The article presents the meaningful review of the half-century history of the scientific activity development at the Moscow State Technical University of Civil Aviation, from the date of the University establishment in 1971 up to the present. It is noted that originally the university was faced with the challenge of designing an organizational structure comprising research units, which was successfully solved, and consequently, two years later the first research findings emerged. The competent strategy of the University Authority and the Academic Senate focused on the main fields of scientific research for decades. Obtaining employment by the acclaimed Russian scientists at the University as well as involvement of gifted and promising post-graduate researchers with science facilitated the formation of the University scientific schools. The article features the most significant stages of the scientific school formation of I.S. Golubev, I.M. Sindeev, A.A. Kuznetsov, V.I. Vasiliev, V.G. Vorobyov, S.V. Kuznetsov, N.N. Smirnov, Yu.M. Chinyuchin, V.G. Tsipenko, I.V. Nikitin, V.S. Strelyaev, V.S. Shapkin, S.K. Kamzolov, A.I. Kozlov, A.I. Logvin, V.D. Rubtsov, V.V. Solomentsev, E.E. Nechaev, O.V. Repinoy, O.D. Garanina, B.P. Eliseev, V.V. Vorobyov, etc. It is noted that the international scientific cooperation; the Thesis Board activity; publications, authors’ certificates, patents, University researchers’ awards in respective fields of science, demonstrating the results of fundamental and applied research, contributed to the formation of the University scientific authority. The article deals with the key issues of the University science development during different years as well as the current day challenges.

In the article, the author, based on the methodological principles of historicism, objectivity, systematics, explored the specific achievements of Kharkiv University scientists, who worked in the first half of the XIX century, in the formation and development of science History of State and Law. Their scientific works, in accordance with the main trend in the genesis of this science at that time, were centered around the law of Kyiv Rus and, in particular, the content of the Rus’ka Pravda (Russian Truth). This area of their activity is studied insufficiently in the scientific literature, both domestic and foreign. This is due to the fact that the main contribution to the development of these issues was made in the second half of the XIX century – then a significant number of works on this topic was published, which provided an opportunity for their systematic analysis. The activity of scientists of this university in the first half of the XIX century concerns the period of formation of historical and legal science. Hence the main shortcomings of their work: a certain fragmentation in the coverage of problems, a narrow historiographical base, the hypothetical nature of some theses. Professor Uspenskyi was the first who started working on the history of law at Kharkiv University and considered the question of “the antiquity of Russian laws and their dignity”. At that time, scholars of many universities in the empire had to prove the authenticity of the Rus’ka Pravda and those laws that was not yet generally accepted. O. Kunitsyn, a professor of Kharkiv University, also expressed some doubts in this, although he cannot be attributed entirely to the supporters of the “skeptical school” in Russian historiography. O. Paliumbetskyi made the most significant contribution to the development of historical and legal science at that time at Kharkiv University. He conducted one of the first comparative studies of Old German and Old Rus law, convincingly showed their differences, some influence of German law on Russian, which he considered insignificant. Quite thorough and one of the best was his study of treaties between Rus and Byzantium in the X century. Based on the provisions of these agreements, the scientist made a successful attempt to determine the essence of some of Old Rus laws, in particular on revenge, compensation to the victim and court evidence. Most of his arguments were tested over time and are not disputed by modern scientists. Scientists-lawyers of Kharkiv University in that period did not form a separate scientific school, as happened at the University of Kyiv due to the activities of M. Ivanishev, but they worked in line with the then prevailing paradigms in Russian historiography, and made a certain contribution to the formation of historical and legal science. Therefore, their scientific activity deserves further study.

Анализируется современный контекст развития информационного общества в части его системных характеристик, влияющих на науку в целом. Выдвигается тезис о закономерном переходе научной деятельности в сферу массового производства. Авторами сформулирована гипотеза о комбинированном (индивидуальном и коллективном) подходе к научному открытию. In the article, the authors consider the natural-artificial process of knowledge development as one of the promising ways to create a new type of community. The article considers the current context of the development of the information society in terms of its system characteristics that affect science as a whole. The thesis about the natural transition of scientific activity to the sphere of mass production is put forward. The authors formulate a hypothesis about a combined (individual and collective) approach to scientific discovery.

This review briefly covers periods of my early life; experiences during World War II; my school education; and my period as a medical student in Bonn, Hamburg, and Düsseldorf. Mainly emphasized is my scientific career after finishing my medical internship and periods as a postdoc at the Institute for Microbiology in Düsseldorf and the Virus Laboratories of the Children's Hospital of Philadelphia and as Senior Research Fellow at the Institute of Virology in Würzburg, Germany. Subsequent appointment as chairman of the newly established Institute of Virology, University of Erlangen-Nürnberg, in a similar position at the University of Freiburg, and then for 20 years as scientific director of the Deutsches Krebsforschungszentrum, Heidelberg, are discussed, covering the scientific developments during these periods. The emeritus period since 2003 was particularly exciting, leading to the discovery of autonomously replicating plasmids, derived from specific bacteria, and their link to common human cancers (colon, breast, and prostate).
