Among the long-livers of Russia, Fedor Grigorievich Uglov occupies a special place. This man not only managed to reach 103 years of age, but also left a huge mark on the development of domestic medicine. A God-given surgeon, a talented publicist, a tireless fighter for a healthy lifestyle... He saved people not only with a scalpel, but also with a healing, sharp word in different life situations.

About the achievements of Academician Uglov

Before we begin the story about the life of Fyodor Grigorievich, we should list his main achievements so that the reader understands the magnitude of the personality we are talking about.

Academician Fedor Uglov, who passed away in his one hundred and fourth year, in addition to membership in the Russian Academy of Sciences, was also a member of the Writers' Union and many scientific societies, both Soviet (and then Russian) and international. He served as president of the State Orthodox Foundation, and the staff of the International Slavic Academy entrusted him with the post of vice president. In addition, Uglov published the journal “Bulletin of Surgery”.

But, of course, he showed himself most clearly in the role of a practicing doctor. He was appreciated at home and abroad, called the engine of Russian surgery and compared with pioneers in the field of space exploration.

Surgeon Fedor Uglov was a pioneer in performing complex operations on the heart, esophagus, lungs and other organs. It was he who invented the artificial heart valve. He personally tested and made many effective surgical techniques available to medicine.

They said about this man that he was born with a scalpel in his hands. Uglov possessed a unique surgical technique, and many luminaries of world medicine gave him a standing ovation after the operations performed by the Russian.

Uglov Fedor Grigorievich: biography

He was born on October 5 (September twenty-second according to the old style) 1904 in the small village of Chuguevo, belonging to the Irkutsk province, in the family of simple peasants Grigory Gavrilovich and Anastasia Nikolaevna Uglov. The surgeon spent his childhood in the countryside, in very modest, almost Spartan conditions. Mom and dad had six children, but the family could not boast of wealth.

And yet, the parents managed to educate five of their six offspring. After finishing the Kirensky ten-year plan, Fedor Uglov decides to study further. Having learned about his son’s decision, the father gives him money for the journey to Irkutsk and declares that he cannot help with anything else. Not now, not later. The talented and stubborn guy had to achieve everything himself. He started literally from scratch.

Higher education

In Irkutsk, Uglov without any problems enters the East Siberian University at the Faculty of Medicine. He studies with enthusiasm and great diligence, apparently already feeling his purpose in the chosen field.

During his student days, a story happened to a guy, from which he was convinced that every cloud has a silver lining. In 1924, while in his second year, Fedor Uglov visited Leningrad and after the trip he became very seriously ill. His body fought against two types of typhus at once - typhus and typhoid. The disease developed complications and sepsis began. For a long time, the twenty-year-old youth hung over the abyss. If it weren’t for the help of a classmate who took care of him, despite having a small child, Uglov would hardly have been lucky enough to survive.

Subsequently, this kind girl became Fedor’s wife, and he himself successfully graduated from the university - although not in Irkutsk, but in Saratov, where he transferred after an illness. Doctors advised him to change his place of residence, since the cold Siberian climate was harming Uglov’s health.

First steps in medicine

The future of luminous Russian medicine Fedor Uglov, whose biography began in a remote village, did not have enough stars from the sky and walked to his heights slowly, achieving success through hard work.

Having received his diploma in 1929, he worked as a simple local doctor in a rural area. First in the Lower Volga region, then moved to Abkhazia.

Two years later, Uglov managed to get a place at the Leningrad Hospital. Mechnikov, and after finishing his internship he ended up in the interdistrict hospital for water workers in the city of Kirensk, where he was the chief physician and then the head of the surgical department.

The doctor was still far from universal recognition, although his personality even then attracted the attention of his colleagues. Who, however, were more often skeptical about the work of the young surgeon and did not particularly trust his talents.

Career Development

Not wanting to stop there and limit himself to the role of a simple hospital employee, Fedor Uglov in 1937 became a graduate student at the Leningrad Medical Institute for Advanced Medical Studies and actively worked on scientific articles. His first topics were complications of typhoid fever and the development of surgery in the provinces - all that was close and very familiar. He chose one of the types of tumors as a topic for his candidate's dissertation, and for his doctoral dissertation - lung resection.

At the institute, Fyodor Grigorievich worked first as an assistant and then as an associate professor at the Department of Surgery. And all this is against the backdrop of military events.

Work during the war

It should be noted that Fedor Uglov managed to visit the front during the Soviet-Finnish campaign, serving as a senior surgeon of the medical battalion from 1939 to 1940. And when the Great Patriotic War broke out, the talented doctor was not drafted into the army, apparently considering his role in the rear more important. Uglov operated in one of the Leningrad hospitals and steadfastly survived the fascist blockade.

In his own words, he did not die from hunger only thanks to luck. For some time he replaced the head of the hospital and was obliged to try the food that was fed to the patients - and he survived.

900 days of siege left an indelible mark on Uglov’s memory. He often recalled how they operated under bombing, without heating and in almost complete darkness. But despite everything, we managed to save people.

