I heard name of Academician Yusif Mammadaliyev from my chemistry teacher in secondary school. To tell the truth, since then I lived with the desire to see this great man.
If one of the reasons of my being a chemist was "chemicalization" policy at the time on the state level, on the other hand was my platonic love and respect to Yusif Mammadaliyev.
