He was capital-P professor. He felt the school’s breath very well

Abstract

The text serves as a witness to the masterful work done by V.V. Repkin as a scientist, psychologist, and teacher of the Russian language, with whom the author had the opportunity to work for more than twenty years. Additionally, it highlights Repkin's other equally important contributions to the creation of research centers in various regions and cities, as well as teacher training institutions in Kharkiv, Tomsk, Riga, Samara, and elsewhere. Finally, the text mentions the practical side of the Professor, beyond his theoretical activity, including his ability to enchant, and infect, his incredible sense of humor, and above all, his tireless pursuit of perfection in his work.
