Summary/Abstract: An extensive body of literature is devoted to the life and work of one of the leading hygienists Grigoriy Vitalyevich Khlopin, who was head of the Department of Hygiene at the University of Yuriev (present-day Tartu) in 1896–1903 (Loit, Loit & Kalnin, 1968; Belitskaya, 1982). Major encyclopedias published in Russia include biographical entries about him (Shishkin, 1978; Koshelev, 1985). In addition, Khlopin’s background is given in both general biographical dictionaries and other biographical books of the universities where he worked (Levitskii, 1903; Zolotarev, Ilyin & Luki, 1992; Volkov & Kulikov, 2003). Notable among these are the monographs by A. A. Rachkov (1965) and A. P. Shcherbo (2006). However, the former was published nearly half a century ago and was, in some respects, outdated, and the latter concentrated on the analysis of the final, the St. Petersburg period in Khlopin’s academic activities.
