He is the head of Theoretical Physics Division ^[2] at St. Petersburg's Nuclear Physics Institute of Russian Academy of Sciences in Gatchina. He is an Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences.^[1]

For the long period he worked with Professor Vladimir Gribov, laying a basis for a field theory description of deep inelastic scattering and annihilation (Gribov-Lipatov evolution equations, later known as DGLAP, 1972). He wrote significant papers of the Pomeranchuk singularity in Quantum chromodynamics (1977) what resulted in deriving the BFKL evolution equation (Balitsky-Fadin-Kuraev-Lipatov), contributed to the study of critical phenomena (semiclassical Lipatov's approximation), the theory of tunnelling and renormalon contribution to effective couplings.
