In 1961 Kazimirchak-Polonskaya (1961a, 1961b) published comprehensive reviews of all investigations on the dynamics of cometary orbits as well as on close approaches of the short-period comets with Jupiter for the time span covering 1770–1960 and for the first time put forward the basic problems of cometary astronomy from the standpoint of celestial mechanics. Chebotarev (1971) pointed out that “these reviews, supplemented with extensive references, can serve as a valuable manual for all researchers of cometary motions”. In 1967 Kazimirchak-Polonskaya (1967a) developed the advanced problems in a definitive form. The corresponding member of the USSR Academy of Science M.F. Subbotin (at that time the Head of the Institute) characterized the above mentioned works as “the general plan for cometary studies in the important branch of cometary astronomy”.
