For the mathematical community, the unexpected loss of Ernest Borisovich Vinberg (July 26, 1937 – May 12, 2020) is completely irreparable. He was a generally recognized authority, expert and active researcher in group theory and Lie algebras. There are very few specialists of this level all over the world, and any serious independent mathematical community cannot exist without a figure of this kind. E.B.

Schifman With great sadness, I write about the sudden death (March 20) Mikhail Voloshin, one of the glorified theorists of the Golden Age of High Energy Physics (FVE), a student of the Landau school.

In 1970, at the age of 17, he participated in the IV International Physical Olympics and received a gold medal.

A real success for zoology can be called a researcher who knows how to draw his object. In history there are few examples of professional animal zoologists, which cannot be said about botanists. It is possible to study stamens and pestles with people with a much more subtle mental organization than hereditary hunters, because for a long time a zoologist who specializes in the study of birds and animals, as a rule, was obliged to be a good shooter.

Leonid Perlov At the seventh week of self -isolation, various interesting thoughts begin to come to the head. I, apparently, is not the only one. In any case, thoughts, one another more interesting, constantly come into the heads of the leaders of various educational structures of the federal level.

Alexander Meshcheryakov The Olympiads in Japan is mystically unlucky-Tokyo was moved due to Pandemia of Coronavirus to July 2021. In the twentieth century, Tokyo submitted applications for the summer Olympiads twice. About why the first (1940) did not take place, we talked in the Trv-hunger No. 303, while the second was successfully carried out in 1964.

Anastasia Kuzina My daughter Maria finished the eighth grade. And this academic year she studied remotely. It was an experiment, we decided both with trepidation. But the experiment was successful, and in the ninth Masha will also study online. How did we get to such a life? To begin with, the whole previous year, seventh grade, was insanely ashamed of Masha.
