Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan in early 30s of the XX century.
First, in 1932, the first scientific complex institution of the republic was created - the Tajik base of the USSR Academy of Sciences with the sectors of geology and biology. In Tajikistan, systematic research work began, which was carried out by scientists from the USSR Academy of Sciences in the form of complex expeditions, the tasks of which included studying the history and culture of the Tajik people, the natural resources of the republic, creating stationary research centers and training scientific personnel.
These expeditions, which brought together geographers, geologists, botanists, zoologists, geodesists, economists, scientists of other specialties, collected colossal primary material, which then served as the basis for a systematic and purposeful scientific search.
A lot of work has been done to study the flora and fauna of Tajikistan, identify its hydropower, mineral and fuel resources, outline the prospects for the development of new land and industrial development of the republic based on the use of its subsoil.
The results of the work of the expeditions were heard and discussed by the commission of the USSR Academy of Sciences, and a decision was made to organize the Tajik base of the USSR Academy of Sciences for permanent research work on the territory of the republic.
Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan in 1933.
In January 1933, the Tajik base of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR was opened, its first director was Academician S.F. Oldenburg (1863-1935). The base united the sectors of geology, botany, zoology and parasitology, soil science, and the humanities.
As a result of the work of the Tajik base of the USSR Academy of Sciences, it became necessary to create larger specialized scientific institutions - institutions capable of solving important fundamental problems.
Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan in 1940.
In 1941, the Base was reorganized into the Tajik branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences, headed by Academician E. N. Pavlovsky, in 1951 the Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan was established. The Tajik base of the USSR Academy of Sciences was transformed into the Tajik branch of the Academy of Sciences
USSR with institutes: geology, botany, zoology and parasitology, history, language and literature. The Tajik Branch of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR was headed by Academician E.N. The organization of the branch contributed to the further development of science in Tajikistan, despite the fact that its activities coincided with the difficult years of the Great Patriotic War and the post-war period of restoration of the national economy.
As a result of the ten-year activity of the Tajik branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences, the material base for the broad development of scientific research, scientists (more than 700 people) were prepared. As a result, conditions were created for the formation of the Academy of Sciences in the republic.
Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan in 1951 - 1990s.
By the Decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR of October 9, 1950, on the basis of the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Council of the Tajik SSR, the Council of Ministers of the Tajik SSR and the Central Committee of the Communist Party (b) of Tajikistan of April 14, 1951, the Academy of Sciences of the Tajik SSR was established.
In the 50s, inheritances were partly carried out in astrophysics, seismology, geology, chemistry, biology and a number of social problems, and in the 60s mathematics, experimental and theoretical physics, chemistry of oil and natural compounds were developed , physiology and biophysics of plants, economics, history, philosophy, oriental studies, etc.
The supreme governing bodies of the Academy of Sciences are elected. The supreme body is the General Meeting of Academicians and Corresponding Members. A presidium and a president are elected every 4 years to lead between sessions of the General Assembly.
The system of the Academy now has 3 departments and 19 scientific institutions uniting about 1300 scientists, including 580 doctors and candidates of sciences. The structure of the Academy of Sciences of Tajikistan includes: Physical and Technical Institute named after S. U. Umarov (1964), Institute of Astrophysics (1958), Institute of Seismic Construction and Seismology (1951), Institute of Mathematics with a Computing Center (1973), Institute of Geology (1947), Institute of Zoology and Parasitology named after E. N. Pavlovsky (1941), Institute of Plant Physiology and Biophysics (1964), Institute of Gastroenterology (1965), Pamir Institute of Biology (1969), Department of General Cotton Genetics, Section of Social Sciences - Institute of History, Archeology and Ethnography named after Ahmadi Donish (1951), Institute of Language and Literature named after Abuabdullo Rudakn (1951), Institute of Oriental Studies (1970). It included: the Institute of Geology, the Institute of Chemistry, the Institute of Seismology, the Institute of Botany, the Institute of Zoology and Parasitology, the Institute of Soil Science, Melioration and Irrigation, the Institute of Animal Husbandry, the Institute of History, Archeology and Ethnography, the Institute of Language and Literature, the Astronomical Observatory, the Department of Cotton Growing, Department of Philosophy and Department of Economics.
There were two departments in the structure of the Academy of Sciences: natural and social sciences. Thus, in a short historical period in Tajikistan, a path has been passed from scientific cells to the Academy of Sciences - a large research center that unites hundreds of scientists and covers a wide range of problems of modern science with its research.
The Academy of Sciences included 3 honorary academicians - A.N. Nesmeyanov, E.N. Pavlovsky, K.I. Satpaev, 11 academicians and 14 corresponding members. An outstanding worker of science and culture of Tajikistan, the founder of Tajik Soviet literature, Sadriddin Aini (1878 - 1954), who made a huge contribution to the study of the history of the culture of the Tajik people, was elected the first president of the Academy of Sciences of the Tajik SSR.
With the election in 1957 to the post of President of the Academy of Sciences of the Tajik SSR, the famous physicist S.U. Umarov (1900 - 1964), research in the field of exact sciences, experimental biology, and oriental studies intensified.
Since 1951, the Academy has been publishing "Reports" in Tajik and Russian, since 1960 "Izvestia" - 3 sections (in Tajik and Russian), various journals and scientific papers, provides scientific guidance on editions of the Tajik Encyclopedia.
