They know good, they remember good, good warms our hearts, but not everyone can do good deeds. It is impossible to say unequivocally who the kindest person in the world is. This article lists several famous people who through their actions helped those in need and did not ask for anything in return. They are the kindest people in the world, they should be looked up to and set as an example for children, and, quite possibly, there will be more such people in the future.
There is an expression “kind as Mother Teresa”, and these words speak for themselves. This woman helped the poor and sick, organized the monastic congregation “Missionary Sisters of Love”, was awarded the Nobel Prize in the category “For active help to a suffering person,” but she did not care about the awards.
On August 26, 1910, baby Agnes Gonxhe Bajaxhiu was born. Her parents attended the Catholic Church and helped the poor. Even after her father’s death in 1919, the girl’s mother was not afraid and took six orphans into the family. It is not surprising that in such an atmosphere where harmony and kindness reign, a beautiful girl grew up, who later became Mother Teresa. From childhood, the girl knew her calling. Already at the age of 12, she dreamed of monastic service, heard about poor children in India and wanted to help them.
Mother Teresa did everything out of love for people and tried to help everyone
At the age of 18, Agnes went to live in Ireland, here her dream of becoming a nun came true, the girl was accepted into their ranks by the Irish Sisters of Loreto, and after 2 years she was tonsured a nun under the name Teresa. The girl chose the name herself, inspired by the actions of a merciful Carmelite nun from Lisieux. In the direction of the order, Nun Teresa went to Calcutta. There was a girls' school called St. Mary's in the town, and it began teaching children to read and write. In 1946, the nun received official permission to help all the needy, poor and disadvantaged of Calcutta, and within 2 years she organized the “Missionary Sisters of Love” community. The monastic congregation deployed active work, they were engaged in the creation of new shelters and hospitals for the seriously ill, as well as schools for poor people. In each such institution they provided help to all those in need; here it did not matter what nationality or religion the person asking was.
Since 1965, the monastic congregation has been helping not only in India, but also abroad. Today this huge organization is known all over the world. There are 400 of its branches in 111 countries, and more than 700 houses of mercy in 120 countries. The main mission of the congregation is to help those in need, especially in disadvantaged areas or those affected by natural disasters. Mother Teresa actively helped until last days of your life. The nun died on September 5, 1997 in Kolkata.
At the time of her death, the nun was 87 years old; she left a huge mark on history and the hearts of many people.
Diana Francis Spencer possessed a certain magic since childhood, she gave joy and warmth, protected the weak, but at the same time she was modest and shy. Diana graduated from a private school with an average grade; she was always shy to answer in front of the class and timid at the blackboard, but this did not stop her from finding a job. The girl got a job as a teacher's assistant in kindergarten"Young England" and soon met Prince Charles of Wales. It was a fairy tale! Charles fell in love with a modest beauty with huge eyes and soon won her heart. After the wedding, Diana became a real princess, but the happiness was short-lived. After the birth of his sons William and Harry, Prince Charles began to cheat on his wife, and their marriage soon fell apart. It was during this period that Diana launched active charitable activities.
Lady Di headed more than 90 charitable foundations, helping the abandoned and disadvantaged. Her attention never ignored either children or old people who needed her help. Just by appearing, she instilled hope in people.
Diana knew how to give warmth with just a smile
The Queen of Hearts, as Lady Di was dubbed, donated huge sums to treat AIDS patients and develop drugs against this terrible disease. Thanks to her activities, numerous hospitals and hospices were built. Cooperation with the International Federation of the Red Cross saved the lives of many seemingly hopelessly ill people.
Princess Diana was friends with Mother Teresa. People called their first meeting "The Meeting of Angels." They teamed up and led several charitable projects together.
Shortly before her death, Princess Diana arrived in Angola on a peacekeeping mission, and what she saw there was horrifying. Because of civil war lands where they lived ordinary people, were stuffed with anti-personnel mines. Because of this, many children and old people were left crippled or even died. The country's hospitals were full, there were no beds, people were lying on bare floors.
Lady Di walked through a minefield in protest, and then made a film about anti-personnel mines. She organized a campaign against their use. Diplomats and ministers from most countries around the world supported this idea. The international movement to end the use of anti-personnel mines received Nobel Prize, but, unfortunately, the queen of hearts Diana did not see this.
