ВИННИЦКИЙ ИЛЬЯ МАРКОВИЧ

Abstract

The article is devoted to the activities of an outstanding person - scientist, helminthologist, geneticist, Doctor of Biology Sciences, Professor I.M.Vinnitsky (1910-1951). Ilya Markovich was the head of several biological departments of medical institutes in the Soviet Union (Simferopol, Tomsk, Sverdlovsk, Samarkand). His life was extraordinary, bright and at the same time difficult. Despite the fact that the period of his labor activity at that time fell on the era of the organization and formation of many medical institutes, his scientific, pedagogical and organizational activities left important, necessary traces for fu- ture generations of doctors in our country. Nevertheless, the archives and departments, as it turned out, do not contain rich information even about the great and significant people of that period. Perhaps this is due to wartime, when only in Simferopol the Crimean Medical Institute experienced 2 evacuations and countless bombings. Ilya Markovich’s family members, son Vladimir Ilyich and grandson Danil Vladimirovich, helped the authors to restore the lost parts of the biography, but in essence they were told on the basis of the surviving part of the copies of documents, so that we know and remember, and could pass on to future generations about our teachers and inspirers. The article is part of a series of publications of the Department of Medical Biology, dedicated to the 90th anniver- sary of the Medical Academy named after S.I. Georgievsky and the 90th anniversary of the Department of Medical Biology, the anniversary of which fell on 2021.
