Victor Antonovich Sadovnichiy is a Russian mathematician, winner of the 1989 USSR State Prize. Since 1992 he has been the rector of Moscow State University. Sadovnichiy was born in the village Krasnopavlovka in Kharkiv Oblast, now in Ukraine. He graduated from the Department of Mechanics and Mathematics of Moscow State University and defended his doctoral thesis in 1974. In 1975 he became Professor, since 1982 until the present day he is the head of the Mathematical Analysis chair of the department. He held different offices in the administration of the University until he was elected the rector in 1992. In 1996, 2001 and 2005 Sadovnichiy was reelected without any other candidates. On numerous occasions Viktor Sadovnichiy was accused of being one of the organizers of the infamous antisemitic admission policies of the Department of Mechanics and Mathematics during the 1970s and the 1980s.
Sadovnichiy has been a member of the Russian Academy of Sciences since 1994, Doctor Emeritus of many universities throughout the world, as well as the author of some 150 works. In 1989 he was awarded with the USSR State Prize. He is also currently a Vice-President of the Russian Academy of Sciences. In 2008, Sadovnichiy received an honorary doctorate from the University of Belgrade. In his article "On the Possibilities to Forecast the Current Crisis and its Second Wave" (with Askar Akaev and Andrey Korotayev) in the Russian academic journal "Ekonomicheskaya politika" (December 2010. Issue 6. Pages 39-46[1]) he published «a forecast of the second wave of the crisis, which suggests that it may start in July -- August, 2011».
