As a youth in Soviet Russia, it was very difficult for Oleg to freely plan his future. In 1978 Oleg’s mother gave him the book “Unwanted Elements” by Christiaan Barnard who successfully perform the first heart transplant surgery on December 2^nd, 1967. From his experience reading this chronicle he was inspired to go into medicine and become a Cardio Thoracic Surgeon. Surprisingly he had a chance to work with another Cardio Thoracic legend, Dr. Horace MacVaugh III. Dr. MacVaugh who in 1970 did the first Coronary Artery Shunting successfully. Much later Oleg and Dr. MacVaugh worked together doing Hair Transplants in U.S and other countries.
