On June 14, 2026, the distinguished theoretical physicist, Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor, and Corresponding Member of the National Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, V. A. Yampol’skii, celebrates his 80th birthday. Valeriy Aleksandrovich Yampol’skii was born in 1946 in Kharkiv, where he completed secondary school ahead of schedule, receiving an excellent education by the standards of that time. In 1962, he enrolled in the Faculty of Physics at V. N. Karazin Kharkiv National University. At that time, lectures at the faculty were delivered by prominent theore tical physicists belonging to L. D. Landau’s Kharkiv school, including I. M. Lifshitz, M. I. Kaganov, E. A. Kaner, and A. M. Kosevich, as well as mathematicians G. Yu. Lyubarsky and Yu. I. Lyubich. His direct academic advisors, whom he considers his teachers, were I. M. Lifshitz’s former graduate students at different times: A. M. Ermolaev, M. I. Kaganov, and E. A. Kaner. Thus, V. A. Yampol’skii can rightfully be regarded as a representative of L. D. Landau’s Kharkiv school of theoretical physics.
