Abstract
Great scientists are not always great men at the same time. Testimonies of contemporaries show that many geniuses who have made breakthroughs in science actually had narrow minds. Brilliant scientists are few indeed, but those of them who are also great men are even rarer. Ivan Petrovich Pavlov was one of these rare exceptions. This made him into a charismatic personality not only among physiologists.
