Abstract
The article presents a brief history of the emergence and development of Radiation Medicine. This branch of medicine, being at the junction of medicine, physics and chemistry, goes back to the days when the major scientific discoveries were made. Targeted Radionuclide Therapy, known as ‘Magic Bullet’, has been intensively developed. The list of β-emitting radionuclides used for the treatment of various diseases is expanding. New α-emitting radionuclides have also been involved in the therapy. Russian medicine, albeit with a delay, is following the same path. Targeted radionuclide therapy and the drugs used for it are becoming more and more relevant.
