Abstract
Among the scientists who in various ways paved the way for Laue’s discovery and for Bragg’s determination of crystal structures, there is one who occupies the most important place: E.S. Fedorov (1853–1919), the eminent Russian crystallographer. His most outstanding achievement is the derivation of the 230 symmetry space groups which now serve as the mathematical basis of structural analysis.
