Abstract. The name of the famous geologist and teacher Alexander Vladimirovich Lvov (1871-1941) is well known not only to specialists, but also to everyone who is interested in the history of scientific research in Siberia. Lviv stood at the origins of the creation of geological education in Irkutsk, created a scientific school of engineering geology and permafrost science in Siberia, participated in the study of minerals in the Baikal region and mining conditions of the construction and operation zone of the Trans-Siberian Railway. One of the areas of his research was to participate in the exploration of sites for the construction of hydroelectric power plants in the Angara region.

Keywords: A.V. Lvov, engineering geology, mining and technical surveys, hydroelectric power plants in the Angara region, Bratsk rapids.

P. 21–36
