The fundamental scientific achievements and research directions during 1865-1933 years was highlighted. It was found that teaching the basics of soil science at the University of Novorossiya started in the mid-nineteenth century by I.U. Palimpsestov. Thanks to the D.M. Abashev, A.O. Bychyhina, S.V.
