A bit of history
They founded this very ordinary pharmacy back in 1875, even under sovereign Alexander II. But in 1945, the local resident S. I. Vilkotsky, who graduated from the pharmaceutical school, was in charge of this institution. Stanislav Ivanovich was fond of herbal medicine. He made healing preparations, which he shared mainly with well-known people.
Vilkotsky collected rare books of herbal medicine, wrote down herbal recipes. By the way, his brother led the publishing house “Medical Book”, from there collections of recipes went to Rubezhevichi. In those years, after the advent of antibiotics, herbal medicine was recognized as unpromising. In addition, those who seriously engaged in traditional medicine were accused of quackery.
However, the production of medicines required raw materials. And Vilkotsky made his pharmacy become a center for the procurement of medicinal herbs. He received the head and official permission to manufacture drugs. On the territory of the former Union in the seventies there were only three phyto-pharmacies: in Kiev, Vilnius and Rubezhevichi.
Soon rumors began to spread about Vilkotsky and his pharmacy throughout the country. He prepared recipes even for high-ranking officials, both Belarusian and “from Moscow itself”. In 1975, Stanislav Ivanovich went on a well-deserved rest. New managers here did not stay long. But three years later, a young doctor, Anatoly Ivanovich Grigoryev, came here. And everything has changed.
