Vladimir Ivanovich Katz (1937–2023)

Abstract

Just five years ago, in 2017, we dedicated the XVIII issue of the scientific collection "The Ancient World and Archaeology" to the 80th anniversary of our colleague and teacher, classical scholar and patriarch of ancient archaeology Vladimir Ivanovich Katz. And now we have to write about the fact that he is not with us. It is bitter and insulting, so much still needed to be done, coordinated with him, consulted, especially since he was distinguished by an excellent memory, efficiency and a reasonable attitude to life until the very end.
