Abstract
The study is dedicated to N.V. Sklifosovsky and aims to expand and preserve the historical memory of this outstanding scientist, surgeon and physiologist, teacher and public figure on the example of newly discovered and rare facts related to the life and creative achievements of N.V. Sklifosovsky.
As a result of our research, two new historical documents from the Poltava Regional Archive were introduced into scientific circulation for the first time: N.V. Sklifosovsky’s letters to his daughter Olga Sklifosovskaya-Yakovleva and his closest student, surgeon Mikhail P. Yakovlev, shedding light on their family relationships and providing facts about the construction and opening of the “Clinical town” on the Maiden’s Field (Devichye Pole). It follows from this correspondence that N.V. Sklifosovsky took an active part in its foundation. This side of his activity has not been reflected in the scientific and historical literature.
Other rare facts include a photograph of the coat of arms of Privy Councilor Nikolai Sklifosovsky, time of its approval and explanations for the symbols depicted on it. There are also photographs of the oil painting by A. Sidorov located in Vinnitsa which depicts the arrival of N.V. Sklifosovsky to Vishnya estate of the great Russian surgeon N.I. Pirogov, as well as the gravestone of N.V. Sklifosovsky’s son Vladimir with the first bars of P.I. Tchaikovsky.
For the first time in the scientific literature, photographs of a large, full-length portrait of N.V. Sklifosovsky by the artist E.V. Kudryavtsev (1947), as well as N.V. Sklifosovsky’s great-grandson Leon Birkett by this portrait (1975).
Thus, this article makes a new contribution to the history of Russian medicine.
