Аннотация:In 1916 Russian Physical and Chemical Society awarded a prize for achievements in biochemistry to Vladimir Gulevich for his outstanding works on isolation of carnitine, carnosine etc. However V. Gulevich proposed to use the prize pool for establishing a new prize in memory of his teacher professor Alexander Dmitrievich Bulyginsky (1838 – 1907). This novel prize should have been awarded for the published biochemical researches carried out in Russian laboratories. Analysis of the documents relating to A. D. Bulyginsky sheds light on this decision. The major merit of Alexander Dmitrievich Bulyginsky, the founder of the Department of Medical (later Biological) Chemistry in Moscow University, was originally the right way of the education and investigations at this Department based on neither medicine, nor biology, but “pure chemistry”. In was A.D. Bulyginsky, who organized full biochemical research in the Moscow University laboratory and its functioning demanded 25 years of methodical and time-consuming organizational work.