At the ceremony in honor of the award, the audience honored the good Lady Di with a minute of silence
An old man, Dobri Doborev, or, as the children call him, grandfather Dobri, lives in Bulgaria. He lives 25 km from the city of Sofia and walks this distance every day to beg. The old man is dressed in not new, but clean homespun clothes, and has homemade leather shoes on his feet. So what is so kind and good about this person, for which he was included in the list of the most good people?
For decades, Dobri Dobrev has been giving everything he earns on the street to orphanages that are unable to pay their bills, and he himself lives solely on his pension. This old man back in the years of the Great Patriotic War I lost my hearing, but didn’t even think about spending the money collected on my treatment. This is probably why they call him “The Saint of Bailovo”.
Even the name Dobri Dobrev speaks of the kindness of this man
In our seemingly cruel world there are still many kind people, it is impossible to list them all. This article talks about only three people who, through their actions, helped more than one person in need. These are the people who give good, and there are many of them! It is quite possible that one of them lives nearby. You just have to look around, and maybe even become one of them. Give kindness to people, and it will definitely come back to you!
Guys, we put our soul into the site. Thank you for that

Simple and amazing stories of real heroes. Everyone should know their names.
History knows huge amount people who performed outstanding deeds and discoveries, but went unnoticed.
website believes that many of them deserve fame and wide recognition. This article collects the stories of seven such heroes - they are all different, but each of them made life on planet Earth a little - or even a lot - better and happier.
Story from Konstantin Paustovsky
“It was the spring of 1912, before the exams, a meeting was organized in the garden. All the high school students in our class were called to it, except the Jews. The Jews were not supposed to know anything about this meeting.
At the meeting, it was decided that the best students from Russians and Poles should get a B in the exams in at least one subject, so as not to receive a gold medal. We decided to give all the gold medals to the Jews. Without these medals they were not accepted into the university.
We swore to keep this decision secret. To the credit of our class, we did not let it slip either then or later, when we were already university students. Now I am breaking this oath, because almost none of my comrades from the gymnasium are alive. Most of them died during the great wars my generation experienced. Only a few people survived."
A world without nuclear war
September 26, 1983 Lieutenant Colonel Stanislav Petrov was on duty at Serpukhov-15, a secret bunker near Moscow, and was busy monitoring the satellite system Soviet Union. Shortly after midnight, one of the satellites signaled to Moscow that the United States was launching 5 ballistic missiles at Russia. All responsibility at this moment fell on the forty-four-year-old lieutenant colonel: he needed to make a decision on how to respond to this signal.
The alarm came at a difficult time, relations between the USSR and America were strained, but Petrov decided that it was false and refused to take any retaliatory measures. Thus, he prevented a possible nuclear disaster - the signal actually turned out to be false.
Vasily Arkhipov, an officer in the Russian Navy, also once made a decision that saved the world. During the Cuban Missile Crisis, he prevented the launch of a nuclear torpedo. The Soviet submarine B-59 was surrounded near Cuba by eleven American destroyers and the aircraft carrier Randolph. Despite the fact that this took place in international waters, the Americans used depth charges against the boat to force it to rise to the surface.
The submarine commander, Valentin Savitsky, prepared to launch a retaliatory atomic torpedo. However, the senior officer on board Arkhipov showed restraint, paid attention to the signals from the American ships and stopped Savitsky. The signal “Stop the provocation” was sent from the boat, after which the American military forces were withdrawn and the situation was somewhat defused.
The Man with the Golden Arm
At thirteen, Australian James Harrison underwent major breast surgery and urgently needed about 13 liters of donor blood. After the operation, he was in the hospital for three months. Realizing that donated blood saved his life, he made a promise to start donating blood as soon as he turned 18 years old.
As soon as Harrison reached the age required to donate blood, he immediately went to the Red Cross blood donation center. It was there that it turned out that his blood was unique in its own way, since its plasma contained special antibodies, thanks to which it was possible to prevent Rh conflict between a pregnant mother and her fetus. Without these antibodies, Rh conflict leads to a minimum of anemia and jaundice of the child, and a maximum of stillbirth.
When James was told what exactly was found in his blood, he asked only one question. He asked how often you can donate blood.
Since then, every three weeks, James Harrison comes to a medical center near his home and donates exactly 400 milliliters of blood. To date, he has already donated approximately 377 liters of blood.
