Proceedings of the USSR Academy of Sciences
scientific journal (1933–1992)
The Proceedings of the USSR Academy of Sciences (Russian: Доклады Академии Наук СССР, Doklady Akademii Nauk SSSR (DAN SSSR), French: Comptes Rendus de l'Académie des Sciences de l'URSS [kɔ̃t ʁɑ̃dy də lakademi de sjɑ̃s də ly.ɛʁ.ɛs.ɛs]) was a Soviet journal that was dedicated to publishing original, academic research papers in physics, mathematics, chemistry, geology, and biology. It was first published in 1933 and ended in 1992 with volume 322, issue 3.
Today, it is continued by Doklady Akademii Nauk (Russian: Доклады Академии Наук), which began publication in 1992. The journal is also known as the Proceedings of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAS).
Doklady has had a complicated publication and translation history. A number of translation journals exist which publish selected articles from the original by subject section; these are listed below.
The journal is indexed in Russian Science Citation Index.
History
The Russian Academy of Sciences dates from 1724, with a continuous series of variously named publications dating from 1726.
Doklady Akademii Nauk SSSR-Comptes Rendus de l'Académie des Sciences de l'URSS, Seriya A first appeared in 1925 publishing original, academic research papers in the sciences, mathematics and technology in Russian or very occasionally in English, French or German.
Novaia Seriya replaced Seriya A in 1933, with articles published in Russian and immediately followed by a translation into English, French, or German.
Begin with the source’s own compact description: “Proceedings of the USSR Academy of Sciences” is scientific journal (1933–1992). The dossier treats that line as a proposition to test through Proceedings, USSR and Academy, not as a finished interpretation.
Why this record matters
The phrase “scientific journal (1933–1992)” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.
The date and method of observation matter as much as the stated conclusion, especially where classification or consensus has changed. The source revision retrieved here is dated May 19, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q27710721. VIAF identifies the subject as 134198793. None of the 3 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 1933, 1992, 1724 and 1726.
Scientific names, classifications and consensus can change while older terminology persists in catalogues and historical literature. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
