Historical Ekaterinburg

       The city on the border-line of two countries, Europe and Asia, Ekaterinburg played an outstanding and in many aspects a key role in the history of Russia in the 20^th century. Revolution and Civil War started here from the murder of the family of Nickolay Romanov in 1918. The Stalin’s struggle against the class enemies in 30-s turned Ekaterinburg into the largest transshipment point for prisoners of GULAG, who were sent to develop the land of Siberia. In the tragic years of World War 11 there were hundreds of evacuated plants here. The greatest military leader Marshal Georgy Zhoukov spent the years of his exile at the end of 40-s beginning of 50-s. Finally, at the beginning of the 90-s Ekaterinburg presented Russia the famous politician, the first president Boris Yeltsyn.

Church on the Blood

In 1917, the history of the Russian monarchy came to its end in Yekaterinburg — it was here that Emperor Nicholas II and his family were executed. It happened in the basement of the engineer Ipatiev's house. This building was demolished in the 90's. However, at the exact location of the Ipatiev's House a majestic temple was erected, which is open for everyone.

In front of the Temple-on-the-Blood there are sculptures of the royal family. At any time of the year, especially in spring and summer, numerous newlywed couples come to the church. Even if the newlyweds do not come for a blessing, they are always photographed against the temple and the view that opens from its top. Below by the river you can see the bronze figures of Peter and Fevronia — the patron saints of family.

Monument to the keyboard

This is one of the most unusual monuments not only in Yekaterinburg, but also in all of Russia. Concrete keyboard keys were arranged in QWERTY order on the grass of the city embankment. You can skip on them, "typing" your name or writing a message.

The huge keyboard on the bank of the Iset was installed in 2005 as one of the objects of the festival "Long Stories of Yekaterinburg". The author of the project is Anatoly Vyatkin. Now the keyboard is visited by locals and tourists. In spring activists clean and tint the keys. Here from time to time, IT pros compete in casting computer mice from time to time.

I am a first-year student of the pharmaceutical college.  The college is located in Ekateringburg in Bebelya 71 street. It is a two – stored old building. It is one of the oldest educational establishments. The college was found in 1940. There are classrooms, laboratories, an assembly hall, a library and a canteen. We listen to the lectures and have practical classes. There is a library where we take textbooks, magazines, newspapers and other literature. We have our meals at the canteen.

There are 20 students in my group. Some of them live with their parents and some live in the hostel. The rooms of the hostel are not large but comfortable. Chemistry is my favorite subject. We carry out chemical experiments at the chemical laboratories. We work with different chemical substances. There are scientific circles in our college. I am a member of a chemical circle. The teaching staff consists of experienced teachers, pharmacists and doctors.

Many of my group-mates are members of the scientific society. They do research in organic chemistry, biology and some other special subjects that are of theoretical and practical importance. Many students go in for sports and take part in sporting competitions.

I like my future profession. After graduating from the college I will work as a pharmacist in a chemist's.

Description of a Pharmacy

The pharmaceutical service in our country is an inseparable part of the health protection.

You can’t successfully treat people without highly effective medical aids.

    The pharmacy has a hall, the single place people may come in; a special room for keeping

drugs; an assistants’ room where medicines are prepared and a room for the first medical aid.

    In the hall you can see special glass stalls and shelvings with different drugs. People may

choose here any drug they need. On the stalls and shelvings you can find all kinds of sedatives,

vitamins and bandages. Here there are pills, powders, bottles of drops and mixtures, tablets,

ointments, syringes, needles, thermometers, hot water bottles, medicine droppers and other

things necessary for medical care. In this department you can buy some implements for personal

hygiene and even perfumery. The department where chemists will give you anything you need

without prescription is the Chemist’s department.

    In the hall there is a special department – Prescription – where a patient can order his

prescription and have his medicine made up. A glass partition separates you from the pharmacist.

Through a small window in this partition you hand in your prescription to the pharmacist and

she/he gives you a medicine immediately if they have this medicine prepared or she appoints a special time to come for the drug. There are two drug cabinets in this department. In the drug

cabinet, marked with a big letter A, poisonous drugs are kept. In the drug cabinet, marked with a

big letter B, all strong-effective drugs are kept.

History of pharmacy

Evolution

The evolution of pharmacy can be divided into five historical periods:

1. ANCIENT ERA – The beginning of time to AD 1600

2. EMPIRIC ERA – 1600-1940

3. INDUSTRIALIZATION ERA – 1940-1970

4. PATIENT CARE ERA – 1970 to present time

5. BIOTECHNOLOGY AND GENETIC ENGINEERING ERA – The new horizon

Ancient era

• Used leaves, herbs, mud and cool water to stop bleeding and heal wounds.

• Used these methods by observing how animals heal their wounds.

• Documented experiences of healing onto clay tablets.

• In Babylonia the earliest record of the practice of pharmacy by the priest, pharmacist and physician was kept. This is where the science of drugs, organized pharmacy and medicine had its beginnings.

• Hippocrates – Father of Medicine.

• Mithridates VI – Father of Toxicology (studied the adverse effects of plants).

• Dioscorides – Father of Pharmacology.

Empiric era

• The Pharmacopoeia became a regulatory tool for pharmacists.

• The major contribution of pharmacists to science was in the area of chemistry.

• In 1620, Michael I of Russia founded the Pharmaceutical Prikaz, that would be transformed into the Medical office in 1714 by Peter I.

Industrialization era

• The development of manufacturing pharmacy began. Rapid mass production of medicines followed, i.e. mass production of penicillin began as early as 1943, due to the high demand for medicines during World War II.

• Standardization, biologically prepared products, complex chemical synthesis and increased use of parenteral medications were all part of this period.

Patient care era

• This era concentrated on research to develop new medicines.

• Pharmacists began to take a more hands-on role in dispensing medications.

The new horizon

• Research in the area of biotechnology and gene therapy is being conducted.

• Medications are being produced through recombinant DNA technology.

• New therapies for cancer, anemia and hepatitis are being introduced.
