Abstract: The authors of the article set themselves the task: to familiarize the mathematical community with the history of the citywide algebraic seminar in Tula, which became widely known in the USSR, and then in Russia. The seminar was held at the Tula State Lev Tolstoy Pedagogical University. Scientists and postgraduates from many cities of the Soviet Union came to Tula to present their research at this seminar (Leningrad, Moscow, Ivanovo, Novosibirsk, Krasnodar, Rostov, etc.). The work of the seminar is associated with the name of M.D. Grindlinger. In the history of the Mathematical Faculty of Tula State Lev Tolstoy Pedagogical University, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor Martin Davidovich Grindlinger holds a special place. Many Tula students of M.D. Grindlinger successfully defended their PhD theses: A.E. Ustyan, A.A. Chebotar, V.A. Grinblat, V.N. Bezverkhnii, E.V. Rollov, Yu.A. Ignatov, B.P. Vankov, I.S. Bezverkhnyaya, A.I. Nekritsukhin In 1981, now Professor, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences N..M. Dobrovolskii enrolled in graduate school to M.D. Grindlinger, who headed the Tula Algebraic School, but nevertheless gave his new graduate student complete creative freedom, thanks to this, N.M. Dobrovolskii classes continued at a seminar with N.M. Korobov at Lomonosov Moscow State University, which played a huge role in the revival of the Tula School of Number Theory. The first of the students of the Tula Algebraic school of M.D. Grindlinger, V.G. Durnev, is a graduate of the faculty, defended his doctoral thesis in 1998, currently he works at Yaroslavl University, V.N. Bezverkhnii, a graduate of the faculty, became the second doctor in 1999. The third doctor was D.I. Moldovanskii (Ivano State University) I.V. Dobrynina (Moscow), D.N. Azarov and E.V. Sokolov (Ivanovo) defended their doctoral dissertations on the subject of the algebraic scientific school of Grindlinger The work of the algebraic seminar was then headed by the Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor Vladimir Nikolaevich Bezverkhnii, a graduate of the faculty - a student of M.D. Grindlinger. This article continues the work of V.G. Durnev and other authors about some teachers who worked at the Faculty of Mathematics of the Tula State Lev Tolstoy Pedagogical Institute. The main part of the note is the memoirs-reflections of teachers and students of that time period about the formation of an algebraic school in Tula in the last century on the basis of the Tolstoy Tula State Pedagogical Institute and about the role played in this process by the citywide algebraic seminar created by Professor Martin Davidovich Grindlinger. The role of Vladimir Nikolaevich Bezverkhnii is particularly noted. Under their leadership, many Tula students conducted scientific work, who later became candidates and doctors of physical and mathematical sciences. The article presents some of the results obtained by them and their students. This love of science and hard work can serve as an example for modern youth, especially for scientific youth.

Keywords: history of mathematics, a city algebraic seminar, mathematicians of Tula, mathematics of algebraic school of thought of M.D. Grindlinger and V.N. Bezverhnii.
