Abstract
Based on memoirs of the outstanding Russian helminthologist Konstantin Skryabin (1878—1972), the article reconstructs the circumstances of his stay in Königsberg in 1912—1913. The research introduces the archive documents that reflect the attempts of the Soviet officials to commemorate Skryabin in Kaliningrad in 1956—1957 and gives recommendations for preserving the memory of Skryabin in the contemporary Kaliningrad region. The author analyses a curious statement in historiography concerning the issue of the establishment of a plate in memory of Skryabin.
