N V Timofeeff-Ressovsky in Germany (July, 1925-September, 1945)

摘要

Many books and articles about the outstanding Russian geneticist, biophysicist and radiobiologist Nikolai Vladi-mirovich Timofeeff-Ressovsky have appeared during the last few years, including a brief account in this journal (Korogodin et al 2000). But not all periods of his life have been covered equally, and only recently has his stay in Germany been written about. Documents that are now being made accessible allow a more complete study of his achievements and life in those two decades. With their help one can attempt a rational analysis of the life and scientific development of N V Timofeeff-Ressovsky.
