The life and work of academician Gromov Sergei Alekseevitch (to 225-anniversary of birth-date)

«As to continue my 50-year period of work in medicine, I noted the way the medical science is developing in the fatherland. And as I have seen its quick development I could have hardly stay not amazed. For half-century before that we were only students and the followers of our leaders - foreign men, because we didn’t have any native leader in any of the medicine field. But now, thanks God...we are equal to their level and can do our way ourselves».

S.A. Gromov (1852)
