Death Notices: Two cycles researchers within 2 days!

From CIFA site:

Dear colleagues,
I’m shocked and saddened by the news that Dr.Alexander Konradov is no more with us. He passed away on May 18, 2004. It happened unexpectedly for all of us. He was a wonderful friend, a bright person, an information and coordination center... He had all connections, all links, and all ends in his hands. It is a big loss for CIFA and for all our international and interdisciplinary multilingual international scientific community.

Natalia Udaltsova,
General Secretary of CIFA
