Abstract—Main events in the formation and development of the Russian radioecological school are reviewed,
from the first basic doctrines proposed by V.I. Vernadsky and V.N. Sukachev, through the experimental radiation
biogeocenology developed by N.V. Timofeeff-Ressovsky, V.M. Klechkovskii, and their followers, to recent
studies in the zones of nuclear accidents, including the Chernobyl accident, which has global significance.
