Nikolai Alexandrovich Lampsakov
About museum
Nikolai Alexandrovich Lampsakov was a physician and a Hero of Labor. He was born in the village of Kotlovan, Vyshnevolotsky Uyezd, Tver Governorate (now the Udomelsky Urban District of Tver Oblast). In his youth he participated in the student movement and was expelled from the university for one year for taking part in a strike.
In 1903 Lampsakov graduated with honors from the Medical Faculty of the Imperial Tomsk University. After graduation he led the construction of the first zemstvo hospital in the village of Novo-Kuskovo in Prichulymye. During World War I he served as a regimental doctor in Omsk, and after returning to Novo-Kuskovo he worked at the district hospital. During the Civil War he was one of the civilian leaders of Novo-Kuskovo and treated the wounded on both the White and Red sides.
Lampsakov was a highly qualified physician: an excellent diagnostician, an experienced surgeon, and an expert in obstetric pathology. He initiated medical screening of the Prichulymye population, collecting extensive data on tuberculosis, syphilis, trachoma, and malaria. In 1925 he was a delegate to doctors' congresses in Tomsk and Moscow, and in 1927 a delegate to the All-Russian Congress of Soviets. For his merits he was awarded the title Hero of Labor. On June 12, 1937, Lampsakov was arrested on charges of participating in a counter-revolutionary organization and sentenced to 10 years in labor camps. Nikolai Alexandrovich Lampsakov died on December 19, 1942. He was posthumously rehabilitated in 1956.
