Abstract
Dmitry Vasilievich Rundqvist (1930-2022) is an outstanding Soviet and Russian geologist, mineralogist and metallogenist, Doctor of Geological and Mineralogical Sciences, Professor, President of the Russian Mineralogical Society (1987-2015), Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, full member of the Academy of Mining Sciences. He made an important contribution to theoretical geology and metallogeny: he investigated the processes of mineral and ore formation, and analyzed the most general trends in the evolution of mineral formation in geological history. He is credited with developing the structural-material principles for separating, classifying and establishing the ore content of geological formations, and creating a series of specialized metallogenic maps that reflect the main regularities in the distribution of mineral deposits and a quantitative assessment of the predicted resources of promising regions of the USSR. The formation of D.V. Rundqvist as a prominent metallogenist was held at the All-Union Scientific Research Geological Institute (VSEGEI), where he worked for 30 years, rose from junior researcher to deputy director for science. The period of work of D.V. Rundqvist in VSEGEI is dedicated to this essay.
