The 100th birth anniversary of N. N. Baranskij
The autor recalls one of the greatest Soviet geographers, the classic in Marxian economic geography whose work has lost nothing of its reality. It covers the theory of general geography, especialy economic geography, economic-geographic cartography, methods of teaching geography and the history of geography. In Baranskij's opinion geography was a joint system of sciences, a unity of the economic and social process in the development of regions, towns and other complexes. The author describes the most important moments from the life of Baranskij including personal recollections of their meeting. He also comments his works and evaluates (in 10 points) his scientific contribution.
