metadata.value: The article is devoted to biographies of Russian physicians of the Silver Age (a period in the History of
  Russian culture between 1890 and 1917). They made early, significant and internationally recognized
  contributions to medical science and became eponymous, although social disasters of the twentieth
  century caused deep impact on their subsequent lives and careers so that their role was occluded
  from the global medical community. These proceedings are devoted to the biography and academic
  achievements of Nikolay Ivanovich Taratynov (1887–1919), known for first description of a local form
  of histiocytosis X (solitary eosinophilic granuloma). It was also he who first correctly hypothesized
  that Charcot-Leyden crystals belong to products of eosinophilic leucocytes. He also studied the role of
  the immune system in the regeneration of muscles, but he was killed during Civil War in Russia. The
  previous proceeding dealt with academic and personal biography of A. K. Zivert, known for first description
  of Siewert-Kartagener triad, and the subsequent proceeding will cover also biography of their
  contemporary S. S. Abramov, discoverer of primary idiopathic myocarditis. The contribution of these
  scientists to Medicine is reviewed in the context of historical epoch against the background of their
  different individual social choices and the fate of their families. Besides their eponymous descriptions,
  other medical innovations of these scholars are analyzed. Some previously unpublished materials from
  their family archives are presented, which witness to the possible existence of an unknown prototype
  for the main hero of the novel ‘Doctor Zhivago’ by B. L. Pasternak and for probable other priorities. The
  factors facilitating rapid development of theoretical and practical Medicine in the imperial Russia of
  the late 19th and early 20th centuries are discussed. One of them was definitely the fruitful activity of
  the Imperial Kazan University, which was at the top of its academic development during that period.
  The conclusion of the author is that in any epoch, even the most cruel and unfavorable one, creative
  activity is a means toward social immortality. Refs 19. Figs 12.
