Abstract

The next meeting of the Society of Naval Doctors of Kronstadt was held on February 25, 2021. in the reading room of the library of the Kronstadt Naval Hospital. The meeting was attended by 36 members and guests of the Society, including 15 4th-year cadets of the Faculty of Training Doctors for the Navy of the Military Medical Academy named after S. M. Kirov. We heard and discussed the report of the chairman of the Society of Naval Doctors of Kronstadt, Professor Nikitin E.A. «Kronstadt Naval Hospital in the revolutionary events of 1917–1921. The Kronstadt Mutiny.» The revolutionary events of 1917–1921 played a huge social significance in the life of the Russian state. To date, there is no unambiguous political assessment of the Kronstadt mutiny of 1921 and its suppression. Thanks to the selfless work of doctors, medical assistants, nurses, and orderlies of the Kronstadt Naval Hospital, despite the huge overload of the hospital with wounded and infectious patients, all patients (rebels and suppressing the mutiny) were provided with the necessary medical care and they received proper care.
