History of the All-Russian Society of Pediatricians

Abstract

The article tells the history of the All-Russian Society of Pediatricians. It presents the results of studying scientific papers, statutes of the Society, reports, articles and resolutions of the congresses of the RSFSR pediatricians. These materials revealed a little-known fact: the All-Russian Society of Pediatricians that was functioning from 1959 to 1994 had a predecessor — the RSFSR Society of Pediatricians that had been working for the period of 1933 to 1940. Moreover, in hard times of the Great Patriotic War and the first postwar years, the management of the All-Russian Society was functioning as the All-Union Society until the Congress VI held in 1947.
