Uglovy. The Family of Doctors. The Age of Goodness and Love

Academician Fyodor Grigoryevich Uglov is one of the greatest doctors of the 20th century. Having lived for 103 years and made a significant contribution to the development of domestic surgery, he is also remembered as a writer and public figure.... The memoirs of his widow, Emilia Viktorovna Uglova, are dedicated to these and many other aspects of his work and life.
The memoirs are filled with warmth and love. In them, the great surgeon appears as an ordinary person, someone whom one wants to emulate in their own life: he loves and protects his family and friends, engages in his favorite work, and does not forget about self-development and, as we would say now, hobbies. A special place in the book is occupied by the fateful meeting of Fyodor Grigoryevich and Emilia Viktorovna and the story of the birth of their love. The trust and mutual understanding that flourished between them during their acquaintance became the force that supported them through all life's difficulties.
These memories are not just a story of love that has survived through the decades. A significant portion of them covers the history of Emilia Viktorovna's family and describes her life before Fyodor Grigoryevich entered it. The narrative intertwines the fates of ordinary Russian people who experienced Stalin's repressions, passed through the Great Patriotic War, and worked for the good of their homeland under the most severe conditions. This book is a kind of historical document, written in the form of memoirs, reminding modern people of what is truly important.
