Fifty years of research at the Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics (on the 100th anniversary of the birth of IM Khalatnikov)

Reviewing all the basic research performed at the Landau Institute for Theoretical Physics, Russian Academy of Sciences that has made a significant contribution to physics is an unrealistic task. Therefore, the discussion is restricted to only those studies that have directly affected the author's explorations for 50 years (1968-2018). IMKhalatnikov created a unique institution that brought together virtually all areas of theoretical physics of importance, thus opening vast opportunities for scientific collaboration. The Landau Institute's multidisciplinary environment was a significant driver of research.
