Abstract

Being asked to write a paper about Boris Vladimirovich Gnedenko, we decided to present the material in two parts: Ekaterina Gnedenko writes biographical notes from the angle of his research achievements and Igor Ushakov writes rather personal reminiscence. Gnedenko himself told about his life in the book of his memoirs [1].
