Kharkov Mathematical Society
The Kharkov Mathematical Society (Russian: Харьковское математическое общество) is an association of professional mathematicians in Kharkiv aimed at advancement of mathematical research and education. It was established in 1879 by the initiative of V.G. Imshenetskii, who also founded the St. Petersburg Mathematical Society.
The society published the Communications of the Kharkov Mathematical Society from its establishment until 1960's, when it was closed for non-mathematical reasons.
