Abstract
This year professor Vygantas Paulauskas is celebrating his 75 birthday. An outstanding probabilist he is well known for his research in the field of probability limit theorems and mathematical statistics. He was the moving spirit behind the organization of the Vilnius conferences in Probability and Statistics 2008–2018. The conversation gives a glimpse into the mathematical life of our country in the 1970s, 1980s, and 1990s.
