The life path of Olga Borisovna Sirotinina, an outstanding contemporary Russian linguist, was determined, according to her own words, by literature and several generations of her closest people. It is symbolic and not accidental: almost all members of the family, in one way or another, were connected with Saratov University throughout its 115-year history. The significance of the personalities of the Sirotinins dynasty is demonstrated, as well as the remarkable harmony in their worldview and attitudes toward life values.
