Summary:The Spirit of Russian Science comprises dozens of short and funny true stories about the relations between people working in science, the ways people of science interacted, and their attitudes towards life. On the one hand, these stories are very Russian. On the other hand, the spirit of science displayed is very international. One cannot help feeling it, and it is something that is very difficult to define. This book shows the way this spirit manifests itself, providing amusing examples. Contents: Seminars; Seminars Which Did Not Take Place; Orders; Winter Schools; Foreigners at the IOFFE Inst.
