Professor Pavel A. Zhilin is my Teacher who has inspired me interest to science and has appreciably affected on my scientific, and not only scientific, outlook. I am obliged to Prof. Zhilin by much. Only I can estimate importance of his influence on me. I am grateful to life for the chance to have known such a wonderful person and an outstanding scientist, who become for me an embodiment of spirituality.
