Abstract
Russian medicine had its zenith at the beginning of the 20th
century when two Russian scientists were awarded the Nobel Prize;
Ivan Pavlov (1904) for his work on the physiology of digestion, and
Ilya Metchnikoff (1908) for his work on phagocytosis. In the late
19th century, Professor Sergey Botkin was a physician who served
the Czar’s family and oversaw their various ailments. Having
replaced K.K. Gaartman, a German physician who was deemed
insufficiently versed in internal diseases, Professor Botkin served
as the royal physician to the Empress Maria Alexandrovna from
1870 to 1889 [1].
