Abstract

This article tells about the dynasty of doctors – Bobrovih. A labor dynasty is a phenomenon in which people of the same profession pass on their skills and glorious labor traditions from generation to generation. Labor dynasties are not artificial, they are created and formed by themselves - naturally: young workers take an example from their elders, the elders admire the best, and so a working dynasty is formed, which becomes part of a large medical family. The article tells about who Viktor Ivanovich Bobrov is and for what merits he is still remembered. Every child inherits from his parents not only intellectual abilities, genes and even facial features, but also quite often their professions. The article tells about Bobrov's daughters, who continued the work of Viktor Ivanovich. The Bobrov family has its own special document, it is called "The list of merits rendered to the Russian Society of the Red Cross by the chief paramedic of the Ryazan Red Cross Hospital Viktor Ivanovich Bobrov." In this regard, it is now possible to meet whole generations of hereditary lawyers, actors and even doctors.

The problem of studying the succession of family dynasties is important and relevant. One may wonder whether the profession is hereditary. If you study various historical facts, you can see that a large number of descendants are engaged in music in a family of musicians, that a grandfather, father and son sew boots in a family of shoemakers. There are dynasties of doctors and teachers. Modern society needs role models more than ever. An example for someone may be the genus Beaver. Doctors are always subject to high ethical and legal requirements. These are people who must have certain qualities: they must be demanding first of all to themselves, they must be compassionate, they must have compassion for people, they must devote themselves wholeheartedly to medicine and, of course, they must have fortitude and determination in difficult situations. Medical ethics is a very complex and elusive concept. It includes altruism, generosity and enthusiasm.There is a willingness to always come to the rescue. Every child inherits from his parents not only intellectual abilities, genes and even facial features, but also quite often their professions. In this regard, it is now possible to meet whole generations of hereditary lawyers, actors and even doctors. The family dynasty, (professional) represents the transfer of experience from knowledge.These skills and abilities are passed from parent to child. In addition, a professional dynasty is an atmosphere in the family, thanks to which children have a desire to follow in the footsteps of their parents. Every successful person, in all periods of human life, tries to pass on to his children the knowledge and skills that he possesses. And in each generation, these professional skills and abilities have been improved. Such families in which a child follows in the footsteps of his parent, inheriting his profession, are called dynasties. At all times, such family professional dynasties were treated with respect. One of these dynasties is the Bobrovs. The dynasty extends from grandfather to granddaughter, great-granddaughter and great-great-granddaughter. The Bobrov family is very famous not only in Russia, but all over the world. The Beaver Dynasty is a world—famous scientific dynasty that has several generations.

"A labor dynasty is a phenomenon in which people of the same profession pass on their skills and glorious labor traditions from generation to generation" [1]. Labor dynasties are not artificial, they are created and formed by themselves - naturally: young workers take an example from their elders, the elders admire the best, and so a working dynasty is formed, which becomes part of a large medical family. The Bobrov dynasty consists of five generations of doctors. His ancestor is Viktor Ivanovich Bobrov. The famous doctor Viktor Ivanovich Bobrov was born in the family of a school teacher in the village of Vysheli, Penza region. After completing the spiritual seminar, he entered the State University of Dorpat, where, together with the future rector N.N. Burdenko, he headed the Penza Student Organization. This friendship lasted their whole life.

Burdenko Nikolay Nilovich is a famous Russian, Soviet surgeon. When he was a fourth–year student, he actively participated in the First World War (in the Russian-Japanese conflict). On the battlefields, he provided surgical care to wounded soldiers. He worked in the so-called "flying cars" - sanitary trains [1]. Thanks to his influence and friendly insistence, Viktor Ivanovich Bobrov and his wife Polina Fedorovna Leontovskaya, also a surgeon by training, after completing their studies at the medical institute, volunteered for the front. They also saved the lives of wounded soldiers, carried out operations in special flying medical detachments.

Viktor Ivanovich Bobrov performed his first operations in the hospitals of the First World War, where he got together with his friend Nikolai Burdenko after graduating from the medical faculty of the Imperial Yuriev University. In Voronezh, together with Burdenko, they organized a medical process at the public clinic of the Red Cross at the Mykolaiv Medical Faculty.During his service, Viktor Ivanovich made about twelve trips to various sectors of the front. For his dedication, for his work under enemy fire, Viktor Ivanovich was awarded the Orders of St. Anna of the 3rd degree, St. Stanislav of the 2nd degree and St. Stanislav of the 3rd degree with swords.

The Bobrov family has its own special document, it is called "The list of merits rendered to the Russian Society of the Red Cross by the chief paramedic of the Ryazan Red Cross Hospital Viktor Ivanovich Bobrov." This document tells that from August 26, 1914 to July 1, 1918, he and his wife made twelve business trips to various sections of the fronts of the First World War. These business trips were from Vilna (Vilnius) to Vladivostok and even to Romania, to the hospital of Prince Mir Murchi. It was here that the combat positions and rear hospitals were located directly.

For the operations carried out, Viktor Ivanovich Bobrov was awarded several Orders. As his daughter was later told, in 1918, Viktor Ivanovich Bobrov, along with his other academician Nikolai Burdenko, arrived in Voronezh. The trip was organized as part of the University of Dorpat. In Voronezh, surgical friends continued their professional activities. On the basis of the Mykolaiv Community Hospital (Red Cross Hospital" Viktor Ivanovich and Nikolai Nilovich organized their educational and therapeutic work. Even then, the direction of bone and joint surgery stood out in it" [2]. In 1924, Viktor Ivanovich Bobrov also opened a department for patients with tuberculosis of joints and bones in Voronezh. It was the first medical institution in the city and even in the region at that time.

