The place of Russian emigration in US science and technology
«Each wave of immigration has left its own imprint to American society, each brought its own distinctive “contribution” to the formation of nation and the evolution of the American way of life».[Kennedy J.F. Nation of Immigrants. N.Y., 1964. p. 64.]
These words of President John F. Kennedy in full can be attributed to the three waves of mass immigration of Russians in the United States, because each of them has also contributed to the economic and cultural progress of the trans-Atlantic republic.
As immigrant of the first wave, journalist M. Vilchur, noted in 1918 by this time, «the majority of immigrants from Russia have chosen the USA the second homeland. Their children and grandchildren completely belong to America. They all were grateful for its generous hospitality. They make their own contribution to the construction of America, to its industry and agriculture, science and art. Representatives of the political and intelligentsia emigration almost entirely entered the mainstream of the USA life. They took place alongside the American professors and the academic world. So there is almost no university or college in the USA, where among academics there are no names of Russian immigrants». [Vilchur M. Russian in America. New York, database, pp. 136-137]
