Историческая справка
Timiryazev Moscow Biological State Museum was created in 1922 by the biologist Boris Zavadovskiy (a disciple of the biologist K. Timiryazev, the geneticist N. Koltsov and the physiologist I. Pavlov). The original collection of anatomical and biological preparations first occupied two halls of the University on Miusskaya Ploshchad. After the museum’s opening in May 1922 Zavadovskiy decided to draw it into city’s organic structure and turned the garden on Miusskaya Ploshchad into an exhibition of unique plants — the results of genetical research and artificial selection. Since then this garden has helped to spread biological knowledge and also has served as an example of a new practice: of gardening in districts which lacked greenery. In 1934, after the request of Maksim Gorkiy, Timiryazev Museum moved to a new building in Malaya Gruzinskaya Ulitsa, the complex built in Pseudo-Russian style — the estate of Pyotr Shchukin, a remarkable Russian collector of the 19th century, a merchant and a philanthropist. A few years later a greenhouse was built on its territory. The museum exposition certainly relates not only to greenery, but to Zavadovskiy's bravest investigations in unexplored areas of biology. An hot topic of the 1920’s — the hormones — was a subject of his scientific curiosity. Having studied the influence of hormones he found a way to change sexual characteristics of experimental hens and roosters, studied fertility of farm animals and developed methods of early diagnostics of pregnancy and identifying sex of a fetus (the future express-tests!), studied the question of environmental influence on an organism and the inheritance of acquired characteristics.
