Lenin and physics of the 20th century: Kyiv, Vydavnytstvo AN URSR [Publishing House of the Academy of Sciences of the Ukrainian SSR], 1947, 117p.

The work aimes to study the potential of the application of the scientific and philosophical work of Lenin, as a representative of the Marxist worldview, to solve the key problems of natural science and physics of the 20th century. The author points out that these problems had previously been unsuccessfully solved on the basis of idealistic and Machist philosophies. Therefore, in order to emphasize the prospects of applying Marxist philosophy to these problems and the advantages of Marxism over the above-mentioned positions, Omelyanovsky refers to the main works of Lenin in order to address the problems of matter and motion, space and time, causality and interaction on this basis.
