Protocol of the solemn connected appointment of the Society of Doctors, the Society of Naturalists and the Society of Neuropathologists and Psychiatrists, who are at the Imperial Kazan University on November 13, 1910 in memory of the birthday of N.I. Pirogov
The meeting was opened with the following words of the chairman of the Society of Doctors, Professor F. Ya. Chistovich:Our homeland is in the deep mountains. Lev Tolstoy died. Silence forever the voice of the greatest artist and thinker, the voice with which we have become akin to childhood, awakening our mind and conscience. I dont appreciate his merits. His holy image will remain forever in our hearts. I will say one thing: Russia was forgiven a lot, it will be forgiven even more for the fact that Lev Tolstoy appeared, lived and thought among us.
