In Memoriam of Professor Victor Konstantinovich KOSSENOK

 
We have no words to express how great loss it has been. Prof. KOSSENOK went away without a farewell. He was a great man who influenced countless lives. He was the rock that kept many people around strong.
 
He was a pioneer in cooperation with the Strasbourg University in 2002 thanks to his enthusiasm and friendship with Prof. Gilbert MASSARD.
 
At the dawn, it was mutual activities between two splendid professors, followed by joint projects and fruitful partnership. Moreover, as a result of their active role and valuable contribution the first bilateral Agreement on Cooperation between OSMU and the Faculty of Medicine, University of Strasbourg, was signed in 2003 for five years, extending each five years, and is valid until now.
 
Due to the long-term friendship, a successful partnership of Omsk and Strasbourg scientists and specialists in the field of thoracic surgery has grown. Owing to the desire of the French colleagues to expand their presence in Russia and the openness of Omsk medics to implement the state-of-the-art European methods and techniques into everyday medical practice the Omsk Medical University became one of the partners of TEMPUS Project JEP-26029 - 2005 Modernization of Training Courses for Oncology Service in Omsk Region.
 
The availability of the latest knowledge in oncology has been the fundamental moment and the most important academic goal of the international cooperation. In addition, due to the close interaction with practical healthcare, the dissemination and rational use of the received information among the target audience has been ensured.
 
Prof. KOSSENOK was a constant supporter for his colleagues; we know better than anyone how much love he had for those he knew. 
 
Dear Professor, your absence makes our hearts ache and we miss you terribly!!!
 
We all remember your smiling face and happiness, your enthusiasm and unbridled joy, your everlasting zest of life. Rest in peace!!!
