Abstract
On May 18, 1957, the Soviet Government adopted a decree about establishing the Siberian Branch of the Academy of Sciences (SB AS USSR). The initiative for this historical decision was backed up by several prominent scientists: academicians M.A. Lavrentyev, S.A. Khristianovich, and S.L. Sobolev. They promoted the idea of creating a new territorial division of Academy and supported this idea by personal decision to reallocate it from the capital to Siberia together with their scientific schools.
