The work showcases the promotion of Romanian lineage - Nicolae Milescu Spătarul (1636-1708) as ancestor of scientist Ilia Ilici Mecinikov (1845-1916), Nobel Laureate (1908).A great figure in world science and bio-medicine, the scientist - creator of two new modernsciences (immunology and gerontology) – is claimed and honoured by four nations: Israeli, French,Russian and Ukrainian. Despite his known Romanian descent on his paternal side – biographicallyconsecrated by his wife Olga Mecinikov – Romania has pushed him into oblivion, by not promotingthis historical truth and reality to all.In our country, Prof. Dr. doc. Ilie Th. Riga (1908-1977) publishes in 1930, in the Romanianmagazine, Natura (Nature), Originea românească a lui Metchnikoff (Metchnikoff’s Romanianorigins). In the 2007-2011 period, two of the authors of the work continuously publish, in thecountry and abroad, thus creating Dosarul ascendenţei româneşti al lui Mecinikov (Mecinikov’sfile on his Romanian lineage), for the global informational civilization. They published their worksin printed version: in scientific magazines (2007, 2011), in their own monograph Medicina antiîmbătrânireşi ştiinţele longevităţii (Anti-aging Medicine and Longevity Sciences), (2007), innewspapers Ziua USA (The Day - USA), (2008) and Clipa.
