This is a great honour for me to present a report on the influence of the outstanding scientist academician V.A. Ambartsumian. I was well familiar with V.A. Ambartsumian, but unfortunately, I did not manage to work with him in scientific research. When, in 1948, I arrived in the Leningrad State University (LSU) V.A. Ambartsumian already had left LSU and worked in Armenia. My teacher in LSU, academician V.V. Sobolev, was the best student of V.A. Ambartsumian. Therefore, to some degree, I can consider myself as a scientific grandson of V.A. Ambartsumian. However, I very frequently met V.A. Ambartsumian at scientific conferences, discussed with him scientific problems and problems of organization of scientific research. Contacts with this outstanding, strong and talented person have rendered large influence on my formation as a scientist.
