Vladimir Vladimirovich came to the Kurchatov Institute in 1955 as a graduate of the Physical Department of the Moscow State University and worked in the Center until the last day of his life. From the very beginning his scientific interests were problems of interaction of high-frequency fields with plasma. Among the first, he estimated opportunities and prospects of microwave applications for heating plasma to thermonuclear temperatures and devoted all his life to the decision of this problem. He took active participation in works of Institute of Applied Physics of the Russian Academy of Science on creation of powerful long pulse microwave generators - gyrotrons, provided the basis for practical applications in plasmas. For these works in 1981 he was awarded with a rank of the State Prize laureate. Today gyrotrons are used practically on all tokamaks in the world.

Vladimir Vladimirovich, extreme exacting to himself, was always attentive and benevolent to people. To work with him was very interesting. Blessed memory of Vladimir Vladimirovich will remain with us forever.
