The article is devoted to life and work of Max Skoblo (1899–1963), an outstanding professor of neurology, who was a director of the Institute for Surgical Neurology in Leningrad. A devoted communist, he was twice purged (in 1937 he was convicted to 10 years of imprisonment at concentration camps in Kolyma, and in 1949 he was sent to exile for 5 years to Siberia). In 1955 he was rehabilitated and restored his membership in the Communist Party in 1956.
