Nikolai Vasilyevich Sklifosovsky (

Dubasari, which is now in Transnistria
.

Sklifosovsky was a professor of medicine in

Kiev, and Moscow. He was a founder of the «Clinical Town» at Devichye Pole
.

In 1870, on the recommendation of Pirogov, another prominent Russian surgeon, Sklifosovsky was invited to head the department of surgery at Kyiv University. However, he did not stay in Kyiv for long: soon he went to war again, this time to the theater of the Franco-Prussian war.

About 10,000 wounded passed through Sklifosovskyi. The doctors and nurses, among whom was the surgeon's wife Sofya Oleksandrivna, supported Nikolai Vasylievich's strength by occasionally pouring a few sips of wine into his mouth between separate operations.[2]
