Abstract

[The Great October Revolution of 1917 in Russia and the ensuing civil war caused a large flow of emigration, a significant part of which, if not quantitatively, then qualitatively, belonged to the Russian intellectual elite. Within this flow, a significant group was formed by scientists, including mathematicians. These were scientists from the capitals of St. Petersburg and Moscow, as well as from other university centers in the European part of the country. They settled in the universities of France, Yugoslavia, Czechoslovakia, the USA, Great Britain and other countries. And although, among them, we can quote a number of brilliant mathematicians, such as, for example, A.S. BesikovitchBesikovitch, A.S., V.A. Kostitzin and Y.V. UspenskyUspensky, Ya.V., their departure did not affect the development of mathematics in the country—as the leading mathematicians remained at home and the scientific potential that had accumulated by that time determined the successful development of the Soviet mathematical school, which became one of the leading world mathematical schools of the second half of the 20th century.]
