About the Author

The author worked at the Institute of Control Sciences of the USSR Academy of Sciences. His research interests were in optimal theory and its applications. He had published over 40 papers in these areas and two books Theory of Linear Optimal Multivariable Control Systems and Control Systems with Time-lag. He was an editor of 14 books of the publishing house “Nauka.”
After immigrating in the United States, in December 1987, he started teaching at the University of Maryland, first in the Department of Electrical Engineering, then in the Department of Mechanical Engineering, and at the University of the District of Columbia in the Department of Mathematics. Since 1999 he has been involved in projects related to the aerospace industry. He wrote the books Modern Missile Guidance, Taylor & Francis, 2007 (Extended Second Edition, 2018), which was translated in Europe and China, and Guidance of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles, Taylor & Francis, 2011.
Starting in 2010, his company Research and Technology Consulting focuses on economic problems related to the 2008 economic crisis. He published the book Applied Macroeconomics for Public Policy, Academic Press, Elsevier, 2018.
Since the social behavior of human beings is an important factor in the macroeconomic and macrosociological models, macrosociology and societal development attracted the author’s attention during his work on the above mentioned book and motivated to write the book Sociology, Politics, and Human Nature, Peter Lang, 2021.
The crisis of American democracy in 2021 (polarization of American society, politicization of public services, neo-Marxism, censorship, racial equity agenda, etc.) induced the author to write a book that would help a wide public to understand that the current situation is the result of power struggle between elites. Knowledge of the methods and tools used in politics, their interpretation from the position of system analysis and control theory, should help readers to distinguish false from truth, hypocrisy from sincerity and become politically knowledgeable voters - a necessary condition for successful democracies.
He is included in "Who's Who in America," "Who's Who in Science and Engineering," and "Who's Who in American Education," as well as "International Professional of the Year 2008" and "2000 Outstanding Intellectuals of the 21st Century.
