Presents materials about the life and work of A. D. Kotsovsky, a psychiatrist and assistant professor of Novorossiysk University and professor of the Odessa Medical Institute. In 1922, Kotsovsky emigrated to Romania (Bessarabia), and as a result his biography was incomplete and contained numerous errors. An attempt has been made to fill gaps and correct inaccuracies, primarily related to the Odessa period of life.
