Vinogradov Society of Rheology At the beginning of 1960-s 
the outstanding Russian Scientist Professor G.V. Vinogradov organized 
in the Institute of Petrochemical Synthesis a specialized laboratory 
of rheology which gave start to the modern rheological investigations 
in the former USSR. Since 1964 the annual Symposia on rheology were 
held. Many well-known scientists practically from all former Soviet 
Republics made reports at these Symposia. later, in 1990 after death 
of Prof. Vinogradov the community of Soviet scientists was reformed 
into Vinogradov Society of Rheology. Until this time the Society is 
a centre of rheological life for CIS.

The Society is a member of International Rheological Committee 
and European Rheological Society which faciliattes active contacts 
between scientists of various countries.

The Seliger Lake with its area of around 260 km  is a famous
