In 1957, the Soviet government decided to build a science-based village in Siberia. The city is named after the academic city or academy.

Thousands of scientist will go to work in the town known as educators' city.

One of the first scientists who went to work in the academic city was Victor Vorand.

"Everything was different in the middle of the jungle, but the air was very clear, when the snow fell in the snow, in November, the streets would have become white - one day - two days - the ice did not melt for a week, and sometimes there was ice for a month."

Victor Frazz went there with his wife and children. From 1962 he worked 46 years ago. As a researcher of chemistry in the Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, he joined the work there.

The new city, named Academgorodak or Academic City, resides there 25,000, almost everyone is going to be a scientist or not a scientist. The average age of those working in the research institute is below thirty

Life in Siberia's Berhadda Beranmabhoomi was difficult.

The city has been built in the middle of the Siberian Berfdunka Beranbhumi, in the forest of the jungle, living where it is difficult.

But according to Victor Fraud, there was a logical reason for scientists creating a city for those wild jungle.

"There was plenty of vegetation in the deep forests - the mineral resources were plentiful. It was necessary to know how to look for these resources and how to use them. And that is why the forest was created in the forest. "

He says that 1957 was chosen to build a city dedicated to the service of the Soviet scientists, because of its lack of science in the country.

"In the 1920s and 30s, during the war, the Soviet Union had been pursuing the study of science, because many prominent, first-rank scientists, even Nobel laureates, had either left the country or had been fishermen, so it was necessary to create a new scientist."

From Zaar, people were sent to Libya to send them to exile.

"Would you send someone to a better place in exile?" Siberia said that the picture of a horrific place floated in the minds of people - where wolves ate. "Scientists from other parts of Russia were afraid to hear in Siberia - because Siberia was too far from Moscow or Leningrad" Victor francs

Apart from the university, the academic city or scientists were founded in different cities of the city, which were working on research on special branches of science. But there was an attachment between them - the connection was there.

The first company that was established in that city was the job of water resources. Institute of Hydrodynamics

The director of this organization Mikhail Lavrentef was the head of the entire Academy.

He was tempted to agree to go to Siberia from Moscow, where huge money would be invested for laboratory equipment.

Soviet Union wanted to create a new generation scientist

"They have not shown any greed for our wages, they have attracted us with great opportunities and good housing opportunities, where they provided us with good lodging." At that time there was a great crisis of accommodation in the Soviet Union. Most of the young people - even after marriage - were still with childbirth We certainly wanted to stay independent - but we could not afford it. "

There was also food crisis in the Soviet Union. And who would get the food depends on the status of the educational institution.

"The people who were educators and those who had a doctorate degree were provided food at home and the educators had the right to eat good food, they could eat fruits, various meats, sausage and paneer."

But in the science city, ordinary residents also had the opportunity to eat good food.

Victor Vora's wife was also a scientist. His wife went first to the academic city. Then, with the boy, Viktor Vorand went there.

The talented scientists like him used to work for hours in the deserted Siberia, because they wanted to do something which encourages and encourages and that is useful for human beings. There was also scientific equipment available for work, compared to other parts of the country, although bureaucracy was the post.

Another great benefit for those who worked there was the education opportunities for children in a good school in the education city.

There was an opportunity for higher education in an exceptional school in a new city. The most talented children from different parts of the Soviet Union were admitted every year in that school. Students were selected through competitive examinations nationwide. The school was a meritorious pillar.

However, scientists in the academic city of Siberia were not free to work, think or talk. Victor says that in the 1930s people had been silent in the light of the teachings of the people of Stalin's oppression.

"We thought one way - but when I opened my mouth - when I said otherwise, the experience taught us to speak like this, not everyone had the courage to speak against a communist party."

Scientists had many contradictory issues in that education. People used to listen to jazz music on one side - but on the other hand, they kept on talking - there was no freedom of speech. On the one hand, a lot of money was poured for research - modern research was encouraged - but for the purchase of research equipment, a year ago was required to order- old bureaucraticness was not exempted.

Still scientists believe that the academic city or science-city test that was developed sixty years ago was successful.

"Of course this city is a great achievement, a new generation of scientists has been brought here, those who are working here are graduates of our university here." What is the main resource of Russia? Oil and gas, who have found this wealth - who have lifted it? Scientists from Siberia, "said Victor Vorand, a scientist who has been in the academic city
