"A student of Makarov V.G. Mosiyants recalls how once scientists from Japan came to Stavropol, who heard about M. S. Makarov's work in this area. They asked the leadership of the medical institute to show them M. S. Makarov's laboratory, but since Mikhail Sergeevich studied at home, the guests were refused, referring to the fact that Professor Makarov is currently on a business trip. "

But here is another indicative episode from her life: "In 1942, just before the capture of Stavropol by fascist troops, Magdalena Petrovna was in Moscow on a business trip. But, having learned by phone about the rapid approach of enemy troops to the city, she found a way as soon as possible Risking her life, MP Pokrovskaya in a matter of hours before the commissioning of the regional center managed to load and take out in an old lorry in Frunze (now Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan) materials related to the development of an anti-tularemia vaccine "(On the activities of the Stavropol anti-plague station in period of the Great Patriotic War 1941-1945)
