XV International Physiological Congress named after I. M. Sechenov
The XV International Physiological Congress (also known as the 15th International Congress of Physiological Sciences) took place in Leningrad and Moscow from 9 to 17 August 1935. It was the first major international scientific congress held in the Soviet Union and one of the most significant events in the history of world physiology during the interwar period.
The congress was deliberately associated with the name of Ivan Mikhailovich Sechenov (1829–1905), widely regarded as the founder of Russian physiology and a pioneer in the study of the central nervous system and reflex activity. A special commemorative medal bearing Sechenov’s portrait was struck for the participants, and a two-volume edition of his works was prepared and distributed to the delegates.
Under the honorary presidency of Ivan Pavlov, the congress brought together approximately 1,450 scientists from 40 countries across five continents. Sessions covered a wide range of physiological topics, and the event served both as a showcase of Soviet scientific achievements and as an important platform for international scientific exchange in the years before the Second World War.
The 1935 congress remains a landmark in the history of physiology and in the scientific diplomacy of the early Soviet period.
