On the history of the Military Medical Academy: musical pages

The article is devoted to the musical culture within the Imperial Military Medical (Medico - Surgical) Academy walls at the turn of the 19th - 20th centuries. The emergence of such a culture was a continuation of amateur home music - making in tsarist Russia. Among the teachers and graduates of the Academy, in whose lives music played an important role, it is necessary to name not only such bright and famous names as chemist A.P.Borodin, therapist S.P.Botkin, surgeon V.A.Oppel, parasitologist E.N.Pavlovsky, but also less famous, for example, the military doctor V.V.Okunev - a representative of the undeservedly forgotten St. Petersburg dynasty of doctors Okunev.
