period. In addition, 8 papers were concerned with clinic and
pathogenesis of syphilis, 7 were devoted to scientific-organs'
zational questions, 6 to treatment of skin diseases, L. to skin
tube-rculosis, and so forth.
Important deficiencies of the Society' 5 work were; lack
of criticism and self-criticism, insufficient work on ideological
education of the members, lack of sufficient criticism of the
works of foreign authors
the latter verges on servility and
kowtowing. Upon our return from America we published together
with Professor Rakhmanov, an article which was printed in four
issues of our journal. This, of course, should not have been done.
We took the position of lauding American methods of medical treat-
ment, and American scientists. The article lacked adequate en-.
ticism and failed to reveal the venality of the entire American
bourgeois science. I consider the publication of such an article
in our journal a grievous error. Reports of the Society were
published in the periodical Ve tnik Venexolo i Derinatolvg, in
a desultory raanner.
Following the report of the treasurer, A. A. Alyavdin, and
the account of the Auditing Committee of Professor M. P. Dem'yanovich,
the following participated in the debates;
Members of the Society, those belonging to the Party as well
as those who do not, must come forward and point out the achieve-

The Board of Directors has not presented any reports on scientific
practices. We have ma rj methods of treating syphilis, but no uni"
fled method. The Board of Directors has not found it possible to
present such a report. Many institutes are working on studies of
penicillin, but we have had only occasional communications on
penicillin therapy, and the decision of the Board of Directors in
this matter has remained unfulfilled. Some cases demonstrated were
of considerable. interest, but some of these patients had not been
sufficiently examined, although the quality of clinical demonstra-
tions is of substantial importance in training of personnel. Thus
professor M. I. Per presented a patient, who developed symptoms of
general paresis b months' after the initial syphilis infection.
Only in the course of discussion was it determined that the patient
had previously been treated for syphilis. The Board of Directors
va.
was careless in the selection of clinical cases generally, had not
investigated this case, and failed to report it to the Society.
Too many foreign authors have been cited, and some comrades have an
excessive admiration for foreign authorities to the negle ct of those
of our country. The Board of Directors has not discussed the acti-
vities of editors of the Journal, although such a discussion would
have been most useful. We were lacking sufficient persistence;
valuable suggestions were made, but they were opposed by the former
leader of the Section for Prevention of ;fin Diseases, Docent E. M.
G0ltdzi1Qber. 1 may mention some errors that x have committed in
the report on the visit abroad, published in periodicals during
19117. in the first issue the introductory part contained a list of
more than 100 American authors: these were dealt with in an

uncritical mamler. Essentially, Professor Mashkilleyson and
myself assumed a position of false objectivism. We failed to
uncover discrimination against negro population, presented facts
from a photographer's standpoint, did not demonstrate the
superiority of our agencies.
The Moscow ~er;natological Society possesses an important
history, great traditions. By indicating the course for elimi-
nation of defects, we will increase the quality of its work.
It has been correctly indicated that inadequate attention
has been given to problems of syphilis treatment and that no
effective system has been developed. The former leader of the
Section' Docent E. M. Gol' dzil' berg impeded effectiveness of work
4h
of the Society and met practically no opposition, although some
members of the Society were not connected with him officially.
The Society must call this to the attention of the Ministry of
Health. The Society Board of Directors must maintain connections
with the drug industry.
criticism is a good thing, but criticism for, the sake of
criticism doss no good to the causes Docent G. Kb. Khachatur'yan
has reproved the workers of the Institute of Skin Tuberculosis for
reaching hasty conclusions on the effects of vitamin D2. The
Institute has been in operation for about one and a half years,

 Declassified in Part - Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/05/15 : CIA-RDP82-00039R000200020015-2
has 25O patients under observation, and beneficial effects of
vitamin D2 have been substantiated by a nwnber of professors.
The work is most important and the method is an effective one.
At the time when the paper was presented x made the assertion
that it constitutes a revolution in the treatment of lupus, and
now l do not retract the viewpoint T had expressed.
5. Dactar F. L. Aleskovska
Closer collaboration must be established between the
Scientific Society and the health department components. First
of all it is necessary to stamp out venereal disease, and the
entire medical organization must participate in this task. Atten-
tion must be called to errors of diagnosis. Our papers on early
diagnosis of syphilis must be presented at the meetings of other
Societies. The help of, the public is needed in sanitation, education
work. An excessive nun;ber of systems, of treatment methods, has
a detrimental effect on the cure of patients.
Candidate of Medical Sciences S. E. Sladkovich
In the field of syphilology treatment has many systems4, but
that of dermatology has many terms: terminology needs simpli-
fication -? there are more terms than there are diseases. The
new Board of Directors of the Society should be directed to
develop a terminology and a classification of skin diseases. Treat
ment of tuberculosis with vitamin D2 is a step forward; to criticize
it as it has been criticized here is wijustified. One should

 Declassified in Part-Sanitized Copy Approved for Release 2012/05/15 : CIA-RDP82-00039R000200020015-2
remember Polotebnev and V. V. Ivanov, who have achieved much that
is useful.
7. Professor M. A. -4
In the course of discussions, much has been brought out
which is most valuaule. This must be. taken into consideration by
the Board of Directors. The Society Board of Directors did not
work according to a plan; things were put up for discussion which
were in the program of the Board. The meinber ship of the Society
consists principally of practicing physicians, and in discussions
of scientific practice methods practicing physicians take little
part. Questions on treatment with penicillin have not been dis-
cussed since l9)4.. The Society must take an active part in the
competition for providing a textbook of dermatology~venereology.
8. Professor S. M. 1 n shevski
III
In the extensive report presented here, no consideration
has been given to health problems concerned with decreasing the
number of new cases of venereal diseases. Work must be intensified
toward decreasing the number of cases, and conditions must be
attained such that new cases of syphilis will be recorded in unit
numbers.

vitamin D2 I cannot agree with the reproof that the Institute of
