Abstract
“All calendars tell lies.” I do not know to what extent this assertion by Griboedov can be applied to modern calendars and reference books. But in respect of obituaries and reminiscences it remains topical. I am therefore glad to state that the obituary of I. M. Frank published in the press (see, for instance, Pravda, June 25, 1990) and signed by many people, beginning with M. S. Gorbachev, is of rare truthfulness. Ilya Mikhailovich was called a remarkable physicist and his merits were correctly reflected. I hope that the same will be said about the collection of reminiscences for which I am writing.
