Inscription of the Centenary in UNESCO memorial calendar

Inscription of Leontief’s anniversary into the UNESCO 2006 memorial calendar

The International institute of Pitirim Sorokin-Nikolay Kondratyev addressed in December 2004 to Mr. Ordzhonikidze G.E., the Responsible Secretary of the RF Commission for UNESCO, with the request to initiate a motion to inscribe the Leontief’s centenary to the UNESCO 2006 calendar of memorial dates. In addition, the Russian Academy of Sciences addressed the letter with the request to inscribe the Leontief’s centenary in the UNESCO 2006 memorial calendar to the Minister for Foreign Affairs Mr. Lavrov early in 2005. The First Deputy Minister for foreign affairs of the Russian Federation Mr. Loschinin responded that unfortunately the deadline for applications to inscribe a date to the 2006-2007 memorial calendars according to UNESCO rules had expired. Nevertheless, the Commission of the Russian Federation for UNESCO, sharing a high estimation of Leontief’s great contribution to world science, is ready to support the actions of the Russian Academy of Sciences devoted to Leontief’s centenary and to render feasible assistance under appropriate application.

The International Input-Output Association, a foreign partner of the Leontief Centre in organizing celebration of Leontief’s centenary, initiated in 2005 the address of the New York University to the Ambassador and the member of Permanent Mission of the USA to UNESCO to support the above proposal to inscribe Leontief’s centenary to the UNESCO 2006 list of memorials dates.
