Abstract
The essay addresses a little-known episode of the World War I: the defense of Petrograd against assault coming from the Baltic Sea. Relevant information about Peter the Great’s Naval Fortress and its strategic significance is presented with emphasis on its medical (sanitary) services. Personal data about medical officers of the Naval Administration, Baltic Fleet, and the Fortress and its port are compiled. The essay is intended to open the series of publications dedicated to the medical service of the Fortress, including medical facilities of Revel (Tallinn), Helsingfors (Helsinki), Vyborg, Libava, Kronstadt, and Petrograd, the medical troops of land forces of the Fortress and of Baltic Fleet ships, and of the hospital ships of the Fortress. The principal objective of the investigation is to reconstruct the names of medical doctors and nurses in service of the medical facilities of the Fortress.
