Viktor Markovich Zhivov

[Eric NAIMAN]

Dear Friends --
  Our colleague, mentor and friend, Professor Viktor Markovich Zhivov died
this morning at Alta Bates Hospital in Berkeley.  There will be a panikhida
(prayers for the departed) this afternoon at 5:30 at St. John the Baptist
church (1900 Essex St. (http://oca.org/parishes/oca-we-bersjb).The burial
service will be at the same location Friday morning at 11


   Viktor was a remarkable man, warm, caring, learned, highly distinguished
within the academy in Russia, Europe and the US, deeply knowledgeable about
his area of specialization and profoundly curious about all that was
outside of it.  We loved him for his intelligence, humor and empathy.  He
will be missed terribly, both at Berkeley and in the larger intellectual
community of Slavic Studies.

more details will follow, for now please join me in extending our love to
his family, who will be gathering in Berkeley during the next days.

with best wishes to all,

Eric
