The Demidov Prize

The Demidov Prize is a national scientific prize in Russia awarded annually to the members of the Russian Academy of Sciences. One of the most prestigious and oldest awards in the world, its traditions influenced other awards of this kind including the Nobel Prize. In 1993, the Demidov prize was restored by the government of the Sverdlovsk Oblast.
