Vasilenko, the surgical team of the USSR Institute of Surgery and the liver department of the Institute of Therapy of the Academy of Medical Sciences. The building for him was decided to be built at the address: Pogodinskaya Street, house No. 5. Upon completion of the construction, all necessary subdivision structures were formed and all staff rates were occupied. In addition, at the same time the Society of Gastroenterologists of the USSR was organized. Two or three years after the events described, the institute was able to take the leading position in the country. In 1973, the Government decided to reorient the Institute of Gastroenterology, and on its basis in the same year, the Central Research Institute of Gastroenterology, later placed on the Entuziastov Highway, was established.
