Konyagin participated in the International Mathematical Olympiad for the Soviet Union, winning two consecutive gold medals with perfect scores in 1972 and 1973. At the age of 15, he became one of the youngest people to achieve a perfect score at the IMO.

In 1990 Konyagin was awarded the Salem Prize.

In 2012 he became a fellow of the American Mathematical Society.[2]

gollark: I mean, mine does simultaneous equations, perhaps you have the mildly worse model.
gollark: You have a calculator, no?
gollark: I found out ages ago that you can rewrite them as simultaneous equations and then just solve them by calculator. Alternatively, you can write the quantity of each element in each term to help with the "directed guessing" method as ghost said.
gollark: I see.
gollark: What if I mock you for not sleeping, so that you'll be forced to sleep via your dislike of me?
