Under the supervision of A.G. Bukrinskaya, based on the methods of molecular biology, priority studies of regularities of influenza virus and paramyxovirus reproduction were carried out, infectious activity of viral nucleocapsid was demonstrated for the first time, participation of cell v in the reception of influenza virus and their role in intracellular transportation of virus structures were revealed, and original diagnostic methods and viral infection prevention means were proposed.

Under the supervision of A.G. Bukrinskaya, priority studies for characterizing the mechanisms of early and later stages of human immunodeficiency virus reproduction were carried out, promising genetic engineering work related to the use of virus vectors for cloning the genes of protein coat of HIV virions was completed.

Studies of A.G. Bukrinskaya are well known in our country and abroad. She published more than 400 research papers in national and foreign journals. She is an author of six monographs, including the Guide in General and Special Virology in two volumes, Virology manual for students of medical higher educational establishments, two officially registered discoveries and six inventions.

Alisa Grigorievna Bukrinskaya paid much attention to formation of a school of scientific brainpower in virology: she trained 28 candidates and doctors of sciences. Commitment to favorite occupation, human attitude, easy, open and hard-working nature characterized her and her life motto.

Many fellows of the D.I. Ivanovsky Research Institute of Virology lost a reliable associate, remarkable scientists, as well as a wise teacher, reputed advisor and friend. The name of Alisa Grigorievna Bukrinskaya will rightfully leave a mark the history of virology, and she will forever remain in the hearts of all who knew her.

Nikolay Veniaminovich was born in 1933 in Leningrad in the family of a famous writer. While still a student, he became interested in virology and came to work at the D.I. Ivanovsky Institute of Virology of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences.He entered the postgraduate course in 1957 after graduating from the medical faculty of the 1st Moscow Medical Institute named after I.M. Sechenov. In 1960, N.V. Kaverin defended his candidate's thesis, and in 1967 – his doctoral dissertation on the topic "The initial stages of viral infection and some problems in the regulation of protein biosynthesis." In 1970 he became the Head of the Laboratory of Subviral Structures, and since 1988 he was the Head of the Laboratory of Viral Physiology. In 1992-1993 within the framework of international scientific cooperation, N.V. Kaverin worked in the Virology Department of St. Jude Clinic (Memphis, Tennessee, USA), in 1993-1994 he was in Germany, at the Institute of Virology, University of Marburg. The main areas of N.V. Kaverin's research during this period was the analysis of factors providing highly effective multicycle reproduction of the influenza virus in cell cultures.

In 1981 Nikolai Veniaminovich was awarded the title of Professor, and in 1988 he was elected a Corresponding Member of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences (later - RAMS). N.V. Kaverin is an Alexander von Humboldt Foundation prize winner (1992). In 2005 he was elected a Full Member of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences.

Nikolai Veniaminovich is the author of 245 scientific papers published in leading Russian and foreign scientific periodicals, co-author of a number of domestic and foreign monographs and manuals, author of a number of patents for inventions. He trained 19 candidates and two doctors of sciences.

N.V. Kaverin was active both socially and scientifically. He was a member of the Russian Foundation for Basic Research Expert Council, a member of the Scientific and Dissertation Board of the D.I. Ivanovsky Institute of Virology of the Ministry of Health of the Russian Federation, a scientific editor of the “Problems of Virology” journal, a member of the Editorial Board of the “Molecular Genetics, Microbiology and Virology” journal, a member of the “Orthomyxoviruses” group of the International Committee on Virus Taxonomy.

N.V. Kaverin was not only a great scientist, but also a versatile, widely educated and highly intellectual person with encyclopedic knowledge in the field of literature, art and world history. In addition to his direct scientific activity, Nikolai Veniaminovich was an active popularizer of science. His reports, lectures and articles in popular and scientific periodicals, interviews for television and in print in an accessible form revealed the issues and problems of modern virology, the fight against influenza epidemics, the essence of the necessary preventive measures.

The death of Nikolai Veniaminovich is a big, irreparable loss for everyone who worked and collaborated with him. The bright memory of Nikolai Veniaminovich Kaverin shall forever remain in the hearts of his friends, colleagues and students.

Scientific research of S.M. Klimenko was devoted to ultrastructural studies of viruses pathogenic for humans and the analysis of their reproduction in infected cells and tissues. His studies on the problems of the structural organization of virions of a number of arboviruses, influenza and parainfluenza viruses, human immunodeficiency viruses, as well as bacteriophages and nucleic acids laid the foundation for a new direction, which can be called the molecular-structural characteristic of virions. The results of these studies have been published in two monographs and numerous articles. At the same time, S.M. Klimenko carefully studied the morphogenesis of these viruses, i.e. the processes of entry, the stages of development of virions in the cell up to the exit of virions from the collapsing cells into the surrounding space. Sergey Minovich is the creator of the laboratory of the structure and morphogenesis of viruses and the founder of the scientific school, which has been active in the Russian Federation for over 50 years, and some of its representatives have also worked abroad. 11 candidate and three doctoral dissertations were defended under his scientific supervision. S.M. Klimenko worked for many years in laboratories in the USA, France, Switzerland and actively contacted leading foreign experts - Nobel Prize laureates W. Stanley, D. Gaidushek, J. Pallade, Professor V. Bernard.

S.M. Klimenko’s scientific activity began at the 2nd Medical Institute (Faculty of General Medicine), where he entered in 1947. At the Department of Pathological Physiology, he studied the effect of prolonged use of penicillin on the secretion of gastric juice. Data on the increase in gastric acidity were reported at the 2nd All-Union Conference of Student Societies (Moscow, 1952). Having defended his Ph.D. thesis under the supervision of Academician V.D. Timakov, Sergei Minovich went to work at the D.I. Ivanovsky Institute of Virology. And so began the 58-year scientific activity of this researcher within the walls of this institute. In 1959, he headed the work on electron microscopy, moving to the laboratory of viral morphogenesis. In 1970 he defended his doctoral dissertation, and from 1987 to 2010 he headed the Department of Molecular Virology and held the position of Deputy Director of the Institute for Research. In 1992, the scientific activity of S.M. Klimenko was awarded the RAMS prize named after D.I. Ivanovsky. In 1999, as part of a team of authors headed by Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences D.K.Lvov, S.M. Klimenko was awarded the State Prize of the Russian Federation for his work on the study of arboviruses.

Sergey Minovich was a member of the Editorial Boards of the "Problems of Virology" and "Bulletin of Experimental Biology and Medicine" journals and for a long time was a member of the Expert Council of the Higher Attestation Commission on Epidemiology, Microbiology and Virology.

Sergei Minovich Klimenko was a benevolent, attentive and responsive person who enjoyed the well-deserved recognition in the scientific world and sincere love of the Institute's staff.

The bright memory of this wonderful man shall forever remain in the hearts of those who knew him and worked with him.

Nina Vasilievna worked at the D.I. Ivanovsky Institute of Virology since 1966 and rose from a researcher to the Head of the Laboratory of arboviruses genetics. In 1966, she defended a candidate’s dissertation, and in 1985 — a doctoral dissertation.
