Lev Borisovich Pikelner

09.11.1924 – 22.09.2020

Lev Borisovich successfully combined creativity and meticulousness with his ability to unite young colleagues to solve the most challenging, on the verge of feasibility, tasks and achieve results. Demanding and self-critical assessment of acquired results, their quality and novelty earned him well-deserved respect and recognition among the world scientific community.

A loving father and grandfather, a family man, a man with an active attitude to life. Lev Borisovich has always been and will always remain a role model for people who knew and loved him.
