About the book: 2013 / In 1996, the world celebrated the 100th anniversary of the birth of N. A. Bernstein, the creator of modern biomechanics - the doctrine of human motor activity and animals. Scientific conferences in the USA and Germany were dedicated to this date. The international conference at the University of Pennsylvania (USA) was attended by 200 specialists from the USA, Germany, and Japan. Russian V.P. Zinchenko made a presentation “Traditions of N.A. Bernstein in the study of movement control.” This is how it is described in Igor Huberman’s “Book of Wanderings”: “At both of these conferences there was his student, whom young scientists looked at from afar with respectful amazement, quite distinctly whispering to each other: “He knew him during his lifetime, this is fantastic!” Only Russia, it seems, still cannot realize that a genius was born and lived in it, suppressed and unrecognized during his lifetime, whose ideas have long been accepted in all universities of the world as classical." The writer I. Guberman is known for his penchant for the grotesque and shocking, but in this case there is sincere bitterness in his words. Indeed, in Russia, the homeland of N.A. Bernstein, the scientist’s anniversary was not officially celebrated; only the magazine “Theory and Practice of Physical Culture,” intended for a fairly narrow circle of specialists, devoted one of its issues entirely to him. The amazing personality of this man and his enormous contribution to world science deserve much more attention.
