Andrey Aleksandrovich Fedorov ((ロシア語:Андрей Александрович Фёдоров)), born 1908 in Tver, died 5 March 1987 in Leningrad, was a Soviet Russian biologist, botanist, taxonomist and phytogeographer, who was from 1970 a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. He was the brother of the botanist Alexander Fedorov (1906-1982). == Career == Andrey Fedorov was born in Tver, the son of a gardener. His higher education was at the Tver Institute of Education, in part at the same time as his brother, and he graduated in 1929. He worked until 1935 at the station in Sukhumi, a subsidiary of the Vavilov Institute of Plant Industry. From 1935 to 1945 he continued his research at the Armenian National Academy of Sciences (before 1943, Armenian subsidiary of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR). In 1945 he moved to Leningrad to work at the Komarov Botanical Institute where he spent the rest of his career. He directed the Laboratory there from 1963. In 1955 and 1956, he took part in joint Sino-Soviet biological expedition to the province of Yunnan. In 1955 he was a signatory of the "Letter of three hundred" - addressed to the Politburo of the Central Committee of the Communist Party of the Soviet Union, which criticised the activities of Lysenko and made an overall assessment of the state of biology in the Soviet Union. The letter was drafted by a large group of Soviet scientists and led eventually to the resignation of Lysenko as president of All-Union Academy of Agricultural Sciences. Andrey Fedorov was appointed in 1970 as a corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR. His main work was devoted to the taxonomy of flowering plants, to the flora of the USSR (especially the Caucasus, to the European part of the USSR, Siberia and the republics of Central Asia), flora of other countries and to the history of the flora. Among the families studied by Fedorov, we can distinguish those of ''Campanulaceae'' and ''Primulaceae''. He was also interested in phytogeography. Fedorov was a regional adviser for the Soviet Union on the international ''Flora Europaea'' project, published in five volumes in 1964-1980. He was also co-author of ''The Flora of the USSR'', international edition published in four volumes between 1964 and 1976, and co-editor of ''The Flora of the European part of the USSR'' (1974-1979) . He died 5 March 1987 and was buried at St. Seraphim cemetery in Leningrad. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Andrey A. Fedorov」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
