October 2011 Vladimir Lobashev, who was well known in the fjeld of nuclear and elementary particle physics, passed away on 3 August, after a long illness. He made important contributions to fundamental studies in parity and CP violation, to neutron and neutrino physics, and to medium-energy physics. The early part of Lobashev’s scientifjc career, at St Petersburg Nuclear Physics Institute of the Russian Academy of Sciences, was dedicated mainly to the weak interaction physics.
