MEMORIES
Notes and Memoirs by Radovskyi B.S. about Ehorov S.V.: "Serhii Viktorovych was a smart and educated man and had a wonderful memory. I have reason to believe that if the staff of the Institute were to arrange a control dictation on the Russian language, he would have made the least number of mistakes, although he graduated from an ordinary secondary school. Serhii Viktorovych was well versed in people and was very friendly to them, was able to manage the team, sometimes quite tough, and at the same time he remained modest and decent. He was a big fan of hunting and fishing. Serhii Viktorovych considered his tasks associated with the position of Director to be: to recruit enough good employees, to help them get the topic, useful and interesting from the scientific point of view and not to interfere with their work ".
