Turbine Surgeon Biography

Date of birth: February 20 place of birth: Eagle despite the fact that my great -grandfather Dr. Vladimir Ivanovich Turbin died 42 years ago, residents of the city of Orel still remember him. Those who at least once met him and very young people who know about him from the stories of grandparents at least once met him. The latter usually say: “The same turbines” or “legendary turbines”.

Vladimir Ivanovich was born on February 20 in Orel in a family of hereditary nobles and priests. He studied at the first male gymnasium. In the year he entered the Kharkov Medical Institute, after which he worked as a rural doctor in the Saltyki of the Kromsky district, and then returned to the eagle, where he was admitted to an infectious hospital. From a year to the very pension, the life of Dr.

Turbin was associated with an infectious diseases hospital. There are only one entry in his work book stored in the reserves of the Oryol Museum of Local Lore. Even before the war, Vladimir Ivanovich became known before the war, and respect in the city as a talented doctor. About thirty thousand inhabitants and thousands of wounded soldiers and officers remained in Orel.

The Germans occupied the best buildings of the city, including a military hospital on the corner of Komsomolskaya and Krasin. All the wounded were thrown into the street, legless, armless, in bloodied bandages. On the first day of the occupation, the Germans did not engage in documents, or checks, or executions. The night came, a terrible night from the third to the fourth of October.

Doctors, paramedics, nurses of the hospital did not leave their own. A crazy and only right decision was made to transfer them to the infectious department of the regional hospital, which was headed by Vladimir Ivanovich Turbin. In the morning of the next day, the whole yard was full of moaning and dying Russian soldiers and officers. The German came in uniform and said to the turbine: “These are our prisoners of war.

Tomorrow you must transfer them to the prisoner of war collection point. If you do not, in an hour, all doctors will be shot. ” The collection point was Central, prison, one of the worst places of the eagle. What would you do on the site of Vladimir Ivanovich Turbin, on whom such a burden fell? Dr. Turbin became the first and main organizer of medical assistance to Soviet prisoners of war and civilians in occupied Orel.

On these difficult days, Vladimir Ivanovich not only did a truly titanic work of the doctor, but he did a lot in order to save as many of our soldiers as possible from German captivity. Doctors and nurses urgently corresponded the history of diseases so that they correspond to the profile of the department, and “make” the wounded civilians. A few days later, all the history of the disease was in order, the Germans respectfully related to documents.

Everyone was distributed through the wards, according to the corridors, in utility rooms, everyone found a place. At the entrance to the department hung a sign: Infetionabteilung infectious department. On the fence, along the entire perimeter, the infectious “town” encircling, wrote in German: “Tifus”, “diphtheria”, “infectious”. The Nazis were very afraid of infectious diseases and shied away from the frightening inscriptions.

In fact, in the infectious department, under the very nose of the Nazis, an underground hospital acted. This medical institution for the entire period of occupation existed under the name "Russian Hospital". The soldiers cured from the wounds were recorded dead and transported beyond the front line. Winter gg. It was hungry and cold, it was also necessary to avoid the spread of typhoid and other infectious diseases in conditions of extremely crowded chambers.

The only infectious disease doctor V. Turbin did not leave the hospital for days. By December, Tif was defeated, and the work to save our prisoners of war continued. If Gestapo found out that turbines are hiding prisoners of war, Jews and those who are hiding against theft to Germany, he would have been shot immediately with the entire staff of the Russian hospital. The past month and a half before the liberation of the city, when dozens of prisoners of war who fled from the camp, as well as many hiding local residents, did not leave the territory of the infectious “town” have accumulated in the department.

Tired, he stood on his feet for days, performing not only the duties of a doctor, but also the duty of a Soviet patriotic citizen. Apart from civilians, the “Russian hospital” saved about a thousand fighters and commanders of the Soviet Army. The work of doctors V. Turbin, S. Protopopov, V. Smirnov, B. Gusev, L. Tsvetkova and others - highlighted the chief physician of the Soviet Army N.

Burdenko: “This is a won battle! It was possible to stop the case, but Vladimir Ivanovich was removed from the post of head of the department, and a doctor who came from the evacuation was appointed to his place. For a long time, Vladimir Ivanovich worked as an ordinary doctor, behind him, as an enemy of the people, was surveillance. In the beginning of the 10ths, Dr. Turbin began to head the airborne infections.

For many residents of the eagle, he became a moral authority that could not shake the non -neglect of the official authorities, not a sowing in the local press.Particular indignation of the authorities and, as a result, devastated articles and in the Oryol newspapers caused his examination by the relics of Tikhon Zadonsky. The examination of Vladimir Ivanovich showed that the relics are genuine and really imperishable.

This story is now remembered by many of the townspeople. Of course, the media did not favor him. In August, the editorial office of Orlovskaya Pravda received a letter that did not see the light. Turbin wrote: “Since the year, I have been the only doctor in Orel to perform night calls in the rain, in a storm, in a blizzard. They were unusually difficult for me, but not a single child died through my fault.

The employees of the Oryol Pravda, braiding me in the newspaper, did not want to see my real person, but I may have saved their children and their children. "In e, e, e, the popular practical doctor Vladimir Turbin grew every year. They turned to him from the villages and villages of the Oryol region. They turned not only with infectious diseases, he was treated for all diseases. Never to anyone.

Vladimir Ivanovich was a big soul and a doctor with a capital letter. The cemetery, in the coffin, secretly put monastic robes, I think that many admirers of Dr. Turbin came, if not about turning the house where he lived in his house-museum, then at least about the installation of a memorial plaque. However, while it is not even a name on the memorial plaque hanging in front of the entrance to the regional hospital.

In the year, one of the streets in the Zavodskoy district of the city of Orel, the Luke microdistrict was named after my great -grandfather - Dr. Turbin. During the Second World War, when the Nazis destroyed millions of Jews, some of them managed to avoid death. They were saved thanks to the heroism and selflessness of people such as Dr. Turbin, who, with a huge risk for his own life, hid them in the underground hospital, made them fake documents, helped to flee from the occupied eagle to partisan detachments.

Yakov Yakovlevich Etinger in his article “In Israel, they honor the feat of the“ righteous of the peoples of the world ”:“ ... among those who saved the Jews, the mother of the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian government Valentina Matvienko, a turbine doctor, who created an underground hospital during the occupation of the eagle, in which many Jews found salvation.

Thanks to Dr. Turbin, both Jews-doctors and nurses who worked with him survived ... ”The memory of this outstanding person lives among the Orlovites and indulges from mouth to mouth. Like my relatives, I believe that the name of Dr. Turbin is the personification of fidelity to the chosen profession and medical duty.
