"Rural doctor" V. A. Alekseev, A. M. Aminev. Chuvash book publishing house. Cheboksary, 1977, circulation 8000 copies

The book is dedicated to the rural surgeon Konstantin Vasilyevich Volkov (1871-1938). In the twenties and thirties, the name of K.V. Volkov was extremely popular among surgeons. His speeches in the press and at congresses were always sharp and polemical. He spoke all European languages, subscribed to many magazines and, although he lived and worked not in the capital or in the university center, but in one of the villages of Chuvashia, he responded vividly to all more or less significant events in the surgical world. Among his many publications, the article "Surgery without danger" (Nov. hir. Architect, 1931, vol. 24, p. 390) deserves special attention, in which he sharply criticized the well-known work of SP Fedorov "Surgery at the Crossroads" , condemned the author's decadent mood.
