title: [Military commissariats of the higher medical school of the country in 1920-s].
abstract: Defining influence on activity of the higher medical school of the country in 1920-1922 was rendered by military commissariats of the higher medical educational institutions led by commissioners under the general control of the Management at Narkomprose of RSFSR. Military commissioners had the right of a casting vote in board of high schools, carried out ideological control and provided performance of a class principle, operated financial questions and staffing issues, participated in the organization of educational process. Work of medical faculty of Smolensk State University (SSU) similarly was under construction. But, thanks to a principle position of professors of the faculty, enlistment office's actions often were exposed to the criticism here, and many incompetent decisions of Military Commissariat have not been realized. It is possible to consider as a unique positive role of a Military Commissariat in SSU were the actions undertaken for preservation of faculty at attempts of its closing in 1920-1922.