Over the 56 years since his first donation, he has donated blood and its components almost 1,000 times and saved about 2,000,000 children and their young mothers.
Polish Schindler
Eugene Lazowski was a Polish doctor who saved thousands of Jews during the Holocaust. Thanks to the discovery of his friend, Dr. Stanislav Matulewicz, Lazowski simulated an outbreak of typhus, a dangerous infectious disease. Matulevich discovered that a healthy person could be inoculated with certain bacteria, and then the test results for typhus would be positive, and the person himself would not experience any manifestations of the disease.
The Germans were afraid of typhus because it was highly contagious. At a time when Jews infected with typhus were routinely executed, Lazowski vaccinated the non-Jewish population in the neighborhoods surrounding the ghetto, near the town of Rozwadov. He knew that the Germans would be forced to refuse to approach the Jewish settlements, and they ended up simply quarantining the area. This saved approximately 8,000 Polish Jews from certain death in concentration camps.
The scientist who saved millions of lives
American biologist Maurice Ralph Hilleman created 36 vaccines during his life - more than any other scientist in the world. Of the fourteen vaccines that are now used everywhere, he invented 8, including measles, meningitis, chickenpox, hepatitis A and B.
In addition, Hilleman was the first person to determine how the influenza virus mutates. Almost single-handedly, he worked to create a vaccine that prevented the 1957 Asian flu outbreak from becoming a repeat of the 1918 Spanish pandemic, which killed 20 million people worldwide.
Immortal Cell Donor
African American Henrietta Lacks died of cancer in 1951 at the age of thirty-one. However, she became the donor of cellular material that allowed Dr. George Otto Gay to create history's first immortal line of human cells, known as the HeLa line. “Immortality” meant that these cells did not die after several divisions, which means they could be used for many medical experiments and research.
In 1954, a strain of HeLa cells was used by Jonas Sock to develop a vaccine against polio. In 1955, HeLa became the first human cells to be successfully cloned. The demand for these cells grew rapidly. They were put into mass production and sent to scientists around the world to study cancer, AIDS, the effects of radiation and other diseases. Scientists are now growing about 20 tons of Henrietta cells, and there are almost 11,000 patents related to them.
Inventor of the seat belt
July 10, 1962 Volvo Corporation employee Nils Bohlin Patented his invention - a three-point seat belt. It was the same system that is still used in cars today: it took Bohlin just under a year to create it, and it was first introduced on Volvo cars in 1959.
The corporation made the seat belt design free to other automakers, and it soon became a worldwide standard. According to recent studies, Bolin's invention saved about a million lives during its existence.
Some people, despite their wealth and position, remember that they are no better than others and try to be modest, take care of their neighbors and do good deeds in imitation of the Lord.
We would like to tell you about ten such people - worthy examples for each of us, especially for many powerful Russians.
The actions of these people amaze and inspire respect. Having achieved a lot in life, they did not become slaves to their wealth and position and treat other people with gratitude:
1. Bishop Longinus (Heat)
This hierarch (photo in the title) proved with his life that the image of the bishop circulated in the media as a arrogant fat man in an expensive car, neglecting the flock entrusted to him by God, does not correspond to the truth.
While still a priest, the bishop rebuilt the Holy Ascension Monastery in the Chernivtsi region of Ukraine and founded a church boarding school for more than 1,000 orphans and disabled children, more than 400 of whom he adopted.
In addition to his pastoral responsibilities for the revival of Orthodoxy in Ukraine, Bishop Longin has been involved in the upbringing of children taken into his care for many years.
IN recent years he also actively opposed the beginning and then the continuation of the civil war unleashed by the Kyiv Nazi regime in the South-East of Ukraine. And this despite regular threats against him from dissenters and neo-Nazis.
His life and work are well described in the film “Outpost,” known to almost all Orthodox Christians in the CIS.
2. Vladislav Tetyukhin
A Ural tycoon who was involved in titanium mining as a co-owner of a large metallurgical company.
At 80, he did not buy a villa in warm countries. Instead, Vladislav Tetyukhin sold all his shares and used the proceeds of 3.3 billion rubles to build a medical center for his fellow countrymen in Nizhny Tagil.
In the future, the billionaire plans to build a hotel, new houses for clinic employees with 350 apartments, a dormitory for students, a transport block and a helipad.
Now Tetyukhin holds the post of general director here and, at 82 years old, comes to work strictly on schedule: by 9:00 am 6 days a week.
