The article presents the main results of the work of the legendary team of military pathophysiologists and clinicians for the first time in Russian and world literature. Results were published by them in Prague in 1945 under the title “Proceedings of Group No.1 for the Study of Shock” (430 p.) And since then they have never been reprinted. The authors of the article have carried out many years of painstaking work to analyze the outstanding scientific achievements of each of the members of the Group as well as to search for their biographies and photos. The group had been working during 1942-1945 in the military areas of the North-Western and Ukrainian fronts. The Group was well equipped and was engaged not only in treating shock patients but also conducted in-depth studies of the pathophysiological mechanisms of military-traumatic shock. The published in Proceedings materials completely refuted the main provisions of the neurogenic theory of shock prevailing at that time in the USSR. According to the theory shock was considered as a nosological unit and arose in connection with violations of the regulatory functions of the central nervous system. The members of the group convincingly proved that shock during a war had been arising and had been progressing due to a combination of a number of factors among which in the first place was blood loss, in the second - damage to vital organs, in the third - infection, in the fourth - fat embolism and only in the last - neurogenic factor. The works of the Group in their homeland were met with hostility in every possible way indiscriminately criticized and hushed up in connection with which the overwhelming majority of doctors and scientists knew nothing about it for many years (19 figs, bibliography: 11 refs).
