Marshak, Boris I.
Нас было двое, которые пришли к Маршаку на первом курсе университета. Он сказал, что будет с нами заниматься, но он не преподаватель в широком смысле. Время показало обратное. Он был Преподавателем с большой буквы не только для своих аспирантов, но и для чужих, которые искренне считают его с тех пор своим учителем. Я специально пишу это по-русски, потому что он истинно русский ученый.
