From the history of physics

Reviewing all the basic research performed at the Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences, that have made a significant contribution to physics is an unrealistic task. I, therefore, only focus on those studies that have directly affected the author's explorations during 50 years (1968—2018). I.M. Khalatnikov created a unique institution that brought together virtually all areas of theoretical physics of importance thus opening vast opportunities for scientific collaboration. The Landau Institute's multidisciplinary environment was a significant driver of research.