3. Swedish Princess Madeleine
The princess of the Swedish royal house does not boast about her position.
At royal receptions, Princess Madeleine appears in $130 dresses bought at Stockholm markets and is not shy about picking up her dog’s poop while walking.
It is worth noting that this behavior is typical of many representatives of the royal houses of Europe and its financial and managerial elite. Wild kitsch is left to the nouveau riche.
4. Brian Bernie
Bernie can be called the British construction oligarch.
Everything was going great for this millionaire until his wife was diagnosed with cancer. Then Bernie became involved in charity work.
He donated a significant part of his fortune to create a whole convoy of medical machines. These machines traveled through small villages in northern England and provided high-tech medical care to patients. Brian Bernie paid the doctors' salaries out of his own pocket.
With God's help, his wife recovered. To celebrate, Brian Bernie sold most of property and donated the money to charity.
Now he lives on a small pension in a small apartment and drives a used car.
5. President of Uruguay
Jose Cordano is the president of Uruguay, but locals call him El Pepe. He donates 9/10ths of his presidential salary to charity, making him the poorest (or most generous) president in the world.
Jose earns 263,000 Uruguayan pesos (400,000 rubles) a month, and leaves only 26,300 pesos (40,000 rubles) for himself.
He lives in a rural farmhouse, without debt and without a bank account. José brings water for the household himself from a well in the yard. The largest purchase of his entire life was a 1987 Volkswagen Beetle.
6. Boris Johnson
Boris is mayor of London. He rides a bicycle to work, is not shy about going without a tie, and freely wears a sports jacket, backpack and bicycle helmet.
The official is one of the main and most consistent supporters of the development of cycling in the UK and advocates healthy image life.
7. Olaf Thon
The Norwegian billionaire lives quite modestly. He is married, but has no children. Therefore, he decided to donate all his wealth, calmly parting with $6,000,000,000: “I have a bike and skis, and I don’t eat much. So I think everything will be fine."
Olaf Thon decided to spend all his money on financing medical research so that it would benefit people, saying: “Anyway, I won’t be able to take it with me.”
Michael Bloomberg once served as mayor of New York (USA).
He is very interesting personality, even if you don't know that he is the 13th richest person in the world.
At the same time, the businessman does not stop riding the subway. And at his workplace he works in an ascetic environment: in an ordinary office furniture traditional monitors, papers, charts, some trinkets and... a jar of peanut butter next to the keyboard.
9. Chuck Feeney
The founder of the famous Duty Free chain of stores, Chuck Feeney, lives very modestly.
Over the past 30 years, he has traveled all over the world, carefully getting rid of his acquired capital of $7.5 billion. Feeney spent his business income on charity.
His charitable foundation, The Atlantic Philanthropies, has invested $6.2 billion in education, science, health care and nursing homes around the world. By 2020, Chuck Feeney wants to spend all his capital on helping those in need.
10. Sergey Brin
Sergey is a legend in the computer business, co-founder and president of technology at Google.
A billionaire and one of the richest people in America, Sergei keeps a fairly modest lifestyle - he lives in a three-room apartment in San Francisco and drives a used Toyota Prius with an environmentally friendly hybrid engine.
His hobby is visiting Katya's Russian Tea Room in San Francisco and recommending borscht, pancakes and dumplings to guests of the establishment.
What is good? For each person, the concept of the word GOOD is different. Having heard this word, one will think about actions, another about help, the third about something else. IN modern world This word is so strongly suppressed by negativity that many schoolchildren do not know how to correctly answer the question: What is good?
Mother Teresa One of the most famous people Who did good and left a huge mark on Earth with her actions and will forever remain in the memory of people is Mother Teresa. Mother Teresa is a name known to people all over the world; it has long become a household name and is associated with mercy, compassion, and love. But how many people know what exactly the famous nun is famous for and why she became the Mother of all the poor, humiliated and helpless?
This modest, fragile woman with a sympathetic heart and hard-working peasant hands always found herself in the hottest spots globe to help people, pray for their well-being and say simple kind words that can support them in difficult times. More than one book has been written about her, more than one film has been made. She called herself a pencil in the hands of God, writing a love letter to the world. She lived a difficult life, went through many trials, but her soul remained open to people to whom she gave her love, care and helped in any way she could. “If you want to make the world a better place, go home and love your family!” These words belong to Mother Teresa.
