Abstract
Alexander N. Konovalov, M.D., Ph.D., has been the director of the esteemed Burdenko Neurosurgery Institute for 32 years and is the foremost figure in Russian neurosurgery. He brought neurosurgery in the former Soviet Union onto the world stage despite the isolationist policies of its former totalitarian regime. After the fall of the Soviet Union, he maintained the unity of the Eastern European neurosurgeons. We present the activity and achievements of Alexander N. Konovalov.
