Our warmest congratulations on your 90th birthday!
Every generation has its heroes — people inspiring others to serve Science by their own example!
For us, you are a person embodying the whole era, who has opened the amazing horizons of the Old Russian poetics before us, and who has taught us to be attentive both to the written and to the unexpressed.
On this special occasion, let us wish you good health, energy and joy, as well as new academic and creative achievements!
We thank you for your outstanding professionalism, invariably positive attitude, and for your ability to create an atmosphere of incessant creative search, of desire for discoveries and achievements!
We are immensely glad that you exist and that you are with us! Thank you!
