Summary Even this bare outline indicates the major and diverse contributions to the development and growth of petroleum chemistry that have been made by scientists of the Academy of Sciences. The increasing importance of petroleum chemistry in the overall system of chemical sciences has been recognized; in 1963, this area was singled out in the Academy of Sciences as an independent research area, and the Scientific Council on Petroleum Chemistry of the USSR Academy of Sciences was established and given the overall responsibility in this area. This Council is charged with the coordination of work on petroleum chemistry in the USSR Academy of Sciences, Academies of Science of the Union republics, and institutions of higher education. In the USSR today there is a well-developed network of scientific-research organizations in the petroleum-chemistry profile, and petroleum chemists and scientists make up the largest group of Soviet chemists. Working persistently on the urgent problems of petroleum chemistry, they are doing all within their power to bring into reality the program adopted by the 24th Congress of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, “A Program for Growth of the Socialist Economy and Culture and for Increasing the Standard of Living of the Soviet People.” The resolution of the April (1975) Plenum of the Central Committee of the CPSU, on convening the next (25th) Congress of the CPSU, has evoked from these workers in petroleum chemistry, the same as for our entire nation, a new influx of labor enthusiasm and a resolve to increase the efficiency of scientific work and to step up the contributions of scientists to the theory and practice of petroleum chemistry and to the overall progress of the petroleum refining and petrochemical industry.
