location Moscow     dates April 11 - 16, 2005     organizer Tamm Theory Department of the Lebedev Institute     briefly about history Professor E.L.Feinberg: Dear friends, dear colleagues, ladies and gentelmen! Having a questionable advantage and dubious privilege of being the oldest living member of the Theory Department, participating in its work for 69 years. I have been offered by the Organizing Committee to tell you quite briefly something about history of our Department on its origin and on its life during 70 years of its existence. Let us recall the main features of the period of its formation - the end of 1934, - both, of social life in this country and of the situation in our science, as well as on crucial events in world physics in the same period... to be continued     sponsors Russian Academy of Sciences Ministry of Education and Science of the Russian Federation Russian Foundation for Basic Research Dynasty Foundation     topics A preliminary list of topics to be covered includes: Dark Matter High-Energy Astrophysics Astrophysics of Black Holes Strongly Correlated Electrons Quantum Liquids and Quantum Coherence Dissipative Structures in Nonlinear Dynamics Theory and Phenomenology of Strong Interactions Superstrings Quantum Field Theory Higher-Spin Gauge Theory Quantum Gravity     scientific program Sessions will be in the P.N.Lebedev Physical Insitute (53, Leninsky Prospect). Scientific Program will be mainly composed of invited talks. A limited number of suggested talks may be accepted. Proposals can be submitted via Suggested Talk Application Form before March 7, 2005.     international advisory committee A.Andreev (Kapitza Inst., Moscow)   I.Antoniadis (CERN)   J.Bahcall (Inst. for Advanced Study, Princeton)   J.Bekenstein (Hebrew Univ., Jerusalem)   L.Brink (Chalmers Univ., Goteborg)   S.Deser (Brandeis Univ.)   B.de Wit (Univ. of Utrecht)   V.Fainberg (Lebedev Inst., Moscow)   E.Feinberg (Lebedev Inst., Moscow)   M.Henneaux (Univ.
