Yes, I know Leonid. He used to do some work for me when I was still doing
active research in Moscow.
I've read his book and I think its fairly interesting. Both Leonid and
his wife Natalia are very well read (with respect to aging research).
Unlike many Western aging researchers (as recent list discussion has shown)
they actually have taken the time to really read and think about the
concept of aging. They are however primarily theoretical people, not
experimentalists. The only people I might place above them on the
theoretical level would be Steve Austad, Vladimir Anisimov and George
Martin (though Anisimov and Martin are more experimentalists and have
only written a little bit about aging theory).
Though their technical work is fine, their ethical perspective is more
typically Russian than Western. That should not be considered "unusual"
but must be taken into account if you want to work with them.
