День науки.
8 февраля в РФ отмечается День российской науки. Праздник был учрежден указом президента РФ в 1999 году. Дата выбрана не случайно. Дело в том, что 8 февраля 1724 года (28 января по старому стилю) Указом правительствующего Сената по распоряжению Петра I в России была основана Академия наук. В 1925 году она была переименована в Академию наук СССР, а в 1991 году – в Российскую Академию наук.
Для нашей страны данный праздник имеет особенное значение. Россия по многим позициям выходила и выходит на первое место в самых различных областях науки. Россия стала первой страной, где было разработано учение о биосфере, впервые в мире в космос запущен искусственный спутник Земли, введена в эксплуатацию первая атомная станция. Во всем мире известны такие ученые, как М. В. Ломоносов, И. П. Павлов, Д. И. Менделеев, Э. К. Циолковский, П. Л. Капица, Л. Д. Ландау, И. В. Курчатов, С. П. Королев, – вот лишь немногие из тех российских ученых, кто внес ощутимый вклад в развитие мировой науки и всего человечества.
Наука – это главная движущая сила прогресса, важнейший ресурс развития национальной экономики, медицины, образования, всей социальной сферы. От достижений ученых напрямую зависят не только экономический рост и создание новых высокопроизводительных рабочих мест, но и качество жизни миллионов людей.
