The beginning of the rapid development of theoretical and applied magnetohydrodynamics (MHD) during the end of the 1950s can be understood only by following the activities of a single talented, creative, and dedicated individual – a man who was appointed executive director of the newly established Institute of Physics at the Latvian Academy of Sciences. This was an unusual appointment because the person we are referring to, Professor Igor Mikhailovich Kirko, had just celebrated his 30th birthday. To the best of my knowledge, Kirko was the first to direct a scientific institution that made a broad experimental investigation on different phenomena of magnetohydrodynamics.
