Abstract
February 27, 2007, was the 75th birthday of the eminent mathematician, Professor Vladimir Mikhailovich Zolotarev. In 1949, Vladimir entered the faculty of mechanics and mathematics of Moscow State University. As his specialization field he chose probability theory and began his studies under the supervision of Eugene Borisovich Dynkin. After graduating from the university he was recommended to graduate studies, where his advisor was Andrei Nikolaevich Kolmogorov. Other distinguished mathematicians also have had a potent effect on Zolotarev's mathematical talent. Later, he mentions more than once not only his teachers E. B. Dynkin and A. N. Kolmogorov, but also B. V. Gnedenko and Yu. V. Linnik. In his graduate studies, Vladimir begins to study the properties of stable distributions. He continues to be interested in this theme even today. At first he was dealing with the stable distributions in the scheme of summation of independent identically distributed random variables. Later, he extended the concept of...
