Certain aspects of his work in scientific and pedagogical activities, including the training of lawyers and scientists from other countries, his huge contribution to the creation of scientific and didactic material on forensic science in the countries where he was sent as a Soviet specialist are shown. There are many followers in his scientific school, in their scientific works the system-activity and information approaches in forensic activity are implemented. The purpose of this study is the desire to more fully reveal the provisions that characterize his contribution to the development of scientific knowledge about the forensic science of information technology, as well as his practical experience in didactics.
