Abstract: This paper is devoted to an unknown role of A.N. Kosygin and CEMI of the USSR Academy of Sciences in the development of diamond industry of the USSR. This industry was built in the top secret regime, which was explained by the strategic role of the diamonds as a source of foreign currency needed by the Soviet Union. The paper tells about the research innovations of CEMI scientists in this field, the attitude of A.N. Kosygin who was supervising the raw diamond industry in the USSR and who was responsible for resolving a range of key research issues and implementation of the results of this work - which was market-based by its ideas and extremely important by its results. The author - at that time the Head of the diamond research group at CEMI - describes the meetings and discussions with A.N. Kosygin, his attitude to the USSR Academy of Sciences, attention to the researchers and the amazing story which allows comparing the present and the past of the life of the Academy of Sciences.
