Dear colleagues and friends!

Abstract

Here is the first issue of the renewed Journal of Obstetrics and Women's Diseases. Its history is closely connected with the first obstetric and gynecological society in Russia, the founding meeting of which took place on March 23, 1886 in St. Petersburg. Its first chairman was Professor A. Ya. Krassovsky, and the founding members together with him were Professors K. F. Slavyansky, I. F. Balandin and Associate Professor D. O. Ott, who later headed the Board of the Society for many years.
