title: [E.S.BOTKIN, A SPECIMEN OF FIDELITY TO PROFESSIONAL DUTY AND OATH OF LOYALTY, AN EXAMPLE OF COURAGE AND HONOUR OF THE RUSSIAN DOCTOR].
abstract: Evgeny Sergeevch Botkin, son of the legendary Russian internist Sergey Petrovich Botkin, was a court physician for Tsar Nikolai II. After Nikolai abdicated the throne on 15 March (2 March in the Julian calendar) 1917, E.S. Botkin felt it was his duty to accompany the Romanovs into exile to Siberia and continued to selflessly treat the crown prince Aleksey, other members of the Romanov family and all those who applied for his advice. He was shot together with the Romanovs in the basement room of the Ipatiev house, Ekaterinburg, remaining loyal to professional duty and the word given to the Emperor.
