Abstract
IN the summer of 1935, physiologists from all over the world gathered in the U.S.S.R. to attend the international Congress held in Leningrad and Moscow. Though we knew that scientific men there were held in high esteem and that our president, the renowned Pavlov, had every privilege the State could grant, we were not at all prepared for the magnificence awaiting us and for the intense interest which the doings of the Congress seemed to arouse in everyone we met. Whatever our political colour, we had to conclude that in the U.S.S.R. scientific workers were genuinely regarded as estimable people to be encouraged at all costs.