1st Leningrad Medical University

Most of Fyodor Grigorievich’s working life was spent within the walls of the First Leningrad Medical Institute, where he worked from 1950 to 1990, heading the department of hospital surgery.

During this period, Fedor Grigorievich Uglov created his own surgical school, training a whole galaxy of first-class specialists. In parallel with his classes with students, he continues to actively practice, performing unique operations.

Long-lived

Uglov Fedor Grigorievich, whose biography began at the dawn of the twentieth century, also managed to capture the 21st century, having lived as much as 103 years and several months. At the same time, until his last days he retained a bright mind, good spirits and was physically active. After retirement, he read a lot (especially historical literature), worked in the garden, loved to have picnics in nature and skiing. He constantly strengthened his body, and his soul was kept in good shape by his sincere faith in God.

The academician's youngest child was born when he was already sixty-six years old. And being a hundred-year-old man, Uglov claimed that he still retains sexual activity and lives a regular sex life. And all thanks to the fact that even in his youth he limited the number of sexual acts to one or two times a week.

He was even included in the Guinness Book of Records as the oldest practicing surgeon. In the presence of witnesses, Uglov performed the operation at the age of one hundred.

The outstanding surgeon was often asked how he managed to live so long, because behind him there were revolutions, wars, blockades, famine... And he willingly shared his secrets, strongly recommending them to all applicants for longevity:

Fedor Uglov, whose photo is presented in this article, did not look decrepit even at the end of his life. And his soul also kept him young. Therefore, the advice of an outstanding medical figure deserves the closest attention.

The fight for a healthy lifestyle

The surgeon Fedor Grigorievich Uglov was engaged not only in healing the flesh. Being a talented writer and journalist, he wrote hundreds of articles in which he tried to heal people with the help of kind, comforting words.

In addition to his exploits in the operating room, this man is also famous for his active struggle for a healthy lifestyle. He constantly spoke and wrote about the harmful effects of nicotine, alcohol and drugs on the body, providing convincing arguments and facts. He believed that a person should not allow himself a single cigarette or a single glass of vodka, having imposed a severe taboo on such things. Uglov categorically did not allow compromises on this issue.

The fight against total drunkenness also affected children. Uglov called for stopping giving babies kefir, which contains a certain percentage of alcohol and leads children into alcohol addiction from an early age. A large-scale media campaign was launched on this matter.

From his pen came a lot of journalistic works devoted to a healthy lifestyle. The most famous of them: “Suicides”, “Truth and lies about legal drugs”, “Captive of illusions”, “Trap for Russia”, etc.

By the way, Fyodor Grigorievich was convinced that Russians before the revolution were not subject to drunkenness. Allegedly, they were made drunk by Jews with the aim of destroying the Russian nation. At the same time, the doctor did not consider himself an anti-Semite.

A little about the family

As noted above, Fedor Uglov first married in his early youth to his classmate, who married him after typhus. But this marriage was not his only one.

Uglov's second wife, Emilia Viktorovna Streltsova, was thirty-two years younger than him. From two marriages, Fyodor Grigorievich has daughters Tatyana and Elena and a son Grigory.

At the time of his death, the outstanding surgeon already had nine grandchildren, the same number of great-grandchildren and even two great-great-grandchildren! And he died of a heart attack on June 22, 2008. His remains rest in the Nikolskoye cemetery at the Alexander Nevsky Lavra.

Are we living our time?

If you are careless about your health, you can quickly use up your vitality, even if a person is in the best social and material conditions. And vice versa.

Even with financial difficulties and many shortcomings, a reasonable and strong-willed person can preserve life and health for a long time. But it is very important that a person takes care of longevity from a young age...

From the captivity of illusions

Fedor Uglov dedicates this book to a burning topic: how to protect human health, how to ensure that everyone lives a bright, full-blooded spiritual life, and does not lose themselves as an individual, as a creator?

Lomehuzy

This is the terrible truth about alcohol, which is hushed up by the media, but which everyone should know.

These are hundreds of thousands of premature deaths and defective newborns, many industrial accidents and road disasters, crippled destinies and ruined health.

Truths and lies about legal drugs

The book by Fyodor Grigorievich Uglov once again calls on readers to think and analyze the terrible situation that has arisen as a result of the catastrophically high level of consumption of legal drugs in our country: “I see my task as,” says the author, “to tell the strictly scientific truth about what tobacco and alcohol and what they bring to the people and the country.

A man is not old enough

At sixty, life is just beginning! There is so much strength like I didn’t have in my youth. Run up the stairs, drive a car, get everything done on time. In the profession, wise with experience and full of creative plans, you are on horseback. It is not customary to talk about family relationships, but the fact that a father gives birth to a baby in his seventh decade speaks for itself.

And all this is not fantasy if you live as taught by F.G. Uglov, a brilliant doctor listed in the Guinness Book of Records as the longest-operating surgeon in the world.