Brief biography She was born on August 26, 1910 in the capital of Macedonia, Skopje, into an Albanian family. Her real name is Agnes Gonxha Bojaxhiu. She was the youngest of three children of Nicola Bojaxhiu, a wealthy building contractor and merchant. Agnes means “born under the star of the Lamb”, pure and innocent. And indeed, this slightly strange girl was different from her peers. Already at the age of fourteen, she told her mother that she wanted to devote her life to serving God and asked permission to become a nun. When she turned eighteen, Agnes left her native Macedonia forever and settled in the capital of Ireland, Dublin, where she became a novice in the monastic order of the Irish Sisters of Loreto, and a few years later she took monastic vows with the name Teresa. Two decades passed in thanksgiving prayers to the Lord and tireless work: Sister Teresa taught at St. Mary's Girls' School, providing education to children from the poorest families, and sang in the church choir. Seeing how people suffered from hunger, dirt and disease, she gradually realized her purpose: to help the disadvantaged in any way possible, to do works of mercy and compassion.
10 commandments of Mother Teresa 1. People can be unreasonable, illogical and selfish - forgive them anyway. 2. If you show kindness, and people accuse you of secret personal motives, show kindness anyway. 3. If you achieve success, then you may have many imaginary friends and real enemies - still achieve success. 4. If you are honest and frank, then people can deceive you - still be honest and frank. 5. What you have been building for years can be destroyed overnight - continue to build anyway.. 6. If you have found serene happiness, then people may envy you - still be happy 7. The good that you have done today, people will forget tomorrow - do good anyway. 8. Share the best of what you have with people, and they will never have enough of it - still continue to share the best with them. 9. It doesn’t matter who says what about you – accept everything with a smile and continue doing your job. 10. Pray together and remain in unity.
Mother Teresa's main advice The main advice from Mother Teresa to people: “From a material point of view, you have everything in this world, but your heart is sad; don’t worry about what you don’t have, just go and serve people: hold their hands in yours and express love; if you follow this advice, you will shine like a beacon."
“Rus' is not without good people!” Russian people can easily be considered one of the most responsive peoples in the world. And we have someone to look up to.
Okolnichy Fedor Rtishchev
During his lifetime, Fyodor Rtishchev, a close friend and adviser to Tsar Alexei Mikhailovich, received the nickname “gracious husband.” Klyuchevsky wrote that Rtishchev fulfilled only part of the commandment of Christ - he loved his neighbor, but not himself. He was one of that rare breed of people who put the interests of others above their own “wants.” It was on the initiative of " bright man“The first shelters for beggars appeared not only in Moscow, but also beyond its borders. It was common for Rtishchev to pick up a drunk on the street and take him to a temporary shelter he organized - an analogue of a modern sobering-up station. How many were saved from death and did not freeze to death on the street, one can only guess.
In 1671, Fyodor Mikhailovich sent grain convoys to starving Vologda, and then money raised from the sale of personal property. And when I learned about the need of the Arzamas residents for additional lands, he simply donated his own.
During the Russian-Polish War, he carried out not only his compatriots, but also Poles from the battlefield. He hired doctors, rented houses, bought food and clothing for the wounded and prisoners, again using his own funds. After Rtishchev’s death, his “Life” appeared - a unique case of demonstrating the holiness of a layman, and not a monk.
Empress Maria Feodorovna
The second wife of Paul I, Maria Fedorovna, was famous for her excellent health and tirelessness. Starting the morning with cold douches, prayer and strong coffee, the Empress devoted the rest of the day to taking care of her countless pupils. She knew how to convince moneybags to donate money for construction educational institutions For noble maidens in Moscow and St. Petersburg, Simbirsk and Kharkov. With her direct participation, the largest charitable organization was created - the Imperial Humane Society, which existed until the beginning of the 20th century.
Having 9 children of her own, she especially cared for abandoned babies: the sick were cared for in orphanages, the strong and healthy were cared for in trustworthy peasant families.
This approach has significantly reduced child mortality. With all the scale of her activities, Maria Feodorovna also paid attention to the little things that were not necessary for life. So, in Obukhovskaya psychiatric hospital In St. Petersburg, each patient received his own kindergarten.
Her will contains the following lines: “Give life to Your Spirit through meekness, love and mercy. Be helpers and benefactors to the suffering and the poor.”
