Abstract
The article is devoted to the issues of formation and development of mining and metallurgical science in Russia. It is shown that the fundamental thoughts about the necessity of higher mining education belong to M.V.Lomonosov and his colleagues at the Academy of Sciences. The outstanding role of M.F. Soimonov as a major scientist, statesman and direct organizer of the first Russian St. Petersburg Mining School, which later became the Mining Institute, is highlighted. The author characterizes the Russian scientific schools in the field of geology, mining and metallurgy, formed at the Mining Institute, and their most prominent representatives.
