This is the first edition of the directory
"Who Is Who in Tomsk and in the Tomsk Oblast".
This book is really as unique as Tomsk
in its nearly 400-year history, peculiar image
and high intellectual potential.
This reference book is designed
as a group portrait of the people
of Tomsk and personifies information on its residents.
Those are public and political figures, businessmen,
leading managers and specialists of enterprises,
scientists and teachers, people of the artistic world,
journalists, actors, producers, musicians, sportsmen, etc.
The reference book also provides data
on the major businesses and institutions
of the Tomsk Oblast, including their operations
and principle achievements, names
of their managerial staff, addresses
and telephones, trade marks and logos.
Here you can find introductory notes
"The Tomsk Oblast at the Turn of the XXI Century"
and a number of topical sections devoted to industry,
business, science, education, and culture.
Finally there is a jubilee and holiday calender,
an alphabetical index, and a list of names.
Publication of "Who Is Who" has become
possible thanks to participation
and support of a great number of people.
The publishers are very grateful to the sponsors and
all the people who have made their contributions to this book.
"Who Is Who" is thought of as a periodic edition
to be updated once every two years.
We would like to hope that this book will be
useful for you, facilitate all kinds
of communications among people,
broaden your knowledge about Tomsk
and its residents, and become
a handbook for your everyday use
and an excellent entry into your library.
