Reference excerpt

Viachelav V. Belyi, also referred to as Slava Belyi (1 August 1945 – 20 May 2020) was a Russian scientist who specialised in physics-thermodynamics, Laureate of a scientist Prize of the Russian Federation (1991, together with Irina Veretennikoff and Yuri Klimontovich), junior, then senior and finally chief scientist at IZMIRAN (1971–2020), collaborator of Nobel prize Laureate Ilya Prigogine in 1980s and 1990s with an external affiliation to the Laboratoire de physique des plasmas at the ULB (Brussels, Belgium).

Biography Born in Termez, Uzbekistan, a town bordering Afghanistan, his father originated from eastern Ukraine, current area of Dnipro and his mother's origins were from Central Russia. At the age of 17 he moved to Moscow to study at the Moscow State University. He married there Ludmila Galakhmatova (b. 1947), a daughter of an industrialist from Urals, Nizhnyi Tagil. After their wedding in 1972, they moved to Troitsk, a scientific town in Moscow's neighborhood. With the marriage, he was a brother-in-law of another Russian scientist Andrey Slavnov who married Ludmila's sister. He had a daughter Anna (b. 1974) and a son Andrei (b. 1975). He died from COVID-19 pandemic on 20 May 2020.

Academic career He graduated from the Faculty of Physics, Moscow State University in 1969. Then he obtained a degree of candidate of science in 1971 and received a title of a doctor of science in 1988. Since 1971 he worked in IZMIRAN and specialised in kinetic theory quantum phenomena in plasma (see publications list below). Since 1982. he maintained professional and personal contacts with Nobel Prize in Chemistry laureate Ilya Prigogine. He received a status of a visiting researcher to Solvay Institute and Centre for Statistical Physics and Plasma at the University Libre de Bruxelles (ULB). In 1991, together with Irina Veretennikoff and Yuri Klimontovich (his scientific supervisor) he was granted the National Scientific Prize of the Russian Federation. In 1992, he accompanied Prigogine to visit Mikhail Gorbachev. In 1991, 1996 and 2001, he visited French foundation for prospective research called Les Treilles Foundation for events and scientific activities. In recent years, he worked on fluctuation-dissipative theorem for the case of an inhomogeneous plasma. In 2018 V. Belyi published an article in Scientific Reports where he did put under question earlier obtained results on Thomson theorem. The scholarly debate engendered further attention to the implications for Thomson scattering spectra for inhomogeneous plasmas.

Worked examples

Example 1 — a first encounter with Viacheslav Belyi

Start with the simplest possible case. Write down what Viacheslav Belyi claims or describes in one sentence, then invent the smallest concrete situation in which that sentence is true. In physics, 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 Viacheslav Belyi 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 Viacheslav Belyi 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 Viacheslav Belyi

In research: Viacheslav Belyi appears in physics 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 Viacheslav Belyi 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: Viacheslav Belyi is common in secondary-school and first-year university syllabi. It links to neighbouring topics 1945 births, 2020 deaths, Deaths from the COVID-19 pandemic in Russia, so understanding it makes those chapters shorter.
In everyday life: Look for Viacheslav Belyi 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.
