Posts in Business & Finance - it's always Business & Finance! - in Russian, in the early hours of the morning, tend to be either spam or the precursors to spam. It certainly wasn't a valid B&F question anyway!

If it had been in English it would most likely have been left on.

[1ozzy]

Raise your glass to Ludvig Jack and lament his passing.

Or start a thread in English.

[Hopkirk]

I award a brownie point to whoever removed it.

[waterboatman]

It's in a foreign language, in the wrong place, it's almost certain, rightly, to be removed.

[OldBather]

I translated it (and reported it)It seemed to be a rant/ sort of advert,although Bing Translator doesn't always prove reliable.

[ichkeria]

Sounds like spam to me :-)

worth a read - the obit in wiki
to show that even in the dark days of Soviet liberation
the sciences flourished

written in a platonist mood - he discovered the Fadeev equations rather than wrote them ( Brouwer's view) - in the manner of " hello who are you ?"
" I am a little equation. and I am waiting to be discovered"

Brouwers view is that equations are rows of symbols
f+/- ( x to the powa 4) s.t...... etc etc
that mathematicians give meaning to

Fadeev got th Dirac Medal ( oh god he was an odd one that one ) [ Dirac I mean] which is no mean feat

He also go the order of Lenin 3rd class
and had a supervisor 'Jimbo'. The site is not a spam - Jombo also has his place on wiki
