Abstract: This article was prepared in connection with the 80th Victory Day. Information is provided on the historical experience of military geological services in scientific research practices during the Great Patriotic War. We emphasize the role of political geography and military geography as two interrelated disciplines, which study the spatial aspects of political and military activities, respectively. The active defense of the Karelian Front troops and home-front workers in Karelia and on Kola Peninsula in 1941–1944 is showcased. The article provides short notes about war veterans employed by the Institute of Geology during the Great Patriotic War: Professor P. A. Borisov, Corresponding Academician K. O. Kratz, Professor K. A. Shurkin, A. I. Bogachev, G. Ts. Luck, N. F. Demidov, B. Ya. Alekseev, A. V. Ryleev, A. S. Gulyaev, B. A. Yudin, V. N. Yudin, and others. Some wartime episodes and their work at the Karelian Research Centre after the war are described.
