Since 1901, after death of Manassein, V.A., the journal has been published under title “Russky Vrach”, and in 1910 has been placed under censorship regime. In 1988, decision on publication renewal has been taken at the initiative of the academician, Chazov, E.I., at the I All-Union Medical Congress. First issue of the renewed journal was released in 1990.
