Мой учитель, наставник – Федор Николаевич Мильков

Abstract

The development of landscape science in Russia began already more than a century ago – with the works of V.V. Dokuchayev and L.S. Berg. The powerful integration potential of the natural sciences, accumulated by 1955, led to the emergence of modern landscape science, the theoretical founda¬tions of which were actively w or ked out at 6 All-Union meetings on landscape science (1955-1963). At this time, landscape-geographical schools were formed that exist today (Moscow, Leningrad (St. Petersburg), Voronezh, Irkutsk, etc.). Geographical education and practical research become impossible without mastering the theory and methods of landscape analysis and synthesis, mapping and zoning. This is what made the leadership of Tomsk State University (TSU), at the request of the Department of Geography, make a request to the Ministry of Higher Education for a postgraduate study at the Department of Physical Geography of Moscow State University, a graduate of the faculty, i.e. me, having a year of experience in the position of assistant, for targeted training in the field of landscape science. This direction was obtained, it only remained to appear in the capital and begin to study.
