And already on October 14, 1928, the resolution of the CEC and the CPC of the BSSR was published in the central newspapers of Belarus. The famous Belarusian historian Vsevolod Ignatovsky was elected its first president in December 1928. Among the first academicians are such famous names as Yanka Kupala, Yakub Kolas, Tsishka Gartny. The opening of the Academy of Sciences took place on January 1, 1929. Over the years, the Academy changed its name – initially it was called the Belarusian Academy of Sciences, then the Academy of Sciences of the Belarusian SSR, later the Academy of Sciences of Belarus. Since 1997 it has the status of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus.
