Abstract
Alexandre Friedmann was one of our best scientists. Were it not for his untimely death of typhoid fever at the age of 37 he would still be with us. Of course, he would have had many further achievements in physics and mathematics, apart from a prominent academic career. At his young age he was already a professor of world fame among specialists in the theory of relativity and meteorology. While in Leningrad in the 1920’s, I often heard such professors as Krutkov, Fredericks and Bursian speak highly of Friedmann as a prominent scientist.
