Abstract
The recipes of the chemist Pentegov: Science and higher education in the Russian Far East. B. P. Pentegov arrived in Vladivostok during the years of the Civil War and became one of the chief organizers of science and higher education in the Russian Far East, as well as founder of a school of chemical research. His interests, typical of the 1920s, were directed at the study and development of local natural resources. He investigated the physicochemical properties of coals and other mineral deposits in the area, developed methods for extracting salt from sea water and iodine from seaweeds, helped establish fish processing industries in Vladivostok and wineries using local grapes. In 1932 he became director of a newly organized Chemical Institute, but his arrest in 1933 and the subsequent closing of the Far Eastern branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences seriously delayed further development of chemical research and higher education in the region.
