For me, Anatolii Volodymyrovych was a teacher before everything else. When I was a graduate student and joined the department of the theory of random processes, Skorokhod’s system of training researches had already existed there. Here, I would like to say a few words about his attitude to the education of young researchers. Apparently, the main of his aims was to establish a responsible approach to their work. Skorokhod always watched my notes and notes of other graduate students to the first significant error. Incorrect mathematical statements were not even discussed. This forces us, quite young people, to try to represent him a small, but a new mathematical result, clearly written. In the same way Skorokhod treated the performances at the seminar. He often interrupted the speaker saying that he told the obvious things and then showed it. This behavior seemed first to be impolite. But then I realized that in this way, firstly, speaker was given a very clear understanding of the importance of speaker's own results, and secondly, time was saved for everyone who was present. Thus Skorokhod managed to create in us, his students and colleagues, the feeling of some absolute level of mathematical research, a kind of "Hamburg score", which each of us had to seek and satisfy. Of course, this was possible only thanks to the greatest talent of Skorokhod as a mathematician and teacher.

His ideas and teachings will remain forever in our memory.
