In brief

What Russian Academy of Sciences is

Full article ↗

The Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS; Russian: Росси́йская акаде́мия нау́к, РАН, romanized: Rossiyskaya akademiya nauk, RAN) consists of the national academy of Russia; a network of scientific research institutes from across the Russian Federation; and additional scientific and social units such as libraries, publishing units, and hospitals. Peter the Great established the academy (then the St. Petersburg Academy of Sciences) in 1724 with guidance from Gottfried Leibniz.

From its establishment, the academy benefited from a slate of foreign scholars as professors; the academy then gained its first clear set of goals from the 1747 Charter. The academy functioned as a university and research center throughout the mid-18th century until the university was dissolved, leaving research as the main pillar of the institution. The rest of the 18th century continuing on through the 19th century consisted of many published academic works from Academy scholars and a few Academy name changes, ending as The Imperial Saint Petersburg Academy of Sciences right before the Soviet period.

In context

How Russian Academy of Sciences compares

Counts over companies and vessels actually held in this directory — not over the world fleet, which is larger. Nothing here is estimated.

With 4 vessels attributed to it here, Russian Academy of Sciences is the 213th largest of the 965 operators in this directory that hold at least one ship on record, against a median of 2 across that group. That is a count of individually identified hulls, not the company’s published fleet size — the two are different measurements and both are shown above where available.

Russia is the country of registration for 22 commercial operators in this directory, among which Russian Academy of Sciences ranks 6th by ships on record. Between them those companies hold 62 vessels here. See every operator registered in Russia.

Founded in 1724, Russian Academy of Sciences is 302 years old. This directory holds 2 operators founded within five years either side of that date, whose median fleet on record is 2 ships. The median founding year across all commercial operators here is 1966, and the oldest on record dates to 1514.
