November 13 of this year marks the 150th anniversary of the birth of Nikolai Ivanovich Pirogov, a genius doctor of the 19th century, an outstanding figure in Russian medicine, who made an invaluable contribution to world science. NI Pirogov had to work in an extremely difficult situation. Material insecurity of scientific and medical institutions of that time forced him to work in unsuitable premises, with a lack of air and light, with insufficient equipment. The moral situation was also difficult in the conditions of the tsarist reaction and the lawlessness of that time. But the lofty ideas of humanism prompted N. I. Pirogov to work under these conditions, not sparing his strength and health, overcoming all difficulties and hardships.
