PETROV INSTITUTE OF ONCOLOGY, Professor Petrov Research Institute of Oncology situated at 68 Leningradskaya Street, Pesochny Settlement. It was founded in 1927 as the Practical Institute of Oncology attached to the Health Department of Leningrad Province and used the Mechnikov Hospital as its basis. It was placed under the control of the People's Commissariat of Health of the Russian Soviet Federative Socialist Republic from 1935. It had the largest national clinic by 1937 to provide surgical, radiation, and complex treatment of malignant tumours. Its buildings were destroyed during the Great Patriotic War of 1941-45, and the institute moved to 5/3 Second Berezovaya Alley, Kamenny Island, placed under the control of the People's Commissariat of Health of the USSR. After the Academy of Medical Sciences of the USSR was founded in 1944, the institute was attached to the academy. In 1966, it was attached to the Ministry of Health of the USSR. The institute moved to a special complex in the settlement of Pesochny in 1963-64. It is now a large scientific and medical centre. In 1964, it was named after N. N. Petrov, the founder and first director in 1927-42, with a monument sculpted by V. E. Cherkasov in 1973.
