1875 graduate gymnasium. 1875-1878 studied at Faculty of Physics and Mathematics, Kiev University. 1881 resumed studies at Kiev University.
1878 expelled from Kiev University for taking part in student riots and exiled to Belozersk for three years. 1883 joined Narodnaya volya (People's Will) Party, engaged in revol activities and wrote book Tsar Golod (King Famine). 1885 emigrated to France, where he worked as a biochemist.
1891 travelled to United States of America with chemist Ephron to introduce improved fermentation method in American distilleries. 1894 moved to Geneva and set up his own laboratory, where he conducted over 70 experiments which brought him recognition in sci circles. 1917 awarded Honorary doctorate by Lausanne University.
After 1917 February Revol returned to Russia. 1918 established chemical laboratory under the Supreme Economic Council to provide sci and tech services to the chemical industry. He soon reorganized the laboratory as the Karpov Institute of Physics and Chemistry, which he directed until his death.
1920 established Biochemical Institute, People's Commissariat of Health and was its director fora number of years. From 1937 member, All-Russian Central Executive Committee. 1927 co-initiator and organizer, from 1928 chairman.Mi-Union Association of Sciences and Technical Workers for the Promotion of Socialist Construction.
1928 deputy chairman, Committee for Development of Soviet Chemical Indiana, Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics Council of People's Commissar. From 1932 until death, president, All-Union Mendeleyev Chemical Social. 1935-1946 founder-director, Institute of Biochemistry, Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics Academy of Sciences, which now bears his name.
1937 deputy, Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics Supreme Soviet of 1st convocation. 1939-1945 acad secretary. Chemical Department, Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics Academy of Sciences.
Member, Moscow City Soviet. Editor, journals Sovetskaya nauka, Bipkhimiya, chemistry series of IzvestiyaAkademii nauk USSR and other sci publication 1893 developed theory of carbon assimilation by chlorophyl plants.
1897 theory of the reduction of nitrates in plants. 1912 theory of auto-oxidation of organic compounds of living cells and catalytic role of this process. After 1917 October Revol did major research on reduction fermentation processes which led to rationalization of numerous processes in tobacco, tea, winemaking, baking and other industry using organic raw materials.
Devised methods of studying enzymes which are now used in clinical, hygiene and agric laboratories. After his death Bakh Prizes and scholarships were instituted for outstanding work in biochemistry and physiochemistry. Wrote numerous works on biochemistry, notably on carbon assimilation by chlorophyl plants, nitrogen extraction, oxidation processes, respiration, fermentation processes, et cetera
There is no solid or tangible evidence for God nor a logical argument for God. The existence of God is taken on faith and not by evidence.
Marxism–Leninism as the only truth could not, by its very nature, become outdated.
Member, Union of the Soviet Socialist Republics Academy of Sciences from 1929.
