Honors
Timofeev-Resovskij was not allowed to personally accept the honors bestowed upon him after 1945. From 1945 he was a prisoner and from 1955 he was a non-rehabilitated ex-prisoner and was therefore not allowed to leave the Soviet Union. The following honors were awarded to him:
- Darwin Medal, Deutsche Akademie der Leopoldina (German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina) – 1959
- Mendel Medal, Czechoslovakian Academy of Sciences – 1965
- Kimber Genetics Award, U.S. National Academy of Sciences – 1966
- Gregor Mendel Medal, Deutsche Akademie der Leopoldina (German Academy of Sciences Leopoldina) – 1970
- Lazzaro Spallanzani Medal, Italy
