In the first part I will talk about discovery of how mountains are formed, from the first hypotheses till modern theory of plate tectonics, and how history of this research is utterly different for the Soviet Union and the rest of the World. In the second part I will present our project on the Southern Urals territory (Karatau complex) formation, including application of experimental (‘sandbox’) modelling.
