International Seminars on Stability Problems for Stochastic Models have a long tradition. The 2021 session commemorates the 90th birthday of the outstanding mathematician Vladimir Zolotarev (27.02.1931–07.11.2019) who founded these Seminars in the 1970’s. The seminars were and are attended by leading specialists in probability theory and mathematical statistics from all over the world and traditionally aim at bringing together people from Eastern and Western Europe to share their expertise, new results, exchange the ideas and discuss open problems. In this century International Seminars were held in Bulgaria, Hungary, Italy, Israel, Latvia, Norway, Romania, Russia, Spain and Poland. Previous four Seminars took place in Perm, Russia (2018), Debrecen, Hungary (2017), Svetlogorsk, Russia (2016) and Trondheim, Norway (2014).

By virtue of anti-epidemic reasons, the first session of the XXXVI Seminar was held in the on-line mode as a series of Zoom conferences on June, 22 – 26, 2020 on the Internet resources of the Karelian Research Centre of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Petrozavodsk, Russia. The second session will also be organized in the on-line mode on June, 21 – 25, 2021.

Petrozavodsk, the capital of Russian Karelia, stretches along the western coast of a large and beautiful Onego Lake. The city is the largest University and cultural centre in the North-West Russia.
