All foreign encyclopedias speak of him as an outstanding American physicist. A memorial plaque adorns the wall of the prestigious George Washington University in the US capital; astronauts have named a large crater on the Moon after him. But the physicist George Gammow was the Russian Georgy Antonovich Gamow. Before perestroika, his name was banned in Russia. Only in 1990, Gamow was posthumously returned the title of Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Sciences, which he received in 1928, becoming the youngest chosen one in the history of Russian science.
