Developing BCS ideas in the former Soviet Union

Abstract

The essay is an attempt to re-create the wonderful scientific atmosphere that emerged after the basic BCS ideas first arrived in Russia in 1957. It summarizes the most significant contributions to the microscopic theory of superconductivity by Russian physicists during the next few years that have given the theory its modern form.
