http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doctor_of_Science
Former USSR and some of the ex-Socialist Bloc countries

In the former Soviet Union and the various post-Soviet states and in some of the former Socialist Bloc countries, the status of Doktor nauk literally means "Doctor of Sciences", but is a post-doctoral degree and has no American equivalent but does have a Western equivalent in the degree of Doctor of Science in the sense in which the DSc is used in the Commonwealth.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doktor_nauk
Doktor nauk (Russian: доктор наук, literally transtated as "Doctor of Sciences") is a higher doctoral degree, the second and the highest post-graduate academic degree in the Soviet Union, Russia and in many post-Soviet states. The prerequisite is the first degree, Kandidat nauk (Russian: кандидат наук) which is informally regarded equivalent to Ph.D. degree. Both Doktor and Kandidat must meet nation-wide standards enforced by the Russian federal government.

  -> Спасибо, Эрика.
agree  Serge Driamov: Хотя у д.м.н. нет англо-американского эквивалента, есть немецкий: Privatdozent. Система градации научных работников была когда-то заимствована в Германии... Немецко-английские словари переводят Privatdozent как lecturer или professor, что не совсем точно.
36 mins
  -> В моем понимании, Privatdozent ближе к нашему понятию "доцент" (нечто вроде "еще не профессор, но может им стать"), нежели к понятию "доктор медицинских наук". А доцент не обязательно - доктор наук. Многие доценты уходят на пенсию, оставаясь к.м.н.

Explanation:
http://www.answers.com/topic/doctor-of-science-1
Doctor of Science (Latin: Scientiæ Doctor), usually abbreviated D.Sc., Sc.D, S.D. or Dr.Sc., is an academic research degree awarded in a number of countries throughout the world. In some countries (such as the United States, Poland and Brazil) it is equivalent to the Ph.D., while in others (such as the UK, Ireland, the Czech Republic and several Commonwealth countries) it is a 'higher doctorate' awarded in recognition of a substantial and sustained contribution to scientific knowledge.

http://www.nationmaster.com/encyclopedia/Doctor-of-Science
Nonetheless, the Sc.D. has largely been replaced by the Ph.D. degree even in these institutions. For instance, the doctoral degree in biostatistics at Harvard has recently been changed from Sc.D. to Ph.D. - even though the degree structure and requirements have remained identical.
