The first hygienist of Kazan University Fedor Kalaydovich

Abstract

Essay on the history of social hygiene.On the history of the Department of Hygiene of Kazan University on the occasion of its 125th anniversary.We are poor in the history of our Russian universities in general. The three oldest medical universities (Moscow, Medical-Surgical Academy and Kazan) have only 100-year-old stories written, although the oldest of them, Moscow University, is approaching its 175th anniversary. Kazan University has a major beginning of its 100-year history, however, embracing only the first 25 years of its existence; the author of this major work in 4 voluminous volumes is Professor NP Zagoskin; under his editorship, the "Biographical Dictionary of Professors and Teachers of Kazan University" was published, covering the entire period of the 100th anniversary of Kazan University (1804-1904). Kazan University also has an interesting and valuable historical monograph in 2 volumes by N. Bulich "From the first years of Kazan University", but also embracing only a limited first 15-year period of the university (1805-1819).
