Anatolii Illarionovich Shirshov (1921-1981) was an outstanding
Russian mat- maticianwhoseworksessentiallyin?uenced
thetheoriesofassociative,Lie,Jordan and alternative rings. Many
Shirshov's students and students of his students had a successful
research career in mathematics.
AnatoliiShirshovwasbornonthe8thofAugustof1921inthevillageKolyvan
near Novosibirsk. Before the II World War he started to study
mathematics at Tomsk university but then went to the front to ?ght
as a volunteer. In 1946 he continued his study at Voroshilovgrad
(now Lugansk) Pedagogical Institute and at the same time taught
mathematics at a secondary school. In 1950 Shirshov was accepted as
a graduate student at the Moscow State University under the
supervision of A. G. Kurosh. In 1953 he has successfully defended
his Candidate of Science thesis (analog of a Ph. D. ) "Some
problems in the theory of nonassociative rings and algebras" and
joined the Department of Higher Algebra at the Moscow State
University. In 1958 Shirshov was awarded the Doctor of Science
degree for the thesis "On some classes of rings that are nearly
associative". In 1960 Shirshov moved to Novosibirsk (at the
invitations of S. L. Sobolev and A. I. Malcev) to become one of the
founders of the new mathematical institute of the Academy of
Sciences (now Sobolev Institute of Mathematics) and to help the
formation of the new Novosibirsk State University. From 1960 to
1973 he was a deputy director of the Institute and till his last
days he led the research in the theory of algebras at the
Institute.
