Grigori Kuzmin and Stellar Dynamics
  Grigori Kuzmin was a very gifted dynamicist and one of the towering figures
in the distinguished history of the Tartu Observatory. He obtained a number of
important results in relative isolation which were later rediscovered in the
West. This work laid the foundation for further advances in the theory of
stellar systems in dynamical equilibrium, thereby substantially increasing our
understanding of galaxy dynamics.
