Abstract
A little-known history of the contribution of Russian chemists to the foundation of the French Chemical Society (La Société Chimique de France) was discussed in the context of the original proceedings of the earliest meetings of the Society and some other materials of that time (1857–1860). It was shown that prominent Russian chemists, such as A.M. Butlerov, L.N. Shishkov, and some others, were among the founders of the Society and its most active members during the formative years of this scientific organization.
