An essay about Leonid Ivanovych Taranenko (1940–2021), a well-known researcher, zoologist of a broad profile, who went through a very complex personal and professional life. The key points in his professional growth were the University of Rostov (study, dissertation) and the University of Donetsk (work as an associate professor of the Department of Zoology). Leonid Ivanovych became a key organiser of a number of research projects, including the ‘Birds of the Siversky Donets’ network and studies of rare vertebrates of Donetsk Oblast, including mammals. The researcher authored about 200 scientific publications, among which there is also a share of mammalogical publications. Leonid Taranenko left behind many talented students. |
