Paleontological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences
January 11, 2023
The Paleontological Institute, Russian Academy of Sciences (PIN; Russian: Палеонтологический институт РАН) in Moscow is among the world's largest paleontological institutes. An affiliate of the Russian Academy of Sciences, it includes collections from all over the former Soviet Union, as well as from other countries.
During World War II, the museum operated under a skeleton staff between 1941 and 1943 as the threat of the Battle of Moscow anticipated an invasion by the German army. Some specimens were packed up to prevent damage or destruction in air raids.[1]
