The article, "New Method of Polyvaccine Production," supported the new method
of producing polyvaecine in the place of the outmoded foreign methods now utilized
by the management of the Institute imeni Mechnikov.
The article found wide support among medical workers. Within the Iasti ute,
t,ee article was discussed at a session cf the ec9.entific council, at a party con-
ference, and at meetings of a special commission.
L. G. Veber, director of the Institute, and 1. A. Poyarkov, his assistant,
did not explain wby the new method has not been utilized and why the necessary
chemgee in equipment were not made. Instead, they dedicated all their efforts
(1) in justifying their erroneous practice of retaining the old toethod of poly-
vaccine production, (2) in proving the unprovable, and (3) illogically stating that
the Topla and Rayetrik method which they use is up to date and perfected.
The ocetsaittee (F. G. Borngof, chairman) appointed by Veber has made no effort
to determine the beet and quickoee*? method to implement the ori.ere of the Ministries
of Public Health of the USSR and RBFBR, but instead attempted to prove) that produc-
ing the preparation in an agar medium is the only possible method for the mesent.
M. I. Rbazanov, director, !lain Sanitation and Anti-Epidemic Administration, Ministry
of Public Health, R>R, pointed out"the error of the commission ih attempting to
exonerate the management of. .-he Institute.
In contrast to the evasive tactics of the commission, the scientific council
acknowledged the importance of the article and admitted the?': the polyvaccines now
produced do not meet the standards of epidemiological practice. The council also
attempted to reconcile irreconcilable contradictions in order to avoid using the
new method. Moreover, the council c;onclueively stated that there Is no new method
of producing polyvaceinee. This is nothing more than an attempt to confuse medical
workers because the new method is referred to in the decrees of the Ninistriep of
Phb;Yc Health of the USSR and RSFSR and it is being used successfully In the Institute
