THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF HISTORICAL AND SCIENTIFIC RESEARCH IN SPINE SURGERY

As for Yakov Leontyevich Sivyan, it cannot be said that he made a great contribution to the development of domestic vertebrology: he was one of the few who created it. The Iron Curtain, which for many decades separated our country from the civilized world, played a negative role in the development of the domestic vertebrology school, one of the leading and recognized centers of which was Novosibirsk. Yakov Leontevich Sivyan was born in this city in 1920. On September 27, 2020, he celebrated his 100th birthday. No teacher has been with us for 33 years. The young people at the institute hardly know anything about him. Besides, we who had the good fortune of working with him were very few.
