Abstract: The paper is devoted to the history of Computational Group Theory in St. Petersburg. Some features of the scientific area are pointed out. We mention here some results of A. I. Skopin concerned with computations in Burnside groups of small prime-power exponents as well as A. V. Rukolaune's work on computation of ordinary characters of some finite simple groups. The note is dedicated to the 70th anniversary of A. I. Skopin's birthday.
