ABSTRACT
It is well known, at least here in Russia, that the combinational scattering of light, a very interesting physical phenomenon of great practical value, was discovered in 1928 practically simultaneously by G S Landsberg and L I Mandelshtam in Moscow and C V Raman and K S Krishnan in Calcutta (India). However, the Nobel Prize for this discovery was awarded in 1930 to C V Raman alone and the phenomenon in question is usually referred to as the Raman effect. To the best of our knowledge, all Russian physicists have always regarded this decision of the Nobel Committee as a crying injustice.
