Abstract
The article presents biographical data on the life and activities of Grodno military doctors D. L. Glinsky (1857-1916) and K. N. Krechunesco (1873-1905) who participated in the expedition of the Russian Red Cross in 1896 to provide medical care to the people of Abyssinia (at present Ethiopia) who suffered during the Italo-Abyssinian war of 1896-1897, and subsequently served in the military medical institutions of St. Petersburg, as well as on ships of the Russian fleet during the Russo-Japanese war during 1904 and 1905. This article is the first attempt in Belarusian historiography to collect together all available materials related to the biography of the aforementioned military doctors. It should be noted that until now there have been no data on the service of K. N. Krechunesco in the Grodno garrison together with D. L. Glinsky in the scientific literature. The theoretical and practical significance of the article is due to a number of forthcoming milestone anniversaries related to the biographies of its main characters, as well as the 120th anniversary of the beginning of the Russo-Japanese War of 1904-1905, the hero of which was K. N. Krechunesco. In addition, recently, the Grodno State University named after Ya. Kupala and Harare Polytechnic College (Ethiopia), where Grodno military doctors worked in the past, signed a cooperation agreement on the training of the necessary specialists for this African country.
