Наш дорогой господин научный профессор. К 90-летию со дня рождения В. Н. Богачева (1929–2019)

Victor Nikolayevich Bogachev, a deputy editor-in-chief of ECO journal, borrowed the phrase ‘scientific professor’ in one of the articles sent to the journal for publication from a republic of the Soviet Union. He went on to prefix it with a title ‘Mr’ and used it jokingly for self-introduction. Behind his back, his colleagues referred to him in the same manner, not as a form of slight but with respect and admiration. V.N. Bogachev worked in the journal for 18 months only but it was the crucial period of take-off when a new style of description and analysis of surrounding economic events and processes was born and refined. This May, 2019 he would have been 90 years old.
