Chazov was born in 1929.[1] He was a graduate of the Kiev Medical Institute.[1] Following his graduation he worked as a clinic surgeon, and later joined the research institute of therapy of the USSR Academy of Medical Sciences.[1] He served as a managing director of the A. L. Myasnikov Research Institute.[1] Chazov was the director of the Moscow cardiological center since 1976. It is one of the largest such centers in the world, comprising 10 separate institutes. As the chief of the fourth directorate of the Ministry of Health, which took care of Soviet leaders, he was widely regarded to be a person responsible for the health of the Soviet leadership, although he sometimes denied that he was their "personal physician".[2] He was the deputy health minister and appointed minister of health in 1987.[1] Chazov was a member of the central committee of the Communist Party.[1]
In his book of memoirs, Health and Power[3] he described many circumstances concerning the health of the Soviet leaders and of some leaders of the Soviet satellites.
Nobel Peace Prize
Yevgeniy Chazov was a co-founder and co-president of International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War. Charged with promoting research on the probable medical, psychological, and biospheric effects of nuclear war, the group was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize on 10 December 1985.[4] On the occasion of the award, Chazov gave the acceptance speech in Oslo.[5] At that time the group represented more than 135,000 members from 41 countries. Many groups protested about the decision to include Chazov, and alleged that Chazov was responsible for some of the Soviet abuses of psychiatry and medicine and for attacks against a 1975 recipient of the Nobel Peace Prize, the physicist and Soviet dissident Andrei D. Sakharov.Template:Fact
