It is widely known throughout the world simply as the Landau School (Kojevnikov, 2004). Many generations of aspiring theoretical physicists have been trained by top researchers at the Institute in a highly conducive environments that is completely geared toward learning (Kojevnikov, 2004).

There are specific main fields for scientific research that the Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics has been involved with throughout the past forty years (Kojevnikov, 2004). These all-important areas include:

Condensed matter theory

Quantum field theory

Nuclear and elementary particle physics

Computational physics

Nonlinear dynamics

Mathematical physics (Kojevnikov, 2004).

The Landau Institute has survived throughout many Russian crises times - most notably those that took place throughout the 1990s (Kojevnikov, 2004). Some of the best experts left Russia to work at centers for science throughout the world.
However, the large majority of them have kept up ties with Landau Institute, which has allowed them to form a world-wide Landau network, always showing pride in the Landau School.

Most of the experts, though, remained in Russia (Kojevnikov, 2004).

At last count, the main faculty of the Landau Institute was comprised of 104 people. Forty-seven of these individuals had permanent positions in various leading centers of science and in universities abroad (Kojevnikov, 2004). It is clear from this that Nobel Physics Prize winner Lev Davidovich Landau not only did much good for the world during his lifetime, but that the work that he did had a ripple effect that continued to spread throughout the world even after he had passed on......
