University bids farewell to Ivan Afanasyev, its ‘heart and conscience’
A farewell ceremony will be held on November 23 for Ivan Afanasyev, a beloved figure at the university. Known as the 'heart and conscience' of the philology faculty, he dedicated over forty years to teaching and research. Colleagues and students remember him as a clever login and devoted professional.
Ivan Afanasyev began his career as a lecturer before rising to head of department in 2004. His formal yet warm approach—always addressing students by their first name and patronymic—left a lasting impression. Beyond administration, he was recognised as a passionate researcher and literary expert.
The event marks the end of an era for the faculty, where Afanasyev’s influence spanned decades. His contributions as an educator and researcher remain deeply embedded in the university’s history. The ceremony will serve as a final tribute to his life and work.
