Despite the fact that it is the first experience, it was very successful, and Bugajsky's book serves as the best proof that Soviet psychiatry is capable of independent creativity, leading to the reconstruction of psychiatry in the USSR and to the creation of a new Marxist-grounded psychiatry.</p>Kazan Medical archiveКазанский медицинский архив
