Abstract

The Borissiak Paleontological Institute of the RAS, created in 1930 with the goal of studying the diversity of extinct organisms that lived on the Earth millions and billions of years ago, has been successfully solving this task for nine decades, and in a number of areas it has been holding world scientific leadership for a long time. The current generation of researchers, who make up the institute’s team, carefully preserves the continuity with respect to their predecessors in the main, pronounced focus on the integration of a wide variety of knowledge about the evolution of life and the conditions of its existence.
