Research interests: before 1986 - petrology and geology of Precambrian granites, magmatites and granulites were research objects in the South Siberia (East Sayans, Tuva), Mongolia, Ukraine, Karelia, France, Bulgaria and Czechoslovakia. Almost all publications were done in Russian language. From 1986 to 2000 regional and deep geology of the Kola part of the Baltic shield, geochronology, duration and geodynamics of Precambrian processes, laminated intrusions metallogeny and ore potential, especially platinum-palladium mineralization; prospecting of primary and gravel diamond deposits, new ornamental materials deposits (anorthosite and the other). Publications in Russian and English including international research data.
