The article describes in detail the activities of V. F. Voyno-Yasenetsky, a surgeon-consultant, performed against the background of advisory work in evacuation hospitals in the city of Krasnoyarsk and the Krasnoyarsk Krai in 1941-1942. It shows principles and features of medical consultants and V.F. Voyno-Yasenetsky work, as well as the actual content of the advisory work under conditions of acute shortage of qualified personnel and a large flow of wounded patients from the front during the first years of the Great Patriotic war. The paper notes difficulties to solve the problems of organising timely counselling of the wounded soldiers and officers. It highlights the specific features of activities of V.F. Voyno-Yasenetsky, who played an exceptional and key role in arranging a qualified and life-saving advisory work given to the medical personnel and the seriously injured persons entered the Krasnoyarsk hospitals by military-sanitary echelons in 1941-1942. The study objective is to describe and analyze activities of V.F. Voyno-Yasenetsky, a surgeon-consultant, in the field of continuous and systematic work led by consultant doctors at the evacuation hospitals of the city of Krasnoyarsk and the Krasnoyarsk Krai. The author provides evidence of a very special role played by Professor V.F. Voyno-Yasenetsky, without whom the advisory work of Krasnoyarsk doctors would not be so effective. In addition, he corrects a significant error in the report of Krasnoyarsk Regional Department of Health claiming that surgeons-consultants did not work in hospitals of Krasnoyarsk city, but consulted only in regional hospitals. The extant lists of consultations carried out by surgeon V.F. Voyno-Yasenetsky in the hospitals of Krasnoyarsk city refuted this statement. The author considers that owing to Valentin Feliksovich and other surgeons-consultants, the wounded soldiers and officers’ mortality rate was low in the hospitals of both the city and the region.
