In 1894 it was baptized and has acted in the Moscow university. Already the student has become it is known experiences on cultivation of fishes. Degree activity on an embryology of a pike was Berg 6-th printed activity. After the terminal of university (1898, a golden medal) worked in a Ministry of Agriculture the inspector of fisher on Aral sea and Volga, probeed steppe lakes, the rivers, deserts. In 1902-1903 Berg studies hydrology in Bergen (Norway), in 1904-13 works in the Zoological museum Petersburg AN, in 1913 moves to Moscow where receives a place of the professor in Moskovsk an agricultural institute. In 1916 Berg has been engaged on stand of physical geography of the Petersburg university where worked up to the extremity of life. Berg first large scientific activities - " Pisces of Turkestan " (1905) and magisterskaja a thesis "Aral sea" (1908) for which Berg has received at once a degree of the doctor of geography. In 1909-16 Berg has emited 5 monographies on fishes of Russia, but the geography becomes a main subject of his scientific interests. He has developed the theory of an origin of a loess, has offered the first grading native zones of the Asian part of Russia. To this time there was a scientific style and methods of activity of Berg amazing with unusual efficiency (he posesses from above 800 activities). It distinguished an iron self-discipline, flail memory, skill to work without draft copies and in any conditions, clearness and fineness of an exposition (the text started with definition of concepts) and breedings, a perfect literary language. Berg stood away from policy, but is acute experienced horrors of war and revolution, treating them as a brief celebration of a principle of extirpation above principle of cooperation. Not having in this season of conditions for field activity, Berg has expanded pedagogical activity (in 1916-18 - in Moscow and Petrograd in bridge) and has written (" preheating solidifying ink on fire koptilki ") 3 transactionses under the theory of evolution (1922). In them the analysis of the main concepts is given (evolution, advance, expediency, a contingency, occurrence new, singleness of the theory, a directivity), is disallowed the role of a struggle for life as factor of evolution (both in a nature, and in a society), is sharply limited a role of a natural selection (he only guards the norm) and the original theory of evolution - a nomogenesis, i.e. evolution is pushed on the basis of regularities. The theory had a number of weak places, which colleagues (A.A.Ljubishchev, D.N.Sobolev, J.A.Filipchenko) at once have marked, but basically the criticism has accepted ideological character, especially after an output of the English issuing of "Nomogenesis" (1926.) N.I.Vavilov shadowing Berg from persecution, wrote to him (1927): " We from a post shall not release you. The ship should be conducted, what monsters rose on ways ". Berg about mechanisms of evolution is more did not write. In 1928 he has been selected corresponding member AN the USSR (in 1946 - the academician) as the geographer. In geography Berg is known as the creator domestic ozerovedenija and theories of a landscape (" the geography is science about landscapes ").

Berg negated drift of mainlands; after V.I.Vernadskim he removed originating life to the beginning of a geologic history. In a zoogeography Berg has offered the treatments of distribution of fishes and other water animal, napr., has shown an aboriginal origin of a fauna of Baikal, and the structure of the Caspian fauna, to the contrary, explained postglacial migration across Volga. In an ichthyology Berg main transactionses: " System ryboobraznyh and fishes, extant and minerals " (1940) and a classical three-volume edition " Pisces of fresh waters of the USSR and adjacent countries " (1949, the State premium 1951), keeping the scientific value and until now, and also numerous activities on cultivation and a craft of fishes. Berg interest to a history and the ethnography, engendered in a youth (" Uraltsy on the Cheese - Darje ", 1900), was not lost in the course of time.
