Abstract: This article deals with the papers by M. A. Leontovich on the subject of thermodynamics and statistical physics. Primary attention is given to the paper entitled “The fundamental equations of the kinetic theory of gases from the standpoint of the theory of random processes”, which was published in 1935 in Zhurnal Eksperimentarnoi i Teoreticheskoi Fiziki, No. 5. This paper is one of the basic works in the modern statistical theory of nonequilibrium processes.
