The results of the search, restoration and systematization of research topics and publications of the first head of the Department of Thermal Injuries of the Military Medical Academy named after S.M. Kirov professor Tuviy Yakovlevich Ariev in the post-war period. The presentation of the material is connected with the urgent tasks that the faculty of the Academy solved in the first years after the end of the Great Patriotic War. The objective difficulties of the work of scientists in Leningrad in the second half of the 1940s are underlined. Nevertheless, T.Ya. Aryev, like many of his colleagues, was able to summarize the clinical material accumulated in front-line medical institutions in the shortest possible time and, only 4 years after returning from the army, to defend his doctoral dissertation. The high quality of the research performed is evidenced by the fact that the materials obtained formed the basis for a separate chapter in the multivolume edition «The Experience of Soviet Medicine in the Great Patriotic War 1941–1945». In addition, T.Ya. Ariev took part in writing several more chapters in this work, the topics of which were also related to the topic of his doctoral dissertation research. He willingly shared the knowledge gained, the experience of preparing for the defense of dissertations and the principles of scientific leadership with young scientists and their leaders. Continued service as head of the Department of Military Field Surgery at the Saratov Military Medical Faculty allowed him to accumulate invaluable experience in the formation and leadership of the scientific and clinical team. Analysis of the subject matter of publications in the 1950s. testifies to the intensive work on improving the diagnosis and treatment of urgent surgical pathology in peacetime. About the high authority among colleagues that T.Ya. Ariev for 4 years of service at the faculty is evidenced by the right to give a speech. The experience accumulated in Saratov will allow him not only to head, but also to effectively manage for many years the first department and clinic of thermal injuries in our country, created in 1960 at the S.M. Kirov.
