Soviet blood banking of fresh cellular blood components, as well as other blood products or pertinent hematology, is reviewed at two major centers, the Order of Lenin Central Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, Moscow, and the Leningrad Institute of Hematology and Blood Transfusion, Leningrad. During two scientific exchange visits, in 1969 and 1973, clinical and research activities were reviewed. Scientific publications pertinent to the work of the individual scientists or groups visited are summarized, with bibliographic references. Professional contact is described with Soviet exchange scientists in the U.S. Brief visits to only two major institutions profoundly limit any study. However, the report provides evidence that Soviet blood bankers have some of the same problems of procurement, storage, and utilization of blood.
