In 2021, BSU celebrates its 100th anniversary, the flagship of the country's higher education, which is the source of medical education in Belarus. One of the founders of the Faculty of Medicine of the Belarusian State University and the Belarusian State Medical Institute was M. B. Krol - Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the BSSR, Corresponding Member of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR, Honored Scientist of the BSSR, Doctor of Medical Sciences, Professor. In the memory of posterity, he remained not only as a scientist, clinician, but above all as a teacher, an effective manager of medical education. M. B. Krol is a complex and controversial figure in the national healthcare, whose years of vigorous activity coincided with a tragic and turning point in the history of the state. M. B. Krol was educated in the Russian Empire, he knew the organization of the scientific and medical process abroad. It was difficult for the scientist to accept the realities of the transitional revolutionary period, when established social values are changing. M. B. Krol was effectively integrated into the scientific and practical health care system of the USSR and left behind a significant legacy: the Belarusian State Medical Institute, the Department of Nervous Diseases. Scientific data, methods of treatment are undergoing changes and are subject to progress, but as a teacher and organizer of medical education, M. B. Krol looked far ahead and admired the understanding of the problems and the foresight of the situation, identified by M. B. Croll 100 years ago, which are still relevant and have not been fully resolved.

The article provides an overview of the books published in the Republic of Belarus for the 100th anniversary of the Belarusian State University. Four books prepared in the form of essays by faculty members of several departments (history, international relations, mechanics and mathematics) and the Fundamental Library. The greatest attention is paid to two such works. Peer-reviewed jubilee editions give a comprehensive idea of the history of the university, its structure in different years, the current state, and faculty potential. It has been established that the editions are based on rich source material. In this aspect, the work titled Unknown V.I. Picheta is especially significant, as it acquaints the reader with a previously unpublished book Review of the Activities of the Fist Western Committee by the first rector of the Belarusian State University, an outstanding historian, academician of the USSR Academy of Sciences and the BSSR Academy of Sciences V.I. Picheta. The article point out that this book, supplemented with several dozen letters from Picheta’s correspondence with twenty colleagues, students (mainly from the time of the book’s composition), will arouse great interest in the scientific community of Belarus, Russia, and other countries. The review briefly analyzes the structure and content of the book, published in 2019, for the 130th anniversary of the university philosopher, vice-rector and dean S.Z. Katzenbogen. It is concluded that all publications do not only celebrate the anniversary of the first university in Belarus but also, taking into account their scientific component, contribute to the deepening of the study of the history of the development of Belarusian science and culture of the 20th and early 21st centuries.

Objective. To study the process of formation of the Medical Faculty of Belarusian State University in the early 1920s.Materials and methods. Archival, periodical and narrative sources processed by general scientific and special historical research methods.Results. The emergency of a higher medical education in Belarus became possible only after the solid establishment of Soviet power in its territory. Political and ideological components played a significant role in the processes of the selection of future doctors and their education, but at the same time, democratic elements of self-government were implemented along with the formation of the Medical Faculty.Conclusion. Despite the successful experience of organizing the Medical Faculty of Belarusian State University, a small number of graduates in the 1920s and the general lack of doctors in the BSSR predetermined the need for its reorganization into an self-administered academic institution– Minsk Medical Institute.

The article is devoted to the study of the scientific and pedagogical activities of the famous Slavist A. N. Yasinsky in the last – Moscow-Minsk – period of his life based on the materials of the Belarusian archives. Revolutionary events of 1917–1921 forced him, like many other representatives of the capital’s intelligentsia, to look for work in new provincial universities. Since 1922 he has been teaching at the Belarusian State University, becoming one of the founders of Belarusian Medieval and Slavic studies. In 1928 he was elected an academician of the newly created Belarusian Academy of Sciences, where he continued his studies of both the Czech Middle Ages and the history of Belarus in the Middle Ages. However, external circumstances did not allow A. N. Yasinsky to create his own scientific school in Belarus, and his research of the 1920’s remained little known to specialists.

One of the motives behind the establishment of the Women's Medical Institute (WMI) in 1897 was the need to radically improve the delivery of obstetric and gynecological care to the population. At that time, qualified medical aid could only be provided by a male doctor, which severely limited the demand for it by women, who were more willing to use the services of midwives and obstetricians-practitioners. The training of female physicians, specialists in obstetrics and gynecology, was the dictate of the times. In the "Regulations" on the establishment of the Institute, its main objective was formulated: "to provide women with a medical education, mainly adapted to the treatment of women's and children's diseases and obstetric activities.

Letters from Władysław Taczanowski to Alexander Strauch in the Russian Academy of Sciences Collections. An Interesting Contribution to the History of Zoology in the Nineteenth Century The article presents the Polish translation and analysis of the letters from Władysław Taczanowski (1819–1890) to Aleksander Strauch (1832–1893). The correspondence is stored in the Archive of the Russian Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg and comprises 29 letters written between 1870 and 1889. The main theme of these letters is specimens of reptiles and amphibians sent to Warsaw by Polish naturalists, such as Benedykt Dybowski from Siberia, Konstanty Jelski from French Guiana and Peru, Jan Kalinowski from Korea, as well as specimens brought by Taczanowski from Algeria. Strauch determined the species and used them in his publications. This correspondence is also a valuable testimony of the exchange of specimens between the Warsaw Zoological Cabinet and the Zoological Museum of the Imperial Academy of Sciences in St. Petersburg. In return for herpetological specimens, the Warsaw collection received numerous fish specimens from the Russian Empire and a collection of birds from Mikołaj Przewalski’s expedition to Central Asia. The content of the letters allows a better understanding of the functioning of natural history museography but also the organization of shipments, preparation, determination, and exchange of specimens. They are a valuable document of the history of nineteenth-century scientific museography.
