This four-volume set is the most authoritative Russian-language edition of Einstein's scientific writings and remains a landmark of Soviet academic publishing. Issued in the prestigious "Classics of Science" series of the USSR Academy of Sciences, it was the first comprehensive collection of Einstein's papers anywhere in the world and is regarded by many specialists as the finest such gathering ever produced. The editorial board was extraordinary: Igor E. Tamm, Nobel laureate in physics (1958) for the discovery of the Vavilov–Cherenkov effect; the distinguished theoretical physicist Yakov A. Smorodinsky; and the philosopher and historian of science Boris G. Kuznetsov, Einstein's principal Soviet biographer. Volume I assembles the foundational relativity papers of 1905–1920, including "On the Electrodynamics of Moving Bodies," the mass–energy equivalence note, and the genesis of the general theory; Volume II carries the relativity work through 1955, embracing cosmology, gravitational waves and the unified field programme; Volume III collects the Brownian-motion papers, the photoelectric and quantum-statistical writings, and the celebrated polemical exchanges with Bohr; Volume IV gathers reviews, letters, autobiographical notes and the popular treatise "The Evolution of Physics" co-written with Leopold Infeld. Extensive scholarly commentary and bibliographies by leading Soviet physicists make this edition indispensable for the history of twentieth-century science.
