"It provides an outstanding overview of the achievements in analytical science in Russia during the last century, when much of the development remained unrecognized outside the Soviet block. This book might be considered as a reference book for those interested in history of science, in particular analytical science of the twentieth century until now. ... the book is a unique resource to any scientist interested in the development of this field." (Reiner Salzer, Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry, Vol. 411, 2019)
