Vitaly Ginzburg, Russian physicist
Vitaly Lazarevich Ginzburg (1916-2009), Russian physicist and Nobel laureate. Since gaining his doctorate in physics in 1940, Ginzberg worked at the Lebedev Physical Institute in Moscow. He worked on superconductivity, the physics of the ionosphere, and on theories concerning cosmic radiation. He also played a role in the development of the Soviet hydrogen bomb. He was a member of USSR Academy of Sciences, succeeding Igor Tamm as head of the Academys physics branch. For his work on superconductivity, he received a share of the 2003 Nobel Prize for Physics.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the esteemed Russian physicist, Vitaly Ginzburg, in all his intellectual glory. Born in 1916 and passing away in 2009, Ginzburg made significant contributions to the fields of physics and scientific research throughout his illustrious career. Having obtained his doctorate in physics in 1940, Ginzburg dedicated himself to groundbreaking work at the Lebedev Physical Institute in Moscow. His areas of expertise included superconductivity, ionospheric physics, theories on cosmic radiation, and even playing a role in the development of the Soviet hydrogen bomb. As a member of the USSR Academy of Sciences and head of its physics branch following Igor Tamm's tenure, Ginzburg left an indelible mark on academia and scientific progress. In recognition of his pioneering work on superconductivity specifically, he was awarded a share of the prestigious Nobel Prize for Physics in 2003. In this photograph taken during 2004 in Moscow, Russia – where he spent much of his professional life – we see an elderly yet distinguished Ginzburg imparting knowledge within a classroom or lecture hall setting. The image exudes wisdom and experience as it portrays one man's lifelong dedication to unraveling the mysteries that govern our physical world. This remarkable portrait serves as a testament to Ginzburg's invaluable contributions to science while also honoring his status as a Nobel laureate who forever shaped our understanding of fundamental principles within physics.
