Lobachevsky Medal (Lobachevsky International Prize) is a medal awarded by Kazan State University in honor of Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky, who was a professor there. The medal was established in 1896 and first awarded in 1897. It became a prize of the Russian Academy of Sciences in 1951, and was reinstated at Kazan State University in 1991 (to be awarded every five years).
