A.S. Kronrod captivated a large group of mathematicians and physicists ([[Georgy Adelson-Velsky|G.M. Adelson Velsky]], A.L. Brudno, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bongard_problem M.M. Bongard], [[Mathematician#Landis|E.M. Landis]], [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nikolay_Konstantinov N.N. Konstantinov], and others). Although some of them had arrived at this kind of problems on their own, they unconditionally accepted his leadership. In the room next to the one housing the M2 machine the work of the new Kronrod seminar started. At the gatherings there were heated discussions on [[Pattern Recognition|pattern recognition]] problems (this work was led by M.M. Bongard; versions of his program "Kora" are still functioning), transportation problems (the problem was introduced to the seminar and actively worked on by A.L. Brudno), problems of automata theory, and many other problems.
