It is based on historical materials for a 100-year period of activity of the departments of mineralogy, geochemistry of the National University of Uzbekistan named after Mirzo Ulugbek. Arriving in Tashkent to organize the university, A.S.

Over 50 years of pedagogical and scientific activity in two universities of the Republic (university and polytechnic institute), he created the Central Asian scientific school of genetic mineralogy and geochemistry. Developing the traditions of Moscow State University, A.S.

Thousands of graduates of the geological profile passed through his lectures and lectures of his students on mineralogy.
