In memory of E.S. Fedorov (1853 - 1919)

Resuming the publication of “Proceedings of the Mining Institute”, in these lines we want to remember here who was its founder and permanent editor. The significance of E. S. Fedorov’s scientific works is enormous. He worked in the following fields of knowledge: crystallography, mineralogy, geometry, petrography and geology. He wrote over 400 works in various sections of these sciences. A fairly complete list of these works is contained in Volume III of “Materials for the Biographical Dictionary of Full Members of the Academy of Sciences,” Part 2, M-Ya, p. 205.
