The world of science has dimmed with the passing of Evgeny Morozov, a titan in the field of mechanical destruction criteria and a revered professor at the National Research Nuclear University. At the age of 97, Morozov, whose life was a tapestry of academic brilliance and unwavering dedication, succumbed to chronic heart failure in Moscow on February 22.
Morozov's journey began in 1951 when he first stepped into the halls of the university that would become his lifelong academic home. His work, a beacon in the murky waters of mechanical engineering, illuminated the path for countless students and researchers. His contributions were not just confined to the ivory towers of academia but extended to the very fabric of industrial safety, particularly in the realm of marine pipeline integrity.
Morozov's departure is not just the loss of a scientist but the fading of a star that guided many through the complexities of science and life. His legacy, however, will continue to inspire future generations, much like the enduring light of a distant star, visible long after it has ceased to burn.
