XX INTERNATIONAL BALDIN SEMINAR 
ON HIGH ENERGY PHYSICS PROBLEMS 
"RELATIVISTIC NUCLEAR PHYSICS & QUANTUM CHROMODYNAMICS"

Dubna, October 4-9, 2010
======================================================================

SECOND BULLETIN
---------------

The XX International Baldin Seminar on High Energy Physics Problems 
"Relativistic Nuclear Physics and Quantum Chromodynamics", 
organized by the Joint Institute for Nuclear Research will be held 
from October 4 to 9, 2010 in Dubna, Russia. 

The Seminar continues the series of traditional meetings and was established
by an outstanding scientist Academician A.M. Baldin (1926-2001). 
Among conferences that were organized by Alexander Michailovich of special 
importance is just this series of the International Seminars on High-Energy 
Physics Problems started in 1969 with M. A. Markov's (1908-1994) support. 
They have been given an inofficial, somewhat witty, name "Baldin autumn".
