological research in the USSR. In addition, "News of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. Geological series. 1941. No. 1-3" can be seen as part of a wider tradition of scientific publication, which continues to develop today. This is not just a collection of articles, but an important historical document that allows you to look into the past and see how scientific approaches and research methods have changed. If you are looking for books on geology, mineralogy or paleontology, this edition will be a great addition to your collection. It can also be of interest to those who are fond of the history of science and want to understand how scientific ideas developed in the face of difficult historical circumstances. Do not miss the opportunity to touch the heritage of Soviet science and learn more about how geology shaped our understanding of the world.
