List of Famous people born in Russia

Aleksandr Aleksandrovich Andronov was a Soviet physicist and member of the Soviet Academy of Sciences (1946). He worked extensively on the theory of stability of dynamical systems, introducing the notion of structural stability. In that context, he also contributed to the mathematical theory of self-oscillation by establishing a link between the generation of oscillations and the theory of Lyapunov stability. He developed the comprehensive theory of self-oscillations by linking it with the qualitative theory of differential equations, topology, and with the general theory of stability of motion. The crater Andronov on the Moon is named after him.

Alexander Gennadyevich Kuznetsov is a Russian mathematician working at the Steklov Mathematical Institute and J.-V. Poncelet laboratory, head of Laboratory of Algebraic Geometry and its Applications of the Higher School of Economics. He graduated from Moscow State School 57 in 1990. He received Ph.D. in 1998 under the supervision of Alexei Bondal. Kuznetsov is known for his research in algebraic geometry, mostly concerning derived categories of coherent sheaves and their semiorthogonal decompositions.