Prince Vladimir Odoevsky
A descendant of the Rurikovichs, Prince Vladimir Odoevsky, was convinced that the thought he sowed would certainly “come up tomorrow” or “in a thousand years.” Close friend Griboyedov and Pushkin, the writer and philosopher Odoevsky was an active supporter of the abolition of serfdom, worked to the detriment of his own interests for the Decembrists and their families, and tirelessly intervened in the fate of the most disadvantaged. He was ready to rush to the aid of anyone who turned to him and saw in everyone a “living string” that could be made to sound for the benefit of the cause.
The St. Petersburg Society for Visiting the Poor, which he organized, helped 15 thousand needy families.
There was a women's workshop, a children's shelter with a school, a hospital, hostels for the elderly and families, and a social store.
Despite his origin and connections, Odoevsky did not seek to occupy an important post, believing that in a “minor position” he could bring “real benefit.” The “Strange Scientist” tried to help young inventors realize their ideas. The main character traits of the prince, according to contemporaries, were humanity and virtue.
Prince Peter of Oldenburg
An innate sense of justice distinguished the grandson of Paul I from most of his colleagues. He not only served in the Preobrazhensky Regiment during the reign of Nicholas I, but also equipped the first school in the history of the country at his place of service, in which soldiers’ children were educated. Later, this successful experience was applied to other regiments.
In 1834, the prince witnessed the public punishment of a woman who was driven through a line of soldiers, after which he petitioned for dismissal, saying that he would never be able to carry out such orders.
Pyotr Georgievich devoted the rest of his life to charity. He was a trustee and honorary member of many institutions and societies, including the Kyiv Home for the Poor.
Sergey Skirmunt
Retired second lieutenant Sergei Skirmunt is almost unknown to the general public. He did not hold high positions and failed to become famous for his good deeds, but he was able to build socialism on a single estate.
At the age of 30, when Sergei Apollonovich was painfully thinking about future fate, he received 2.5 million rubles from a deceased distant relative.
The inheritance was not spent on carousing or lost at cards. One part of it became the basis for donations to the Society for the Promotion of Public Public Entertainment, the founder of which was Skirmunt himself. With the rest of the money, the millionaire built a hospital and a school on the estate, and all his peasants were able to move to new huts.
Anna Adler
The whole life of this amazing woman was devoted to educational and pedagogical work. She was an active participant in various charitable societies, helped during the famine in the Samara and Ufa provinces, and on her initiative the first public reading room was opened in the Sterlitamak district. But her main efforts were aimed at changing the situation of people with disabilities. For 45 years, she did everything to ensure that blind people had the opportunity to become full-fledged members of society.
She was able to find the means and strength to open the first specialized printing house in Russia, where in 1885 the first edition of the “Collection of Articles for children's reading, published and dedicated to blind children by Anna Adler."
To produce the book in Braille, she worked seven days a week until late at night, personally typing and proofreading page after page.
Later, Anna Alexandrovna translated the musical notation system, and blind children were able to learn to play musical instruments. With her active assistance, a few years later the first group of blind students graduated from the St. Petersburg School for the Blind, and a year later from the Moscow School. Literacy and vocational training helped graduates find jobs, which changed the stereotypical idea of their incapacity. Anna Adler just barely lived to see the opening of the First Congress of the All-Russian Society of the Blind.
Nikolay Pirogov
The entire life of the famous Russian surgeon is a series of brilliant discoveries, the practical use of which saved more than one life. The men considered him a wizard who attracted higher powers for his “miracles.” He was the first in the world to use surgery in the field, and his decision to use anesthesia saved not only his patients from suffering, but also those who lay on the tables of his students later. Through his efforts, the splints were replaced with bandages soaked in starch.
He was the first to use the method of sorting the wounded into those who were seriously injured and those who would make it to the rear. This reduced the mortality rate significantly. Before Pirogov, even a minor wound to the arm or leg could result in amputation.
He personally carried out operations and tirelessly ensured that the soldiers were provided with everything they needed: warm blankets, food, water.
According to legend, it was Pirogov who taught Russian academicians to conduct plastic surgery, demonstrating the successful experience of implanting a new nose on the face of his barber, whom he helped get rid of deformity.
Being an excellent teacher, about whom all the students spoke with warmth and gratitude, he believed that main task education - teach to be human.
