Israil PERELMAN: the shore of his life, or the distance of youth lived (to the 130th of birthday)

Abstract

For Professor Israil Moiseevich Perelman (1892-1954) the events of the second half of 1951 unfolded tragically. The release from the head of the department of general surgery and the appointment to the post of head of the department of topographic anatomy with operative surgery of the Yaroslavl Medical Institute deprived him of the opportunity to practice practical surgery. Such objections were not accepted, and I.M. Perelman was fired from the institute as not starting work. In the spring of 1952, the disgraced professor returned to Belarus. Having visited Minsk and found himself on the banks of the post-war Svisloch, he poignantly felt the atmosphere of Lyakhovka half a century ago. Memory brought him back to the summer of 1905, when he became a student of the Minsk real school a storehouse of knowledge for those who, following the results of their studies, were willingly enrolled in metropolitan universities. Talented teachers took an active part in shaping the personality of Israil Perelman, including Samoilo I.I., Gurvich O.Ya., Pionier L.O., Skokanek A.I. The period of adolescence was also enriched by the first charm of the soul, when Israil experienced sympathy for the one who became the secret of ardent feelings. Their reciprocity turned out to be fragile, short-lived and irretrievably gone into the distant past. In a real school, fate brought the young man to O.L. Lunts, who served here as a staff doctor. As an experienced clinician and an outstanding public figure, the doctor shared his life experience. His stories strengthened the desire to engage in healing and instilled faith in the correctness of the choice of the future profession. The logical result of seven years of study in a real school was the receipt of a certificate of complete secondary education, bringing Israil Perelman one step closer to achieving his main dream to be a doctor.
