Science is the main driving force of state development, the most important resource of the economy, medicine, education and social sphere. The economic growth and prosperity of the state, job creation and quality of life of people depend on the work of scientists. Therefore, every year on February 8, Russian scientists celebrate their professional holiday – Russian Science Day. This date did not arise by chance: By decree of the Senate, by order of Peter I in 1724, the Academy of Sciences was founded on this day.

In 1925, the Academy of Sciences was renamed the USSR Academy of Sciences and Science Day was celebrated on the third Sunday of April. This is due to the fact that in April 1918 V. Lenin drew up «An outline of a plan for scientific and technical work». 

Considering the enormous role of Russian science in the development of the doctrine of the biosphere, the launch of an artificial Earth satellite, the construction of the world's first nuclear power plant and in commemoration of the 275th anniversary of the founding of the Academy of Sciences, by Decree of the First President of Russia B. Yeltsin (№ 717 of June 7, 1999) The USSR Academy of Sciences was renamed the Russian Academy of Sciences with a historical date of celebration Russian Science Day February 8.
