The President’s telegram reads, in part:
“It is a remarkable and purpose-driven man who has left us, one of the greatest physicists of our times, whose discoveries had a huge impact on the development of science in our country and around the world, and whose professional career and personal life are examples of a citizen’s service to his homeland.
Academician Ginzburg’s scientific and public work and his commitment to the ideals of justice and humanism earned him deserved respect in our country and abroad.”
An academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences and Winner of 2003 Nobel Prize in Physics, Vitaly Ginzburg died on November 8, aged 93.
