January 27 marks the 75th anniversary of the leading researcher of the Ocean Optics Laboratory Vladimir Ivanovich Burenkov. The whole creative life of Vladimir Ivanovich is connected with the Institute of Oceanology. Cooperation with the Institute began in the student years in the late 60s and continues for more than half a century.

On January 24, Tatyana Anatolyevna Savilova passed away. Our Tanya is gone - warm, sincere, sympathetic, beloved by everyone in the Laboratory of the bottom fauna of the ocean. Tatyana Anatolyevna came to our Institute in 1974, immediately after graduating from the Department of Hydrobiology, Faculty of Biology, Moscow State University. She entered the Laboratory (at that time the Benthos Laboratory) as a trainee researcher and since then has worked in our team for almost half a century.
