About the book: 2013 / Book by the famous scientist and poet V.N. Ivanov’s “My Fifteenth Anniversary” is a book-album in its architectonics. In the first part, the author talks about the main points of his diverse activities over the past 15 years (1997–2012). The starting point was the date of his election as a corresponding member of the RAS. The narrative about the most striking and significant events in his scientific and literary life was made in the form of a report at a meeting with colleagues and friends at the Marina Tsvetaeva House-Museum. The author's report is supplemented by his colleagues. Of unconditional interest are their judgments and assessments of what V.N. Ivanov over these years of work. The second part of the book, called “Stopped Moments,” is a kind of illustration to the first. These are photographs from different years, depicting the author and his colleagues - participants in the events described. Photos can also tell a lot. In general, both the text and photographs together give a fairly complete picture of the “fifteen years” (1997-2012) in the life of the author and his associates. The book is addressed to a wide range of readers.
