Kozlov L.A. ― MD, Professor of the Department of Obstetrics and Gynecology named after Prof. V.S. Gruzdev

Address: 49 Butlerov Str., 420012, Kazan, Russian Federation, tel. +7-906-115-16-56, e-mail: [email protected]

Professor V.S. Gruzdev was working in Kazan for 38 years (1900-1938). According to his disciple Prof. P.V. Manenkov, he “…linked the past of the Russian obstetrics and gynecology with the present through his activity”. By evidences of his disciples, Professor V.S. Gruzdev’s activity was multisided. When we study his publications, we clearly see two areas of his interests. One is continuous strive for cognizing the truth by thorough performance of scientific research; the second is introducing the obtained results into practice and informing the people about it. The grave political and state changes which were taking place in the country at that time did not become an obstacle on his way of scientific-practical research and popularization. Moreover, in the hard years of civil war he did not leave the city, which became his home, and the clinic he loved, but continued his unrepeated work in the newly formed Tatar Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. The TASSR government thanked him by installing a marble monument on the tomb of this man of indefatigable industry. The article shows V.S. Gruzdev as a coryphaeus of science recognized by his colleagues and his enlightening activity. Some publications are paid special attention to, in particular, the essence of a rare booklet “Heredity” by V.S. Gruzdev.

Key words: history of medicine, Kazan Medical University, coryphaei of science, V.S. Gruzdev.
