To the 100th anniversary of professor Yu.L. Zolotko - the author of the first in the USSR "Atlas of topographic human anatomy"

The article contains a biographical description and analysis of the scientific activity of Professor Yu.L. Zolotko - an outstanding anatomist, the author of the first in the USSR "Atlas of Topographic Human Anatomy”, which is still considered a textbook in Russian nativ medical literature. The uniqueness of this three-volume publication lies in the fact that all the work on the atlas was carried out by one person - its author, who simultaneously acts as the author and editor of the text, preparator, illustrator, photographer. There have been no similar examples in the history of medicine yet. The article is dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the birth of Professor Yuri Leonidovich Zolotko, which will be in 2023.
