About the book

 From the Author
Academician Victor Ambartsumyan, an outstanding astrophysicist, President of the Academy of Sciences of Armenia, director of the Byurakan Astrophysical Observa­ tory, has twice been awarded the title of Hero of Socialist Labour, and is winner of the USSR State Prizes.
Ambartsumyan was elected President of the International Astronomical Union, and also President of the International Council of Scientific Unions. In recognition of his services to world astronomy, thirty foreign academies, scientific societies and universities have elected him as an honorary member.
In the course of the many years of work on this book, I consulted a wide range of documentary material, studied the archives of the Academies of Sciences of Armenia and the USSR, and also those o f Leningrad University, the Pulkovo Observatory and the material collected by Amazasp Ambartsumyan, the father of Victor Ambartsumyan, as well as material from my own archives which I have been col­ lecting for more than fifty years.
I met and talked with many people who know Victor Ambartsumyan: friends from his childhood and student years, his pupils and colleagues. They were all more than willing to help me, sharing their ideas and impressions. While not mentioning them by name, the author would like to express his gratitude to them all.

Many thanks to @hawakajhonka for making the books available.
