9. Main Administration of the Penicillin Industry [Glavpenitsillinprom?]
One Komanw [who may have been connected with this main administra-
tion] gave a report to the Collegium of the Ministry of the Medical Industry
USSR in May 1947 concerning the progress made in organizing the Main Adminis-
tration of the Penicillin Industry.(10)
The following nine administrations and divisions of the Ministry of the
Medical Industry USSR were reported (11) as abolished with the dissolution of
that ministry in 1948:
10. Main Administration of Capital Construction (G1avUKS)
Head: I. Ye. Ushakov.(12)
11. Main Administration of Workers' Supply
12. Militarized and Fire Guard Division
13? Control and Inspection Group
Head: Davydov.(12)
14. Legal Division
15? Scientific and Technical Council
Deputy chairman: M. I. Kats.(19)
16. Arbitration [Board]
17. Division of Scientific Research Institutions
Head: A. M. Plyashkevich.(20)
18. First Division
P1o information concerning the functions of this division is
available,
Two more subdivisions of the Ministry of the Medical Industry USSR were
mentioned in other sources. [Comment: The fact that these two were not listed
in the article (11) dealing with the dissolution of the ministry may indicate
that they did not exist when the ministry was being dissolved, or that they
existed under an administration. The Planning Division, however, seems to have
been directly subordinate to the ministry.) The two subdivisions were the fol-
lowing:
19? Planning Division (21)
Sometimes referred to as the Planning and Economics Division.(22)
Head: Nikolay Nikitich Kas'yanov. Deputy head: N. M. Ivanov.(10)
20. Engineering (tekhnicheskiy) Division (12)
Frayahtat was head of this division as of June 1947 (12); he was
deputy head in January 1948.(15)

tinned as be ng-subordinatertotthe hLnistry ofethe MedicaldIndustryUSSRe(11)
Under this trust were; Construction Office No 1 (14) and Moscow Con-
struction and Assembly Administration No 1.(23) One Bykov was mentioned in
connection with both of the latter, and was possibly the head of the trust
itself. In February 1948, one Sobolev was mentioned as head of Soyuzmedprom-
stroy.(18)
Main production administrations of the former Ministry of the Medical
Industry were to retain their rights and were to be instituted as production
administrations of Glavmedprom, Ministry of Health USSR, maintaining economic
and operational control over their subordinate enterprises.
Scientific research institutions and laboratories were organically sepa-
rate from plants of industry and branch administrations under the former Min-
istry of the pfedical Industry, a situation which was to be remedied under
Glavmedprom, Ainistry of Health USSR, where scientific research institutes
and laboratories were placed under the i;mnediate subordination of particular
production administrations of the medical industry.(11)
C? Plants and Institutes of the Medical Industry
The following is a list of plants and institutes believed to have been
subordinate to the Ministry of the Medical Industry USSR while that ministry
existed, compiled from references in periodicals published during the period
June 1946 to March 194$. While the list is not to be considered complete, a
large part of the references were in connection with the awarding of monthly
"socialist competition" production prizes or honorary titles, therefore it
can be assumed that the most important or the most productive plants of the
period are included in the list.

III. SUBSEQUENT HISTORY OF THE h1IDICAL INDUSTRY
A. 6farch 194-0-April 1951
During this period, there i+as a [.fain Administration of the Medical In-
dustry (Glavmedprom), 12tnistry of Health USSR, headed by P. F. Ostapchuk,
Deputy btinister of Health USSR.(li) The Main Administration for the Pro-
curement of Medicinal, Technical, and Plant Raw Materials (Glavlektekhprom)
also "retained the rights of an independent main administration" :when the
Ministry of tFie Medical Industry was aboli,hed, and was directly subordi-
nated to a Deputy Idinister of Health USSR.(ll) According to information
in the article in hfeditsinska n Promyshlennost' SSSR on the dissolution of
the hlinirtry of the tdedical Industry 11 , the following were to be subdi-
visions of the newly-formed Glavmec.prom, Ministry of Health USSR:
1. Administration of the Che;ti.copharmaceutical Industry (Khimfarmprom)
This administration wes reported (ll) as uniting plants of three
main administrations of the former ilnistry of the Medical Industry USSR:
Glavkhimfarmprom, Glavlekpreparatprom, and Glavgalenprom.(11) However,
another source (30) indicated that Glavgalennrom (head: hf. N. Kagan) itself
became (perhaps temporarily] an independent administration, and one Kagan was
mentioned as head of Galenprom, hinistry of Health USSR.(3O)
2. Admimistration for the Production of tdedical Instruments and Medical
Equipment
Head, 19t~9; Fedchenlto. (40)
This administration was to unite plants of the former Glavmedinetru-
mentprom and Glavmedoborudprom of the defunct Ministry of the Medical Industry
USSR.(11)
[Comment: Another source (30), also published after the dissolution of
the Ministry of the Medical Industry USSR, uses the abbreviation hledoborud-
prom, which presumably means "Administration for the Production of Medical
Equipment." This would seem to indicate that the former Glavmedoborudprom
maintained, at least temporarily, an independent existence as Dtedoborudprom.]
3? Administration for the Production of bfedical Glassware
This administration was to unite plants of the former Glavmedsteklota-
roprom, tinistry of the ldedical Industry USSR."
Note: The abbreviation "tdedsteklotaroprom" was used in connection with
"branch administrations" under the Ministry of Health USSR.(3O)
4. Administration of Antibiotic Production
Head: Engr A. P. Grishakova.(41)
This administration was to have been formed on the basis of the
former Clavpenitsillinprom, hinistry of the Medical Industry USSR.(11) In an
article in Meditsinskiy Rabotnik (30), reference is made to a "Penitsillinprom"
as one of the ranch administrstions" under the Ministry of Health USSR.
