Half a Century in Service: Professor Leonid Gerasimovich Marchenko (1941–2019)

Abstract

This text is a dedication to the Professor Leonid Gerasimovich Marchenko, a graduate of the Leningrad Institute of Chemical-Pharmaceutical Sciences. Throughout his career in education, L.G. Marchenko progressed from being an assistant to eventually heading the Department of Pharmaceutical Technology of Medications. Apart from his teaching activities, he was actively involved in administrative work: serving as deputy dean, and from 1983 to 1986, as the dean of the Pharmaceutical Faculty; from 1986 to 2005, he was the Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs, then from 2005 to 2008, the First Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs, and from 2008 to 2009, an advisor to the rector. The essay draws on family archival materials, thanks to the active support of Ekaterina Anatolievna Marchenko, who carefully preserves the memory of her husband, L.G. Marchenko. For almost half a century, Leonid Gerasimovich's life was inseparably linked to the Saint Petersburg State Chemical-Pharmaceutical University. Here he studied from his student years, continued his education in graduate school, and then worked in the university for more than 40 years. Leonid Gerasimovich embodied the principles of academic integrity and responsibility. He always attached great importance to the quality of his work, sought perfection, and inspired his colleagues to achieve high results.
