In Moscow, the general meeting of the Russian Academy of Sciences is completing its work, where full members (academicians) and corresponding members of the Russian Academy of Sciences have been elected. The number of the Krasnoyarsk representatives in the highest scientific organization of the country has increased by 5 people.

In total, the members of the academy elected more than 300 new academicians and corresponding members. The competition in the elections was high: on average, four people applied for one position of an academician and eight for one position of a corresponding member. Four scientists from the Federal Research Center "Krasnoyarsk Science Center of SB RAS" received the title of Corresponding Member of RAS and a scientist got the title of Academician of RAS.

We congratulate our colleagues and wish them further success in their work!

Leading researcher at the L.V. Kirensky Institute of Physics SB RAS, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Associate Professor, laureate of the State Prize of the Krasnoyarsk Region in the field of vocational education, L.V. Kirensky Prize of SB RAS,  Academician Maksim Mikhailovich Korshunov.

The main scientific results of Korshunov M.M. are connected with the theoretical study of unusual superconductivity, its connection with magnetism and strong electronic correlations in iron pnictides and chalcogenides, cobaltites, and cuprates. A spin-fluctuation theory of superconducting pairing in multiband models of ferropnictides was developed, the appearance of a spin-resonance peak and disorder-induced transitions between s± and s++-type states were predicted, and the LDA+GTB method was formulated to describe strongly correlated systems.

Chief Researcher of the Institute of Computational Modeling SB RAS, Head of the Department of Computational Mechanics of Deformable Media, Head of the Department "Krasnoyarsk Mathematical Center", Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor Vladimir Mikhailovich Sadovsky.

The main scientific results of Sadovsky V.M. are as follows: for the first time at the mathematical level of rigor, the problem of constructing discontinuous solutions with dissipative shock waves in the dynamics of elastoplastic media has been solved. For this, the equations of the flow theory are presented in the form of variational inequalities for hyperbolic operators admitting an integral generalization. By approximating the inequalities, new computational algorithms for correcting the solution have been obtained, which have a higher accuracy than the existing ones. Using the method of variational inequalities, a general method has been developed for constructing mathematical models of rheologically complex materials (soils, rocks, composites) that resist tension and compression in different ways. On this basis, refined models of block, granular and porous media have been obtained. Computational algorithms and programs that implement the models on multiprocessor computers have been developed.

Deputy Director for Science at the Institute of Biophysics, Doctor of Biology, laureate of Scopus Award Russia Nadezhda Nikolaevna Sushchik.

The main scientific results of Sushchik N.N.: 1. The nutritional value of phytoplankton for primary consumers (zooplankton and zoobenthos) cannot be determined at the level of large taxa (divisions and classes). On the contrary, the nutritional value of zooplankton and zoobenthos for fish can be determined at the level of families, orders, classes, and even types. 2. Abiotic factors affect the biochemical quality of aquatic invertebrates, namely, the food supply for fish through various mechanisms: anthropogenic pollution with heavy metals, phenols and oil products directly reduces the content of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in the biomass, while an increase in water temperature has a negative impact due to a change in the dominant taxa. 3. For the first time, based on the analysis of marker fatty acids, it has been shown that the omnivorousness of mass species of aquatic animals does not imply the absence of selectivity in their nutrition. 4. Direct and reverse flows of organic matter between terrestrial and aquatic ecosystems are characterized by different biochemical quality. Leaf litter and humus entering water bodies are of low quality and they are not consumed by the dominant consumer species. On the contrary, flying amphibious insects are high-quality food for terrestrial consumers, as they contain physiologically valuable omega-3 PUFAs.
