The article is dedicated to the Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor, Full Member of the Academy of Social Sciences of the Russian

Federation, Honored Worker of the Higher School of the Russian Federation Gennady Stepanovich Shchurov, who would have turned 90 on August 30, 2025. The authors of the article aimed to reveal the life story of this person. The study was based on a systematic approach, which included the principles of historicism, objectivity and scientificity. Archival materials, monographs, newspaper publications and scientific articles dedicated to G.S. Shchurov, covering various periods, were used as sources. Gennady Stepanovich left a rich scientific legacy for historians of medicine, cultural historians, historians of Pomorye and historians of the Fatherland as a whole. His name is among the unique scientists of the Arkhangelsk State Medical Institute (ASMI) – Northern State Medical University (NSMU), where he went the entire scientific path from assistant, associate professor to professor, head of the department. For almost 40 years he worked at the Department of Marxism-Leninism and Political Economy, which changed its name more than once (currently – the Department of Humanities of NSMU). In 2025, it will be 20 years since the creation of the museum complex and the Society for the Study of the History of Medicine of the European North at NSMU, founded by Professor G.S. Shchurov.
