To describe the life, scientific and social path of a great Russian and Soviet researcher and therapist, Professor Semen Semenovich Zimnitsky.

Materials and methods. The article analyses S.S. Zimnitskiy’s works, including the originals kept in KSMU library; archive materials; a monograph by V.F. Bogoyavlenskiy «Professor S.S. Zimnitskiy» (1970). Photos taken by one of the authors (Prof. V.N. Oslopov) are presented.

Results. The article shows how, thanks to the enormous talent, inexhaustible hard work and due to the strong support of the Soviet government, a world-famous scientist and a fiery patriot of his homeland was created from a simple Belarusian peasant’s son, who showed how to love his homeland and its people, not in words but in achievements in science and medical practice.Doctor S.S. Zimnitsky fought on the front of the Russo-Japanese War, was a member of World War I, was at the forefront of the Red Army. He can be considered one of the founders of military-field therapy. As a researcher, he was demanded in St. Petersburg, but since 1907 S.S. Zimnitsky started working in Kazan. One can wonder how one person, undoubtedly talented and efficient, was able to perform such a huge amount of work. S.S. Zimnitsky opened the Institute for Advanced Medical Studies (GIDUV), created the Department of Propaedeutics of Internal Diseases at Kazan University, was the head of 2–3 clinical departments simultaneously, created a new scientific school, managed to contribute to almost all areas of therapy and received worldwide recognition in the field of nephrology. S.S. Zimnitsky died in the prime of his strength (only 54 years old!). S.S. Zimnitsky turned out to be the closest to the KSMU Department of Propedeutics of Internal Diseases (which he created in 1926). The article describes the Department activities over the past 50 years. The Department looks after S.S. Zimnitsky’s grave at Arsky cemetery in Kazan, and in 2013 KSMU administration restored S.S. Zimnitsky’s gravestone destroyed by time. Flowers as a symbol of love, commemoration and respect can always be seen on his grave.

Key words: Semyon Zimnitsky, an outstanding researcher, therapist, functionalist, Zimnitsky test, patriot, life path.
