The Proceedings of the USSR Academy of Sciences (Russian: Доклады Академии Наук СССР, Doklady Akademii Nauk SSSR, DAN SSSR, French: Comptes rendus de l'Académie des sciences de l'URSS) was a Soviet journal (ISSN 0002-3264) that was dedicated to publishing original, academic research papers in physics, mathematics, chemistry, geology, and biology. It was first published in 1933 and ended in 1992 with volume 322, issue 3.
Today, it is continued by Doklady Akademii Nauk (ISSN 0869-5652).

Six issues numbered 1-6 were published during its first year, 1933. In the next year, four volumes numbered 1-4 were published, each having nine issues. Four volumes, each with nine issues, were also published in 1935, but the first two were numbered 1 and 2 whereas the last two were numbered 8 and 9 so as to re-number the seven, previously-published volumes and all future volumes unambiguously.[1] From 1936 to 1947, four volumes of nine issues were published annually like 1935. Five volumes were published in 1948. Then, every year from 1949 until 1992, six volumes of six issues each were published.
From 1933-1935, summaries of the articles and the table of contents were published in Russian (the journal's main language), English, French, and German. Additionally, volumes published in 1935-1947 were issued in multilingual editions in each of the four languages. Later, starting in 1956 and continuing thereafter, English translations of the table of contents were again provided.
Several journals of translations exist, each containing articles that pertain to a particular subject.
