   Already at that time, as well as in post-war times, the Department of Surgery, which was located in the clinical building of the Veterinary Institute on Vasylkivska Street, gained great authority among the owners of animals in the city of Kyiv, and above all, bindyuzhniks (horse owners). This became possible thanks to tireless and highly professional help in the treatment of injured animals, which at that time were intensively used as bulk transport on the construction site. And when, following the denunciation of ill-wishers, I.O. Povazhenko was arrested in 1938 as an enemy of the people, it was the mass action of bindyuzhniks that contributed to his release from arrest.
   In 1940, due to the large amount of educational material, the department of surgery was divided into two departments: general and special surgery, which continued to be headed by I.O. Povazhenko, and the department of operative surgery, which was headed by V.K. Chubar.
