О МОЕМ ОТЦЕ – ОКЕАНОЛОГЕ И МОРЕПЛАВАТЕЛЕ ЮРИИ АЛЕКСАНДРОВИЧЕ ИВАНОВЕ

In the article devoted to the memory of the famous oceanologist’s father, his son Michael Ivanov tells the readers about how he remembered his father within their family, among relatives, friends and colleagues from the Institute of Oceanology and other. The son characterizes his father as absorbed by his work that was rather difficult, demanding frequent and long business trips. That was the work of a specialist, who even in his long-term journeys forgot never his loving relatives. The article says that the boundless enthusiasm for the favorite business was one of the main features of the character of this worthy person – whether it was caring for relatives and friends or measuring the properties of sea water in the stormy ocean, and maybe on the occasion fishing or picking mushrooms in the Novgorod forest, near which Ivanovs had their small wooden house in the village. In the memories of his son, his father appears as a man of rational mind, who are able to fearlessly overcome any life problems, considering them nothing as planned difficulties, to get rid of which you only need to find the right algorithm. A big advantage of informal inheritance left by the father of the article author is that Y. A. Ivanov has managed to pass on to his children and grandchildren peculiar to himself an inexhaustible sense of humor, ability to work, love of nature and craving for travel.
