The Civil War events were reflected in the most sad way: the building was partially destroyed, because of which the institution was closed for three years. But during the Great Patriotic War, mud baths, surprisingly, did not suffer. Her premises were used for nursing and restoring injured fighters, and later the baths were located here

The mud baths were given their current name in 1923, when, on the initiative of NA Semashko, then the People's Commissar of Health, a decision was made to reconstruct the health resort.

Returning after the war to work for its intended purpose, the clinic no longer interrupted its activities and functions to this day. The mud bath is equipped with modern equipment and is not inferior in quality to the world-known clinics.
