“Vladimir Babitsky moved to the West after the end of the period of Perestroika. He was born before the Second World War. The theory of vibro-impact systems that he developed was instrumental in the creation of a number of record-breaking machines, including the safest jackhammer in the world. The author has lived through a number of fascinating epochs, including experiencing life under totalitarianism, witnessing the fall of the Soviet Union, and then moving to Europe as a specialist in his field after making a move there. The journey of an engineer, from childhood daydreams to the creation of new technologies, from East to West, and from concepts to realities, is the subject of the animated and highly engaging story “On the Waves of a Pulsating World,” which tells the tale. In addition to that, it is the story of individuals who triumph over authoritarianism.”
