The published review is devoted to ten-volume edition entitled Bioethics Library published by Veche publishing house. The series was edited by Academician Chuchalin AG. It consisted of various works related to bioethical issues. The edition is mainly intended for students and teachers of bioethics of Russian medical universities. The series has a wide historical framework. It examines the works by Avicenna and Immanuel Kant, translated books by Sweden researchers Johansson I and Lynøe N. Texts by Russian physicians and thinkers (Berdyayev NA, Veresayev VV, Uglov FG, Botkin ES, Voyno-Yasenetsky VF (St. Luka Krymsky), Pirogov NI, Pavlov IP, Koni AF, Ilyin IA, Metropolitan Antony Surozhsky, etc.) are published as well. A collection of official documents on bioethical regulation is presented as a separate volume. The edition comprises self-evaluation questions. The texts included into the Bioethics Library make the readers familiar with the history of bioethics building and formation as an anthropologic project. Bioethics is based on the value of life and human integrity, it protects the human being and society, and, as a result, possesses regulatory functions. In the edition, special attention is paid to Russian authors and their view of bioethical issues. It is assumed that examination, popularization and content analysis of the series are particularly relevant within the context of national bioethics development.
