Boris Vitalievich Stradomsky passed away on August 4, 2019

An irreplaceable loss for science.
I express my condolences to my family and friends.
Eternal memory

Eternal memory.

Only 60...
Eternal memory

Why, why do we, entomologists, survive in mountains, deserts, taiga and swamps, in wild heat and wild cold, but we die like this, unexpectedly and in hothouse conditions?! Maybe because we live there and exist the rest of the time?
It is a pity that I did not know Boris Vitalyevich personally, but I always enjoyed reading his highly professional notes and answers here. Alas, there is nothing eternal, not even memory, but we will remember!

Bright memory!
I express my condolences to my family and friends.
A big Scientist left.

Bright memory...

What a pity. I didn't know him personally, but I had great respect for Boris Vitalyevich and his work.
Bright memory.

Eternal memory.

Yes, it's a pity. One of the founders of the website Butterflies of the Caucasus and Southern Russia.
Eternal memory.

Oh, bliiin!

Bright memory to Boris Vitalyevich!

I express my condolences to my colleagues, relatives and friends.
Bright memory!

On August 4, 2019, Boris Vitalievich Stradomsky, a well-known scientist, specialist in molecular biology and pigeons, passed away at the age of 60.

After suffering a stroke in 2018, Boris Vitalievich continued to work actively (to the best of his ability), and managed to publish several articles, including finding the strength to finish our joint work on the satirids of the genus Melanargia of Central Asia.

I express my condolences to my family and friends.

Bright memory!
