On January 13, 1944, a meeting took place between N. N. Burdenko, who sent a report to the Government of the USSR outlining the concept of organizing the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences, and the First Deputy Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR V. M. Molotov. The concept was supported and sent for further consideration to the Secretary for Ideology of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) A. S. Shcherbakov. From him, the document was sent to the Propaganda and Agitation Department of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) for detailed study and preparation of a draft resolution of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR. Unexpectedly, a letter from the People's Commissar of Health of the USSR G. A. Miterev arrived at the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) on the same issue - on the creation of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences, but differing from the report of N. N. Burdenko on a number of fundamental issues. Both concepts were carefully studied by the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks), and soon the draft resolution of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR on the establishment of the Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR landed on the desk of the Deputy Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR, K. E. Voroshilov. The draft of this document took into account individual proposals by G. A. Miterev and N. N. Burdenko, with greater support for the position of G. A. Miterev. However, due to the absence of the interests of military medicine in the final documents, which N. N. Burdenko defended, another letter was born, which was sent on May 29, 1944 to G. A. Miterev from the Main Military Sanitary Directorate of the Red Army. On May 31, 1944, additional materials taking into account the interests of military medicine landed on the desk of K. E. Voroshilov. On June 29, 1944, a meeting of the Politburo of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) was held under the chairmanship of I. V. Stalin, at which the issue of creating the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences was considered and a draft resolution of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR on the establishment of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences under the People's Commissariat of Health of the USSR was approved, and on June 30, 1944, at a meeting of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR, resolution No. 797 «On the establishment of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences» was adopted - the first official document on the creation of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences.
