Mariusz, I quote: Свидетельством международного признания науч¬ных заслуг является его избрание Почетным членом Международного института инжене¬ров по электронике и радиоэлектронике (IEEE), членом Международного научного радиосоюза, членом Поль¬ской, Чехословацкой, Монгольской, Болгарской и Гер¬манской (бывшая ГДР) академий наук

Hall of Fames exist in areas other than sports, for instance, music. E.g. see the National Inventors Hall of Fame (www.invent.org). The only problem is that usually it's people, not their creations, that receive such an honor.

Mariusz Kuklinski Jul 10, 2006:

Poniał. Spasibo.

Vitaly Kisin (asker) Jul 10, 2006:

Marius, I've only passed on a few facts in response to your question, not a translation...

Mariusz Kuklinski Jul 10, 2006:

Leonid Iliich javlialsia pochiotnym chlienom etovo i drugovo as a honorary member :-)

Mariusz Kuklinski Jul 10, 2006:

A, znachit, akadiemik Kotielnikov. Nada bylo srazu eto skazat'.
No pochiotnyj chlen eto nie to samo chto honorary member. Kotielnikov was a very genuine member of those academies and societies. Ja by pochiotnyj pierieviel kak distinguished member

Vitaly Kisin (asker) Jul 10, 2006:

This is about a truly brilliant scientist, V A Kotelnikov, who honestly deserved the praise. The trick is he worked in a country which isolated its scientists, so he made his discoveries in parallel with Shannon and Nyquist. The system insisted on assigning all achievements only to its scientists. Ultimately he joined the club and became honorary member of all distinguished academies and societies.

I love it. Who is it about?
