The focus of Flint's scientific work was the determination of the crystal structures and lattice parameters of crystals and the corresponding measurement methods. With the results he created a catalog with almost 1000 pyro and piezo crystals . In 1939 the foundations of crystallography by Georgi Borissowitsch Boki , Schubnikow and Flint appeared, which became the handbook of crystallographers. In 1948 Flint received his doctorate in geological-mineralogical sciences .

Flint's son was the zoologist Vladimir Evgenyevich Flint (1924-2004).

Flint's grave is in Moscow's Donskoy Cemetery .
