Supersymmetry at BLTP: how it started and where we are

Abstract

This is a brief review of the BLTP activity in supersymmetry initiated by V.I. Ogievetsky (1928-1996) and lasting for more than 30 years. The main emphasis is made on the superspace geometric approaches and unconstrained superfield formulations. Alongside such milestones as the geometric formulation of N=1 supergravity and the harmonic superspace approach to extended supersymmetry, I sketch some other developments largely contributed by the Dubna group.
