Fishman (1919—2003). M. Fishman worked at the Institute of Geology (until 1958 — at the Department of Geology) from 1948 and for nearly a quarter of a century (from 1961 to 1985) headed the Institute. It was under his leadership that the main research directions of the Institute were formed and basic scientific and auxiliary laboratories were established. M. Fishman was not only a successful leader, but also an eminent scientist who made a huge contribution to the knowledge of the geological structure and history of the geological development of the European Northeast. The results of his scientific activity have largely determined the direction of geological research in this vast territory, have retained their importance for many decades, and to this day remain an example of an outstanding scientific achievement.
