of London in 1988. Elected member of the American Philosophical Society in 1990. Lobachevsky Prize of the Russian Academy of Sciences (1992) Harvey Prize (1994), "for basic contribution to the stability theory of dynamical systems, his pioneering work on singularity theory and seminal contributions to analysis and geometry." Dannie Heineman Prize for Mathematical Physics (2001), "for his fundamental contributions to our understanding of dynamics and of singularities of maps with profound consequences for mechanics, astrophysics, statistical mechanics, hydrodynamics and optics." Wolf Prize in Mathematics (2001), "for his deep and influential work in a multitude of areas of mathematics, including dynamical systems, differential equations, and singularity theory." State Prize of the Russian Federation (2007), "for outstanding success in mathematics." Shaw Prize in mathematical sciences (2008, with Ludwig Faddeev), "for their contributions to mathematical physics." The minor planet 10031 Vladarnolda was named after him in 1981 by Lyudmila Georgievna Karachkina. The Arnold Mathematical Journal, published for the first time in 2015, is named after him. The Arnold Fellowships, of the London Institute are named after him. He was a plenary speaker at both the 1974 and 1983 International Congress of Mathematicians in Vancouver and Warsaw, respectively. Fields Medal omission Even though Arnold was nominated for the 1974 Fields Medal, which was then viewed as the highest honour a mathematician could receive, interference from the Soviet government led to it being withdrawn. Arnold's public opposition to the persecution of dissidents had led him into direct conflict with influential Soviet officials, and he suffered persecution himself, including not being allowed to leave the Soviet Union during most of the 1970s and 1980s.
