On the biography of P.G. Kuznetsov

To date, several attempts have been made to consistently present the biography of P.G. Kuznetsov and the evolution of his ideas. The purpose of this work is to provide a consistent, comprehensive, but capacious idea of the life and scientific work of Kuznetsov in the format of an encyclopedic article, based on disparate data from existing sources. The authors express confidence that this material can become a digest for all those wishing to briefly familiarize themselves with the life history and main ideas of Pobisk Georgievich, and also hope that in the future this text will serve as a basis for writing a full-fledged book biography.
