An outline of the development of physics in Russia is given, with an emphasis on Russian specifics. The conflict between “academic” and “university” physics in Stalin's times is presented somewhat differently, in comparison with the available literature. The term “mystical atheism” was introduced to characterize the philosophical basis of physics of the twentieth century. A brief assessment of the state of science and education in Russia after 1991 is presented.
