From the memoirs of V. A. Manassein

Abstract

My memories date back to 1884, when I lived in St. Petersburg and worked (preparing a thesis) in the laboratory of prof. NP Ivanovsky at the Military Medical Academy. Bykov was then the head of the Academy, prof. N.P. Dobroslavin. The central figures in the professorship of the Academy were S. P. Botkin, V. L. Gruber, V. V. Pashutin, K. F. Slavyansky and V. A. Manassein.
