Abstract
This article commemorates the 155th anniversary of the birth of G.M. Iosifov, head of the Department of Human Normal Anatomy at the Faculty of Medicine of Voronezh State University, which was reorganized in 1930 into the Voronezh State Medical Institute. Professor G.M. Iosifov was a prominent anatomist and founder of both the Voronezh and Russian school of lymphology. However, very little is known about his Voronezh period. This article presents for the first time the results of a study of documents from the State Archive of Voronezh Region (SAVO) and the State Archive of the Russian Federation (SARF) pertaining to the Voronezh period of Hordey Maximovich Iosifov’s life and work. It features materials on the scientific, educational, and public activities of this talented scientist and educator, along with insights into the historical circumstances of his life and career.
