18 September 2006, St. Petersburg Fridtjof NANSEN Nansen was an outstanding scientist. Thanks to his original studies and challenging expeditions our knowledge about Arctic has crutually increased. The results of his works laid the foundation for currently important research in the Arctic Ocean He was also a great humanist organizing repatriation for prisoners of war and refugees in Europe. He organized help for millions of Russians during the starvation after the revolution and war For his contribution to the peacemaking and humanistic deeds, in 1922 Fridtjof Nansen was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize For his personal benefaction and mobilization of the world community to mitigate the sufferings of the population of Russia in the early 20th century, Nansen is greatly respected and forever thankfully remembered in our country St. Petersburg29 April 2010
