 (1947). In 1946 and 1950 he was awarded Stalin Prizes, and in 

 1962 the Red Banner of Labor. 



Shubnikov' s areas of research are growth of crystals, elec- 

 tric and optical properties of crystals, study of symmetry 

 (piezo-electric properties of crystals, methodics of cutting, 

 processing and polishing crystals). 



In 1962 Shubnikov was relieved of his position as Director of 

 the Institute of Crystallography.
