Alexander Markovich, 1930-2016 |
Alexander Yakovlevich Markovich considers himself a citizen of the world. He has traveled widely; however, his life has been closely tied with just four countries: Russia, where he was born (Novosibirsk, 1930) and received his primary education (Samara region, 1941-1948); Kazakhstan, where he worked after graduating from institute (Karaganda, 1953-1956); Ukraine, where he spent the greater part of his life (in Odessa); and finally, in the United States (Cleveland, Ohio, since 1997). A telecommunications engineer by profession and a candidate of technical science, he worked at the Ukraine State Telecommunications Academy, serving as a lecturer, and has authored several textbooks. At present, his interests include philosophy, history and ethics, themes on which he has published a series of articles in Russian-language newspapers and magazines in the United States, as well as at several Internet-based philosophy sites.
