Description: 
The Institute was organized in 1922. In early 1959, the name of the 
Institute was changed from “imeni S. M. Kirov" to “imeni V. I. Lenin". 
It devotes considerable attention to research for the metallurgical, 
coal, chemical, petroleum, and heavy-machine industries. It has investigated 
methods of improving production processes and reducing production losses, 
and of increasing the supply of coal and manganese. Much work is performed 
in the area of deformation studies. The Institute publishes a Trudy.
