Abstract

An overall view of the history of the Baksan Neutrino Observatory INR RAS creation is presented. Ground-based and underground facilities used to study cosmic rays, rare nuclear reactions and decays, register solar neutrinos, observe various geophysical phenomena are described. Some main results obtained with these facilities are given.
