I All-Union Congress of Neuropathologists and Psychiatrists in Moscow

The Moscow Congress of Psycho-neuropathologists was convened by the People's Commissariat for Health of the RSFSR on the initiative of the All-Union Conference on Psychiatry and Neurology held in 1925. Having its own organizational committee, the Congress was not connected with the last Leningrad Congress of Neurologists, Psychologists and Psychiatrists held in 1924, and therefore could call itself "the first". Its Organizing Committee, under the chairmanship of Prof. V. K. Korotko, did a great deal of preliminary work in organizing the scientific forces of the S'ezda. There were about 700 participants in S'ezda. The honorary chairmen were Acad. V. M. Bekhterev, Prof. L. S. Minor and Prof. G. I. Rossolimo. The Congress heard 18 reports of the Organizing Committee and more than 200 reports on individual program and non-program issues.
