In memory of Leonid Keldysh, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences

Abstract

Academician L. V. Keldysh left an indelible impression in the consciousness of many generations of physicists, who learnt from him and tried to align to him. His presentations at scientific conferences and seminars were fascinating for both experienced researchers and students since he possessed the art of describing the most complicated phenomena in a simple but realistic fashion. We are proud that academician L.V. Keldysh was honorable member of the Academy of Sciences of Moldova. There is no doubt that we were privileged by fate to meet in our scientific ways a most outstanding, noble and generous personality.
