One of the first articles about the Radium Institute. One of 1 000 copies published.

This issue features an article by Vitaly Khlopin (1890-1950), a prominent radiochemist, professor, and director of the Radium Institute of the USSR Academy of Sciences (1939-1950), titled 'The State Radium Institute: Its Tasks and Achievements'.
The Radium Institute was established in January 1922, under the initiative and direction of Academician Vladimir Vernadsky. The institute included a factory where Khlopin and his wife, fellow scientist Maria Pasvik, produced Russia's first high-purity radium preparations in December 1921. In 1937, the institute constructed Europe's first cyclotron. Khlopin was a leading figure in the atomic project and the founder of the Soviet radiochemistry school. Today, the institute bears his name.
