This paper prepared to the 100th birthday of Academician Yu.A. Kuznetsov follows the main steps of his life and professional career. The most important scientific works by Yu.A. Kuznetsov are reviewed, which are concerned largely with problems of petrography and petrology, with relationships between magmatism and tectonics, magmatism and ore formation. A considerable place is occupied by analysis of the history of the Kuznetsov school of thought, involved with igneous formations, state of the art of this line of research, and the problems lying ahead.
