III Congress of Russian Psychiatrists

The Congress of Russian psychiatrists and neuropathologists held in St. Petersburg, the third in a row, lasted from December 27, 1909 to January 5, 1910. The interest of the program, the practical and scientific importance of the program issues outlined, and partly the relatively free time - the Christmas holidays - attracted almost twice as many members as the previous session in Kiev in 1905; A total of 275 people signed up. On the eve of the opening of the Sezd on December 26, an organizational office was opened in the Pirogov Museum, where the visiting participants of the Sezd received entrance tickets for a detailed program and could find out the order of the day. On the evening of the 26th, a friendly meeting took place, at which prof. Bekhterev and Chachott greeted the audience. The grand opening of the Sezd took place on December 27 in the Alexander Hall of the City Duma.
