Reference excerpt

Nartsiss Isaevich Litvinov (Нарцисс Исаевич Литвинов; 6 July 1927 – 7 February 2018) was a Soviet and Russian theriologist, known for his contributions to the systematics of the rodent genus Alticola.

Biography Litvinov was born on 6 July 1927 in Irkutsk. In 1942, he completed the seven-year Fourth Secondary School in Irkutsk. He entered and graduated in 1945 from the Irkutsk Agricultural Technical School. From 1945 to 1946, he worked as a livestock technician at the Ust-Orda District Department of Agriculture. In 1946, he entered the Faculty of Biology and Soil Science at Irkutsk State University, from which he graduated in 1951. From 1950 to 1951, he worked as a research assistant at the zoological department of the Irkutsk Anti-Plague Research Institute. After graduation, in 1951, he worked as a zoologist at the Vladivostok Anti-Plague Port Laboratory, and from 1952 to 1954, at the Kyakhta Anti-Plague Station. On 1 September 1954, Litvinov was appointed as an assistant in the Department of Game Management at the Irkutsk Agricultural Institute, where he later became an associate professor. In December 1962, he was appointed (and later elected) Head of the Department of Zoology, a position he held until 1980. In June 1963, he defended his dissertation for the degree of Candidate of Biological Sciences on the topic "Terrestrial Vertebrates of Olkhon Island." On 8 January 1964, the defense was approved by the Higher Attestation Commission (VAK). On 16 September 1964, he was confirmed as Associate Professor in the Department of Zoology. He was awarded the academic title of Professor in 1995. Litvinov retired on 30 June 2010.

Personal life He was married to Valeria Mikhailovna, who was a senior lecturer at the Department of Botany, Irkutsk State University. They had two sons Yuri (born 1953) and Mikhail. Yuri was Doctor of Biological Sciences, Head of the Laboratory at the Institute of Systematics and Ecology, Siberian Branch of the Russian Academy of Sciences (Novosibirsk). Mikhail was Candidate of Biological Sciences, Deputy Director for Research of the Ussuri Nature Reserve.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Nartsiss Isaevich Litvinov

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Nartsiss Isaevich Litvinov claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In astronomy, the smallest case is usually a single object, a single equation or a single measurement. Check that every symbol or term in your sentence has a meaning in that case.

Example 2 — changing one variable

Take the situation from Example 1 and change exactly one quantity: double it, halve it, or set it to zero. Predict what should happen to Nartsiss Isaevich Litvinov before you calculate. Comparing your prediction with the result is the fastest way to find out whether you understand the idea or only the words.

Example 3 — an exam-style question

Typical questions about Nartsiss Isaevich Litvinov ask you to (a) state it precisely, (b) apply it to given data, and (c) explain a limitation. Practise writing all three answers in under five minutes; the third part is what separates a full-mark answer from an average one.

Applications of Nartsiss Isaevich Litvinov

In research: Nartsiss Isaevich Litvinov appears in astronomy research whenever the underlying quantities have to be modelled precisely. Papers usually cite it as a starting assumption and then explore where it breaks down.
In technology and industry: Engineering practice reuses Nartsiss Isaevich Litvinov in design rules, simulations and safety margins. Knowing the idea lets you read a specification sheet and understand why the numbers look the way they do.
In the classroom: Nartsiss Isaevich Litvinov is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1927 births, 2018 deaths, 20th-century Russian zoologists, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Nartsiss Isaevich Litvinov outside the textbook — in sport, cooking, traffic, electronics or the sky above you. An example you found yourself is remembered far longer than one you were given.
