Aleksey Reshetun

Aleksey Mikhailovich Reshetun is a forensic medical examiner, photographer, writer, blogger, and traveler.

From childhood, Aleksey showed an interest in the structure and functioning of the human body, thanks to Rafael Davydovich Sinelnikov’s three-volume Atlas of Normal Human Anatomy (which he saw at his friend’s parents’ home). After finishing school, he entered the Omsk Medical Institute named after Mikhail Ivanovich Kalinin, which two years later became the Omsk State Medical Academy (now OmSMU). In Omsk, thanks in part to the excellent instructors of the Department of Normal Anatomy, Aleksey’s desire to connect his future work specifically with this field of medicine grew stronger. After Omsk, fate brought Aleksey to the harsh city of Chelyabinsk, where he completed the remaining four years of study and encountered such fascinating subjects as topographic anatomy and pathological anatomy. There he also began studying forensic medicine. In 2006, he moved permanently to Moscow, where he began working in the best forensic medical examination bureau in Russia — the Moscow Forensic Medical Examination Bureau under the leadership of Professor E. M. Kildyushov. In 2011, Aleksey discovered LiveJournal and created the page mossudmed.livejournal.com. By that time, he had already worked as a forensic medical examiner for 11 years and had formed a definite view of human life, health, bad habits, and human weaknesses. From the very beginning of the blog, Aleksey decided that on LiveJournal he would share his professional observations and, where possible, support them with illustrations for greater clarity. Over five years, mossudmed.livejournal.com gained readers and now consistently ranks among the top ten blogs in the Moscow region and the top twenty blogs in Russia. The blog became so popular that one day Irina Gusinskaya, deputy editor-in-chief of Alpina Publisher, approached Aleksey with a proposal to write a book. Thanks to her exceptional enthusiasm and patience, the book Autopsy Will Show: Notes of an Enthusiastic Forensic Medical Examiner came into being.
