On several occasions she was a participant and scientific manager of mutual scientific field researches of associates of the Lomonosov Faculty of Geography and associates of our Institute both in Serbia and in Russia.

For those associates who got to know her better, Elena was a quiet and gentle friend with a constant smile on her face that radiated kindness. We are comforted to know that her smile will forever remain in our memories, in our stories and will be the first image that appears when her name is mentioned.

We express our sincere condolences to the colleagues from the Faculty of Geography of Lomonosov Moscow State University, the family and loved ones of Elena Leonidovna.
