    1. The biography and an essay of the scientific activity of the greatest Russian scientist and academician Nikolay Nikolaevich Bogolyubov, an expert of mathematical and theoretical physics, the director of the Russian Academy of Science Mathematical Institution and of the United Institution of Nuclear Physics, is written by his brother Alexey Nikolaevich Bogolyubov, a famous science historian. Both brothers and the third one, an outstanding orientalist and academician Mikhail Nikolaevich Bogolyubov, were raised in the family of clergyman and theology professor Father Nikolay Bogolyubov.

      One of the most important conclusions of the book: “He (N.N. Bogolyubov) was religious from his childhood and has carried his faith through all his life; his thoughts of God, his endeavor to percept Him contributed to his idea of the unity of all the matters”. N.N. Bogolyubov was one of the last greatest scientists who have integrated the diverse science fields in one whole. He was “from the very beginning of his scientific activity not only mathematician, but physician, theoretic physician as well, and the development of these sciences proceeded under the intense influence of his personality, making it all integral. Moreover, he had a deep knowledge of history and philosophy of science, and mathematical science in its physical essence constituted his peculiar natural philosophy”.

      For N.Bogolyubov the separation of sciences into fundamental and engineering is contingent. “All his knowledge was not separate unconnected elements of his identity… The aggregate of his knowledge was a united whole, and the base of his philosophy was his deep religiosity (as he told the number of irreligious physicians could be counted by one hand). He was the son of the Orthodox Church and always when his time and health allowed attended vespers and liturgy in the nearest temple. The Church was of his interest also as a living organism”.
