metadata.value: The article is devoted to biographies of three Russian physicians of the Silver Age (a period in the History
  of Russian culture between 1890 and 1917). They made an early, significant and internationally
  recognized contribution to medical science and became eponymous, although the social disasters of
  the twentieth century were to deeply impact their subsequent lives and careers, and so their role has
  been obscured in the global medical community. The proceeding is devoted to biography and academic
  achievements of A-F. K. Siewert (Zivert) (1872–1922), known for the fi rst description of the hereditary
  dyskinesia of cilia (as a triad of: situs inversus of the viscera, abnormal frontal sinuses producing
  sinusitis and bronchiectasis). The subsequent proceedings will cover also biographies of his contemporaries:
  S. S. Abramov, the discoverer of primary idiopathic myocarditis, and N. I. Taratynov, who was
  the first to describe a local form of histiocytosis X (solitary eosinophilic granuloma). The contribution
  of these scientists to Medicine is reviewed in context of a historical epoch, against the background
  of their different individual social choices and the fates of their families. Besides their eponymous
  descriptions, other medical priorities of these scholars are analyzed. Some previously unpublished materials
  from their family archives are presented, which witness to the possibility of a hitherto unknown
  prototype for the main hero of the novel Doctor Zhivago novel by Boris Pasternak and for the probable
  priorities of doctor Zivert in the formulation of the active diastole concept, or doctor Abramov in the
  description of dilated cardiomyopathy. The factors facilitating rapid development of theoretical and
  practical Medicine in imperial Russia of late 20th and early 21st centuries are discussed. One of them
  definitely was the factor of broad contacts between Russian physicians of that period and their Western
  European colleagues, free from any linguistic, economical, political or bureaucratic restrictions. The
  conclusion of the author is that in any epoch, even the most cruel and unfavorable one, creative activity
  is a path to social immortality. Refs 30. Figs 2.
