Dundua, Nodar Georgievich, Captain Medical Service, Balneotherapist

Here is the group to Major G. K. Dundua's son, Nodar. This set is possibly "complete" and came from a single outstanding source (we all know who - Desantnik).

Nodar did not follow his father's footsteps into politics but went into Medicine. He became a Balneotherapist. Even though I'm from a very medical related family I've never experienced this branch of medicine but I wouldn't think this was a very political statement. I'd also think the number of Balneotherapists in demand in Tbilisi would be limited.

Firstly we have his Komsomol Booklet from February 1943, just after his 15th birthday. A time the Soviet Union was still in a dire situation. Berija's name pops up yet again. Anyone would think he was influential in Georgia or something? I'm sure father will have had some influence in this membership decision.

Second is his 1951 dated Diploma for graduating as a Medical Doctor. I'm not sure which Badge should go with this so I may or may not have it in the collection. I know some of the kind and informed folks out there can help.

Thirdly is a 1953 document stating that he did excellent in his specialisation subject, Balneotherapy.

Re: Captain Nodar Georgievich Dundua.

Here is a trio of notifications. The word most pronounced to me is "Therapy".

Re: Captain Nodar Georgievich Dundua.

Here is what some would see as the highlight of the "group". This Veteran of military service and medical doctor's chestful.

A 12th July 1958 Medal ''40 Years Of The Soviet Armed Forces'' and 22nd February 1974 Badge ''Champion Of The Socialist Competition Of 1973'' awarded by the Georgian S.S.R.'s Ministerial Board and Trade Union Of Medical Workers.

Re: Captain Nodar Georgievich Dundua.

Nice group of documents:thumbsup

I wonder whether he practiced his specialty in the armed forces? As I understand it balneotherapy is the treatment of disease by bathing, and is usually carried out at spas.

It may involve hot or cold water, massage through moving water, relaxation or stimulation.

Many spas are rich in particular minerals (silica, sulfur, selenium, radium) which can be absorbed through the skin, and may be the therapeutic agents in this type of therapy.

Re: Captain Nodar Georgievich Dundua.

You can't really imagine this sort of thing being top priority in a mobile, wartime medical unit. Of course if you desperately desire to be away from flying pieces of red hot metal this is a good line. Once again I wonder if his father helped him make some choices that would make his communist life that bit easier.

Nodar's birth is 6th February 1928 and he was a non-combative Medical Military serviceman. I have a "consecutive" group to a man born on the 5th February 1928 who was also an unarmed Medical Military serviceman. Although he saw (non-combative) service during 1944-5 and did a year in Korea amongst other things.

It can be very interesting how complimentary yet polarised some of these sets can be.
