Russian Academy of Sciences (shortened to PAH, RAN) is the national academy of Russia. This organization includes scientific institutes from all across the Russian Federation. It is an honour to be elected to membership of the Academy, and as of 2005 there are slightly less than 500 full members of the academy. During the time of the Soviet Union it was known as the Academy of Sciences of the USSR and was the All-Union institution, rather than just of the Russian SFSR. The Academy is headquartered in Moscow.
