Abstract

We seek to consider and understand the events of the Crimean campaign of 1854–1855 from the point of view of a direct participant, M.I. Pirogov based on his Sevastopol epistolary. "Serving the truth and the motherland", defined by Pirogov as his own life credo, he had the opportunity to continue during the Eastern War as the chief surgeon of Sevastopol. The academician of medicine left high positions in the capital, family comfort in order to serve military field surgery with his own professionalism. During the war, he did not want to silence the existing disorder and disorganization of the Russian military leadership, which made hostages of the least protected - the wounded and sick. The sincere humanism of the chief surgeon of Sevastopol had an everyday dimension, based on unwavering concern for the wounded. It was he who supported the innovative experiment - the admission of women in the status of sisters of mercy in military field hospitals to care for the wounded and sick.
