The paper is published on the occasion of the 60th anniversary of the birth of professor Yu. I. Merzlyakov (01.06.1940-23.01.1995) and contains his short biography and a short list of his most important works. Yurij Ivanovich Merzlyakov has made an important contribution to various fields of group theory, especially to linear groups and representability of groups by matrices. He is well known as the author of the books [M. I. Kargapolov and Yu. I. Merzlyakov, Fundamentals of the Theory of Groups.
