Lebedev Physical Institute

Steklov Institute of Mathematics or Steklov Mathematical Institute (Russian: Математический институт имени В.А.Стеклова) is a premier research institute based in Moscow, specialized in mathematics, and a part of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The institute is named after Vladimir Andreevich Steklov, who in 1919 founded the Institute of Physics and Mathematics in Leningrad. In 1934, this institute was split into separate parts for physics and mathematics, and the mathematical part became the Steklov Institute. At the same time, it was moved to Moscow. The first director of the Steklov Institute was Ivan Matveyevich Vinogradov. From 1961–1964, the institute's director was the notable mathematician Sergei Chernikov.The old building of the Institute in Leningrad became its Department in Leningrad. Today, that department has become a separate institute, called the St. Petersburg Department of Steklov Institute of Mathematics of Russian Academy of Sciences or PDMI RAS, located in Saint Petersburg, Russia. The name St. Petersburg Department is misleading, however, because the St. Petersburg Department is now an independent institute. In 1966, the Moscow-based Keldysh Institute of Applied Mathematics (Russian: Институт прикладной математики им. М.В.Келдыша) split off from the Steklov Institute.

Dorodnitsyn Computing Centre (Russian: Вычислительный центр им. А. А. Дородницына РАН), known as the Computing Centre of the Academy of Sciences (CC RAS) until 2015, is a research institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences of the Soviet Union. It was established in 1955. Its areas of research include: Computational Fluid Dynamics Mathematical Physics Mathematical modeling of Climatic Ecological Processes and other Nonlinear Phenomena Solid mechanics and Elastic-Plastic Problems Pattern Recognition and Image Analysis Computer Aided Design Optimization Methods, Linear and Nonlinear programming Analytical mechanics and Lyapunov's Stability of Motion Rigid body dynamics and Space Dynamics Interactive Optimization and Decision support systems Parallel Computing Artificial Intelligence Mathematical modeling of Economic Processes Software developmentAnatoly Dorodnitsyn, for whom the centre is named, was its director from 1955–1989. The prestigious Journal of Computational Mathematics and Mathematical Physics has been published by the Computing Centre since 1960. The game Tetris was created by Alexey Pajitnov at the Computing Centre. After 15 June 2015, CC RAS was included in Federal research centre "Informatic and Control" of RAS and now no longer exists as an independent institute.

The streets in the district are named after famous scientists and engineers. The Akademichesky metro station is on the Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya line (No. 6), with a transfer to the planned Kommunarskaya line (No. 16).

The Gubkin Russian State University of Oil and Gas (Russian: Российский государственный университет нефти и газа имени И. М. Губкина) is a public university in Moscow, Russia. The university was founded in 1930 and is named after the geologist Ivan Gubkin. The university is colloquially known as Kerosinka (Russian: Керосинка), meaning 'kerosene stove'. During the Soviet period, the university, along with the Moscow State University of Railway Engineering, was known for admitting students of Jewish origin while other universities unofficially barred Jewish students. Affiliates of the Gubkin institute exist in Orenburg and Tashkent (Uzbekistan).

Akademicheskaya (Russian: Академи́ческая, IPA: [ɐkədʲɪˈmʲitɕɪskəjə],English: Academy's) is a station on the Moscow Metro's Kaluzhsko-Rizhskaya Line. It is named for the several Akademichesky Proyezd streets formerly located nearby, which were themselves named after the Russian Academy of Sciences but have all been renamed since. Akademicheskaya opened on October 13, 1962, and was designed by Yuliya Kolesnikova, Petukhova, and Fokina. Built to the relatively new pillar-trispan design (aka Sorokonozhka, centipede), which became prevalent in the 1960s due to its low construction costs. The station has white marble pillars accented with a stripe of black marble near the top. The walls, originally faced with white tile with four horizontal blue stripes, were re-covered in 2003 with similarly coloured aluminium planes for a cleaner, more modern look. The entrances to the station are located around Ho Chi Minh Square, at the intersection of Profsoyuznaya and Dmitriy Ulyanov streets. Currently the station serves 67,400 passengers daily. In 2024, a transfer to Akademicheskaya on the Troitskaya line is planned.

Krymskaya (Russian: Крымская) is a Moscow Metro station under construction on Troitskaya line. It is scheduled to be opened in September 2025 as part of the northern extension of the line, between Novatorskaya and ZIL. It will be located between Akademicheskaya and ZIL. There will be a transfer to the eponymous station of the Moscow Central Circle.

Akademicheskaya (Russian: Академическая) is a Moscow Metro station under construction on Troitskaya line. It is scheduled to be opened in September 2025 as part of the extension of the line, between Novatorskaya and ZIL. It will be located between Vavilovskaya and Krymskaya.

The Ho Chi Minh monument in Moscow (Russian: памятник Хо Ши Мину) at Ho Chi Minh Square in Akademichesky District memorializes North Vietnamese president Ho Chi Minh, who was Chairman and founder of the Workers' Party of Vietnam.

Luzhniki Metro Bridge (Russian: Лужнецкий метромост), also known as Metromost (Метромост), is a concrete double-decked (two-level) arch bridge carrying a road and a Moscow Metro line across the Moskva River in Moscow, Russia. It connects the neighbourhood of Luzhniki Stadium to Sparrow Hills. The bridge houses Vorobyovy Gory, the only station of Moscow Metro located over water. Designed in 1958 by V.G. Andreyev and N.N. Rudomasin (structural engineering), the bridge rapidly decayed and was rebuilt in 1997–2002.
