Ein gutes und sauberes Exemplar. - Text russisch und englisch. - The pictures taken by Sergei Nivikov form a gallery of our scientists. There is a wide circle of my acquintances. There are very many those I heard about and never saw. We know by sight politicians of any colours and usually insipid whose faces on TV make us sick to death. Showmen, pop-stars, "talking heads" and many other's faces are familiar though they should not be familiar at all. The stars appear and go out without any trace in our mind and soul. On the other hand we know nothing about our outstanding contemporaries: science creators - physicists, biologists, mathematicians, historians, - who are familiar to the world. The artist makes us peer at their faces. These are not only photos but also portraites. One can see the power, refinement, simplicity and wisdom. I've been studing their features with pleasure, since it's the true pick of our society. (Daniil Granin). ISBN 5897350116
