Yuri Kondratiev is remembered in mathematics for work the next generation could build on.
The record lists Yuri Kondratiev as Ukrainian mathematician.
Yuri Kondratiev was born at Kyiv in 1953. His recorded nationality is Russia. He studied at Faculty of Mechanics and Mathematics, Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv and Taras Shevchenko National University of Kyiv.
Twentieth-century mathematics became abstract and highly specialised, and its methods reached into physics, economics and computing.
His academic posts were held at Bielefeld University.
The recorded fields of work are mathematics.
Mathematics accumulates without discarding: a proof from two thousand years ago is still a proof.
The honours record reads: State Prize of Ukraine in Science and Technology.
That the work was done from Russia matters: mathematical training, institutions and the language of publication have never been evenly distributed.
Yuri Kondratiev died in 2023, aged 70. The proofs remain, and a proof does not decay - which is the particular permanence mathematics offers.
