Vladìmir Anísimoff (born 14 March 1950 in Leningrad, USSR) is a Russian composer, scientist-physicist, philosopher-agnostic, writer, and philanthropist. He is a grandnephew of the revolutionary-menshevik Vasily Anisimoff and a grandnephew of the famous Soviet pedagogue Pyotr Afanasiev, who created the most popular in the young Soviet Russia ABC book in Russian language "Read, write, count" (24 editions) and the Russian language Textbook for primary school. Vladìmir Anísimoff is famous as a scientist in the field of magnetic resonance. He developed a method for the study of hidden internal surfaces, as well as he worked in the field of magnetic resonance imaging, in particular, in the study of membranes. He is also known as the author of rare duration and depth of the content of the Symphony "FrognerPark". This Symphony is similar to sculptural FrognerPark of Gustav Vigeland in Oslo and reflects a full range of feelings and emotions of a person during his life. "Unicum Organum" is his fundamental philosophical work in the understanding of human life as a continuous process of information processing by chemical processors of brain.
