Memories show professor N. Kondrashov as master of a particular linguistic genre of “history in faces.” Under the influence of his work, exciting and truthful documentary stories from the public life of the country came to life at lectures. The author does not hide the delight of N. Kondrashov’s pedagogical talent, who used the techniques of dramatic art in his classes and personal conversations. The notes also describe unknown episodes from the biography of the scientist of the late 1940s, his passion for the language of Esperanto under the ideological umbrella of the state, which almost led to a tragedy. The lyrical and emotional tone of memories draws an extraordinary personality N. Kondrashov in the circle of training sessions of the 1980s.