Viktor Ivanovich worked as a surgeon throughout his life and was the head of the Department of Surgery (Faculty of Traumatology and Orthopedics of the Medical Institute). He performed quite complex operations with: - urological, - orthopedic, - abdominal problems. Viktor Ivanovich Bobrov defended his doctoral dissertation in medicine in 1920. And in 1923, after his friend Nikolai Burdenko moved to Moscow, Viktor Ivanovich became the head of the department. In total, Viktor Ivanovich held this position for about thirty-five years.

As a surgeon, Viktor Ivanovich performed the most complex operations, he operated on the bone system. Throughout his work, he managed to save a huge number of people from the fate of becoming a cripple. But, unfortunately, the most outstanding surgeon could not escape from this fate. So, in 1932, when he was riding a bicycle down the street, he was hit by a car. His leg was injured, which even he could not heal. until the end of his life, Viktor Ivanovich remained lame, while he was constantly in pain. In this regard, it became more difficult for Viktor Ivanovich to operate on his patients, as he had to stand at the operating table for a long time. But despite this, Viktor Ivanovich never raised his voice at his employees during operations, did not burst out, he always maintained professional calm. For these and many other qualities, Bobrov was very much loved by his students and staff. At the department, which he headed, five doctors and fourteen candidates of sciences defended their dissertations.

Viktor Ivanovich Bobrov passed away in 1949. His followers were not only his disciples, but also his daughters. Back in 1920, Viktor Ivanovich's wife, Polina Fedorovna, also a surgeon by training, gave birth to her first child, daughter Nina. Subsequently, the surgeons had two more daughters – Elena and Olga. When their daughters grew up, they also followed in the footsteps of their great surgical parents, thereby also devoting their entire lives to medicine. The successors of the dynasty of physicians were also the grandchildren of Viktor Ivanovich. Nina Viktorinovna later became a surgeon, Elena Viktorinovna became an ophthalmologist, and the youngest of the Bobrov sisters, Olga Viktorinovna, became a traumatologist. The sisters respected their parents so much that, after getting married, they did not change their famous surname. Currently, the Bobrov dynasty is one of the oldest Voronezh medical dynasties.

The eldest daughter of Viktor Ivanovich, Nina Victorinovna Bobrova, was born in Voronezh, but her family was originally from Penza. Nina Victorinovna graduated with honors from the Voronezh Medical Academy and was immediately evacuated to Ulyanovsk to work in an evacuation hospital. She was drafted into the army. She worked as a doctor in a separate unit in the Volga Military District, and then in a qualifying surgical hospital in Saratov. Since then, she has never stopped practicing surgery. Nina Victorinovna made a long and brilliant career in medicine, graduated from medical school with honors, worked as a doctor in a hospital during the Great Patriotic War, returned to Voronezh, worked as a surgeon all her life and was in charge of the surgical department for many years.

Her daughter, Galina Nikolaevna, is a doctor, teaches at the Department of Therapy of FUVU. Her sons, Nikolai, recently graduated from the Voronezh Medical Academy, and the youngest, Mikhail, is studying in the fourth year of the medical faculty. Elena Victorinovna, was the youngest daughter of Viktor Ivanovich. Later she became an associate professor of ophthalmology. Thanks to her work, she managed to save the sight of many patients. She, like her older sisters, was born in Voronezh. Although her family was originally from Penza. Elena Victorinovna Bobrova graduated from Voronezh Medical Institute. Almost immediately after graduating from the Institute, Elena Viktorinovna began her clinical internship. At the same time, she worked at the Department of Eye Diseases. Elena Viktorovna completed her studies at the Medical Institute in 1948. Then, Elena Viktorinovna became seriously interested in science. She began to engage in various scientific research related to the detection and subsequent treatment of trachoma.Then she managed to become an assistant at the Department of Eye Diseases, all at the same Medical Institute in Voronezh. In the same year she defended her doctoral dissertation. After that, Elena Viktorinovna began to work with electron microscopy of the retina. She did plastic surgery of the appendages of the eyes. For her successful work, she received a diploma and gratitude from the Ministry of Health, as well as an honorary badge of health. Until 1981, she worked at the Department of Ophthalmology, and until 1989 - as a doctor at the City Clinical Hospital No. 17. - In the State Clinical Hospital No. 17, she worked as an ophthalmologist consultant, and until 1996 - as an ophthalmologist consultant at the Tyazheks medical Center.

The youngest daughter of Viktor Ivanovich is Olga Viktorinovna, associate professor of the Department of Traumatology and Orthopedics, and now continues to work successfully in the clinic.

Previously, there was an unspoken law in Russian families: the son must learn the craft that his father was engaged in. This is how dynasties were formed. The family continuity of professions, such as that of the Beavers, is admirable. The well-known proverb "Doctors do not become doctors, they are born" very accurately defines the descendants of the Bekhterev dynasty, who followed in the footsteps of the famous founder of the dynasty Viktor Ivanovich Bobrov [3]. After all, there are many doctors, researchers and medical figures among their descendants. Five medical workers of this dynasty contributed to the health care of the Kostroma region. In particular, the first generation of Bobrovs, Viktor Ivanovich.">

Thus, the Beaver dynasty has five generations of physicians. The Beaver Dynasty has been treating people for more than a hundred years [3].
