Abstract: In the process of writing a scientometric article about Academician V. Tatsiy, we have carefully analyzed more than 150 scientific professional articles on the figure of the leader of modern jurisprudence. The lion’s share of scientific works came directly from the pen of the Honored and Honorary Rector of the Yaroslav the Wise NSU. The material in this work can be a good basis for citations and writing new scientific works about V. Tatsiy. Within the framework of the scientometric paradigm, it should be noted that the scientific works about V. Tatsiy written by V.I. Borisov are quite powerful, and they are characterized by a special atmosphere of adopting the work of the leader as a strategist and founder of the science of criminal law. It should be noted that a large cohort of criminal law scholars of Kharkiv National University of Internal Affairs (KNIA) is directly related to the staff of Yaroslav the Wise National University, and in some respects, as it is supposed to be, in order for a student to be better than his teacher, especially with regard to criminological developments, KNIA, as a police university, occupies a leading position thanks to such scholars as O.M. Litvinov, Y.V. Orlov and many other well-known personalities. V. Tatsiy was rightly proud of Kharkiv jurisprudence, Kharkiv law school, which is unthinkable without Kharkiv National University of Internal Affairs. It is a shame that today the National Academy of Legal Sciences of Ukraine has suffered serious damage from the shelling of Russian aggression, of which V. Tatsiy was president for many years. Any word of Vasyl Tatsiy was marked by special simplicity, wisdom, and inspiration. He has always inspired faith and hope in thousands of lawyers and continues to live today in the souls and hearts of grateful students and all those who are interested in this great figure of modern jurisprudence. It is said that a person lives as long as the memory of him or her lives. That is why, on the occasion of the glorious 85th anniversary of Vasyl Tatsiy, the staff of Kharkiv National University of Internal Affairs expresses its sincere feelings of respect and gratitude for his great/high contribution to the benefit of legal science and the people of Ukraine. We express our sincere respect to V.Y. Tatsiy for the standard/ example/example of life and scientific activity, humanity and education, highly intellectual service to the Ukrainian people. We wish all of us, in this difficult time of the Russian-Ukrainian war, creative inspiration and new great achievements for the benefit of Ukraine’s bright future and the long-awaited peace that is so lacking now.
