Sensational charges against Dr. Serednevsky, director of the Tchudnovsky Hospital here, and a member of the Krassin expedition to rescue the airship Italia, are made in the Leningrad paper, “Krasnaya Gazeta.” The charge brought against Dr. Serednevsky is that he conducted systematic persecution of Jewish doctors at his institution, compelling several to resign, including the noted specialist Charshonovsky, who has a record of many years achievements.
Dr. Serednevsky was aided by a group of non-Jewish doctors and nurses in the hospital. He also spread derogatory reports with regard to the Krassin expedition, the paper declares, demanding an investigation.
Reports of widespread anti-Semitism among the professors of the Kiev colleges are carried by the Tass, Soviet telegraphic news service. The reports state that Professors Gayevsky, Popov and Radchenko are particularly active. Recently Professor Yeselovsky was discharged because of anti-Jewish and anti-Soviet propaganda he spread. The others still hold their professorships at the colleges.
