Memorial Address to Prof. Shakin
|
Demise of Prof. Shakin in Russian Academy of Science was June 9, 2005.
Vsevolod Shakin 18.03.1941 - 09.06.2005
After Vlasta introduced Professor Shakin to me in the 1st URMPM World Congressin in Tokyo on March 2003, he and I communicatied by over hundred e-mails concerning the URMPM and the Russian activities. Through communication, we generated and he chaired Russian Society of Risk Management for Preventive Medicine from 2003, with many excellent Russian colleagues, for new era of Russian world. He conducted the Russian Conference every January. Despite of his very short activities in URMPM, his foodnote on URMPM is very big, as we can see in the URMPM homepages.
His dismise is our greatest regret, but his hope and wishes should be followed by the world member of the URMPM.
Ryoji Sakai, URMPM Chair
I was terribly bothered by news about death of Prof. Shakin!
The short time we worked together was enough for me to like this man
very much. It is a real and auful lost!
V.K.Ilyin, Prof. Russian Academy of Science.
President of Russian Society of Risk Management for Preventive Medicine
It is a great tragedy for the University passing away of Prof. Shakin . We usually call him Seva, because he was very open person and there were a lot of students, colleagues, scientists around him. He was a proper scientist, clever man, very interesting person, good teacher, great friend! He was a strong man.
We will begin our international Seminar on the Mercury pollution problem with the one minute's silence in remembrance of Seva. Seva was a manager of this international project and coordinator of the laboratory of Air Quality Control.
Now there is his photo (during the opening ceremony of the lab) and it is still seems that Seva is among us.
We will keep him in our hearts and our memory.
Dr. Stanislav Stepanov, Rector of the IIUEPS and
Dr. Irina Arefieva Head of the Dept. of Environmental Sciences
of the International Independent University of Environmental and political sciences (IIUEPS)
9 of June, 2005 has passed away our colleague and teacher, professor Vsevolod Shakin, well-known mathematician and ecologist.
He was a student of S. Fomin, then a student of I. Pinsker and B. Tsukerman. He graduated from the Moscow Energy Institute and obtained his Ph.D. from the Institute for Information Transmission Problems.
Since 1985 Vsevolod Shakin had been worked at the Dorodnicyn Computing Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences as the head of the Department on Mathematical Modeling in Ecology and Medicine. He led the great number of research projects such as Living Systems under Extreme Conditions Theory, Quality of Life and Sustainable Development of Living Systems Models and Ecological Decision Support Systems.
Students considered professor Vsevolod Shakin as a great mathematics teacher. He delivered his lectures on Mathematical Modeling in Ecology and Medicine at the Mechanics and Mathematics Faculty of the Moscow State University, at the Environmental Physics Chair of the Independent International University of Environmental and Political Sciences and at the Space Research Institute.
Vsevolod Shakin is the author of more than hundred scientific papers. His research interests were computer science in mathematical modeling, biomedical data and signals statistics, mathematical modeling on cardiology, immunology, ecology, essential ecology and epidemiology.
Vsevolod Shakin was one of the founders of the tennis team at the Moscow House of Scientists. He was excellent tennis player and professional rescuer and life-saver. All the time of his life he was very brisk, bright and cheerful person.
Vsevolod Shakin gives himself and his vast knowledge to all of us, who were proud to work with him. His life always was opened to us, his friends, colleagues and pupils. We will remember him as a great master of communication and an author of numerous and very beautiful ideas.

He was a a wanderful scientist and a friend and I miss him.
Vlast Molka, President of Gaia Ltd, Ohaio, USA
I was deeply depressed by the death of Seva, who was an excellent research leader, colleague, open minded intellectual personality and also a friend. We worked very closely together in Budapest for years in the f70-ies, and met later a few times only. That was almost the beginning of his scientific activities (and was certainly that of my one). My deep condolences to his daughter (whom I saw in her age of 10(?) playing the piano).
Pal Breuer, M.E.E.,Ph.D., Budapest, Hungary
I am saddened at the sudden demise of colleague, Dr. Vsevolod Shakin, whom I met at the First International Conference on Risk Management in Preventive Medicine in Tokyo and Kyoto in March 27-28, 2003.
Although the meetings were short, I was impressed by his immense sense of humour and warmth and his readiness to offer a helping hand in so many areas that he was eminently capable. He was very much an authority in the field of mathematical modeling and this command of the science could easily be felt by everyone in the audience in those 2 days. I am particularly sad that he could not make it to our conference in October 1-3, 2005 in Kota Bharu, Kelantan where his expertise will easily captivate delegates and participants in this part of the world. His sudden demise is a big loss to URMPM and other worldwide partners, in particular the Russian chapter of the URMPM where Dr. Shakin is the pioneer. On behalf of the Malaysian Society of RMPM and the Asia Pacific Chapter of URMPM, I humbly pay tribute to the late Dr. Shakin and our heartfelt condolence to his family and friends in these difficult moments.
May his soul rest in peace.
Rusli Nordin, Prof. University of Science of Malaysia
Presidnet of the 2nd Asia pacific Congress
It is hard to believe this and I feel miserable about this. Seva was a wonderful, a great person. He was smart, he was so knowledgeable, and he was always so friendly.
I remember so well all the hours we spent together talking about science and other things, and also driving and waking together through Moscow.
I would like to express my condolences to you and also to the IIUEPS on the passing away of Seva. I will keep him in my memory as one of my best friends I met in Moscow.
Peter Gehr
Professor, University of Bern, Faculty of Medicine, Institute for Anatomy, Switzerland
That is really a very bad news, I had a project idea with him.
Give his wife my regards, SEWA was really a exceptional person.
Remo Galli, dipl. Arch. ETH, Bern, Switzerland
I wish to convey my condolences to the family of the late Dr. Vsevolod Shakin.
My best regards,
Gilbert Lau, University of Singaplore
