Russian Society of Lovers of World Studies (ROLM)

The Society of Lovers of Natural and Physical and Mathematical Knowledge and World Studies - Astronomy and Geophysics - was entered in the Register of Societies of St. Petersburg on January 13 (26), 1909. In the 1930s, ROLM ceased to function due to repressions. Members of the Society were sent to camps, others went into exile or were subjected to administrative persecution. Later, during the years of the Great Terror, membership in the Society became a reason for destruction. By the decision of the administrative department of the Lengubispolkom in 1932, the Society was closed.
