The law on regulation of hunting in the Russian Empire (1892) was still 90 years away, when the Emperor Alexander I took over the role of an official in issuing permits for shooting wild animals. It is true that such an order concerned only one area, Belovezhskaya Forest, and one species, the bison (or Bison bonasus in scientific jurisprudence). By the beginning of the 19th century, the vastest tract of forest in Europe remained the only place where these bison could live.

On average, it takes several decades for a university graduate who wants to build a research and teaching career to become a professor. If he turns out to be capable of it at all. However, Grigori Helmersen, the son of a Livonian baron, received the position the year he graduated from the Mining Institute. In the future he was to head his alma mater, become one of the founders of the Russian Geographical Society, an ordinary member of the Academy of Sciences, as well as the initiator and first director of the Geological Committee.

Russia did not learn about sanctions in 2014. Back in the 1930s, during the implementation of the first five-year plans, the USSR waged an active struggle for independence from the global capitalist market. In its attempts to subjugate our country’s economy to its control, the West tried all sorts of tricks: from the credit and ”gold” blockade (refusing to accept Soviet gold in 1920) to the anti-dumping campaign and special treatment for Soviet exports. The only possible path to development remained the policy of import substitution.

At the defense itself, which was held within the framework of the double diploma program, Karsten Drebenstedt, director of the Mining Institute of the Freiberg Mining Academy, was present as a member of the grading committee and supervisor of the student on the German side.

Senegalite, an aqueous aluminum phosphate, is named after the country where it was first found. It happened in 1976. Senegal, independent from France since 1960, had then constitutionally enshrined a multi-party system. The most westernized country on the African continent took another step toward developing its own political culture, which naturally did not cancel out the influence of soft power from the former metropolis. One of its manifestations: the authorship of all the basic scientific materials on Senegalite belongs to the Ecole Nationale Supérieure des Mines de Paris.

The year 1956 marked the 100th anniversary of the birth of Georgy Plekhanov, the Russian Marxist theorist whose works Lenin called the most important ”textbook of communism.” In honor of the anniversary, the Mining Institute in St. Petersburg was named after the revolutionary. At first glance, this seems an ordinary occurrence, but the paradoxical situation was that Plekhanov was a Menshevik and almost openly accused the Bolshevik leader of treason against his homeland. Twenty years after 1917, such figures were, as Beria put it, ”washed into camp dust.

The most popular and memorable image that appears in all the movies about the extraction of ”black gold” is the fountain gushing from the well under pressure. But few people know that in Russia there is only one field where oil is extracted in underground mines and can only be obtained by one method - preheating.
