One of the most authoritative research universities in the country - the Russian State Medical University. Its history began in 1906, when the progressive public influenced the decision of the authorities to organize the Moscow Women's Courses. After some time, the courses were transformed, and the 2nd Moscow State University began its work, the medical faculty of which in 1930 became the basis for the creation of a medical institute, which in 1956 received the name of the great doctor N. I. Pirogov.
New time
Since the Russian State Medical University has long played a leading role as a scientificmedical, educational and methodological and medical center of the country, in November 1991 the medical institute became a university, and in 2010 the only university of this profile received the status of a national research university.
In 2011, the name was renamed again - in connection with the receipt of a new status. Now it is called Pirogov Russian National Research University.
Museum
Everything that happened to this educational institution for such a long time (more than a century!), You can find out in detail in the university museum, which was organized in 1981. A visit to the Museum of the History of RNRMU is an interesting pastime, students and applicants willingly study the exposition dedicated to the most different periods of the university's activity. The museum is located in the main building of the university at the address: Moscow, Ostrovityanova street, building 1, on the fourth floor.
In it you can trace the entire history of Russian medicine and even the entire development of the country, because the Russian State Medical University throughout its activity shared life's vicissitudes, hardships, wars, revolutions, participated in the same achievements and suffered the same losses, sharing with the country, life in all its manifestations, which will be discussed very briefly below. There are so many historical details of the very long life of the university in the museum that even a book would be small for them.
Milestones
In May, back in 1872, Count D. A. Tolstoy, being the Minister of Public Education, agreed to the opening of the Moscow Higher Women's Courses. This private educational institution was approved by a special regulation. Thus, on November 1, in the building of the men's gymnasium on Volkhonka, the country's first courses for women by Professor V. I. Ger'e were solemnly opened. There were at least seventy students in the first year of study, and by 1885 their number had grown to two hundred and fifty.
At first, female students studied for two years, but in 1879 a new charter was written, and the classes lasted another year. The Moscow courses, from which the Russian State Medical University subsequently grew, had a historical and philological course, the female students studied general and Russian history, world and Russian literature, the history of civilization and the history of art. The former compulsory physics, mathematics, astronomy and hygiene were abolished in 1879, and in 1881 a new subject appeared - the history of philosophy.
Medicine
On Volkhonka, the courses worked until 1873, then they moved to the Museum of Applied Knowledge - Prechistenka, and in 1877 they began to study in a building built specifically as a polytechnic museum. And only in 1906 the next charter of the MVZhK appeared, where the opening of a new faculty, the medical one, was fixed. By that time, the physical and mathematical one had already been added to the first - historical and philosophical.
Now the courses really became the basis on which the Russian State Medical University was built. In September 1906, the first lecture was held at the new faculty, and in 1908 an anatomical theater was opened for medical students, which later became the anatomical building of the 2nd Moscow Medical Institute. In the spring of 1912, the very first graduation of the first female doctors in Russia had already taken place. There were so far few of them - no more than two hundred people.
After the revolution
In October 1918, the Collegium of the People's Commissariat of Education established the transformation of higher women's courses into the 2nd State University, a mixed educational institution. There were still three faculties in the newly-founded university, the same ones, but two years later a scientific society was already opened at the medical faculty. In 1921, medical students organized a commission to combat child homelessness and fight hunger and opened an orphanage at their own expense.
In July 1926, the Faculty of Medicine already held a meeting to select its first graduate students, after which scientific papers on medical subjects began to appear periodically in the press: in 1928, two issues of scientific articles of the Faculty of Medicine were published. And in 1930, the People's Commissariat of Education issued an order by which the university was reorganized into three completely independent institutions. So far, not the Russian State Medical University (RSMU) has appeared, but its prototype - the 2nd Moscow Medical Institute.
Independence
In 1930, the faculty was again reorganized into a medical and prophylactic one, and in addition, a second one was opened nearby. Rather, the firstthe very first in the country and in the whole world practice! It was the faculty of motherhood, infancy and childhood. The future Russian State Medical University of Roszdrav continued to grow. In December 1932, another faculty was opened - medical and physical education.
True, two years later it closed, and the other two faculties were renamed medical and pediatric. But at the same time a new - general medical - theoretical faculty was created. In March 1935, the SSS was created - a student scientific society that still exists. And then it absorbed sixteen thematic circles. A year later, there were two faculties again - the general medical one was abolished.
Pre-war times
Medical students have never left public work for the benefit of the capital and the country, showing exceptionally useful initiatives. So, in 1938, the students of the institute carried out for the first time in the country a preventive examination of the entire population of an entire district of Moscow, and not even the smallest one. The population of the Khamovniki district was put on medical records.
In March 1939, by order of the People's Commissar of Defense, a military faculty that existed until 1944 was formed at the medical institute, supplying military doctors to all fronts of the Great Patriotic War. With the beginning of the war, a huge part of the staff, professors, teachers and students of the institute left as volunteers. In October 1941, some of the rest were evacuated and worked and studied in Omsk until 1943.
Post-war
In 1948, a student of Mechnikov and Pasteur, Honorary Academician N. F. Gamaleyadelivered the first act speech within the walls of the future Pirogov Russian State Medical University. The topic was the most urgent - "Microbacteria of tuberculosis". In 1954, the Central Research Laboratory for Fundamental Medical Research began experiments.
Professors and students continued to participate in all undertakings and help the accomplishments that took place in the country. In 1956, the institute was awarded the medal "For the development of virgin lands", and the following year it was named after Nikolai Ivanovich Pirogov, the great anatomist and surgeon of Russia. In the sixties, an evening faculty appeared with pediatric and medical departments, as well as a medical-biological faculty.
Moving and new achievements
In 1965, the USSR Council of Ministers donated fifteen thousand square meters of educational and laboratory buildings to the institute in the South-West of Moscow, so far without a project and construction, but it was all just around the corner, because this university was extremely valuable for countries. In 1966, he was awarded the Order of Lenin for outstanding services.
Another faculty appeared in 1968. Here teachers improved their skills. He still exists. In 1977, a new one was opened - the faculty of advanced training for doctors. In subsequent years, scientific research institutes were created on the basis of the medical institute: urology, pulmonology and physical and chemical medicine, which served as educational, scientific and industrial, that is, medical complexes.
Rename
In November 1991, the Council of Ministers of the RSFSR transformed the 2nd MOLGMI them. N. I. Pirogov to the Russian State Medical University. It continued to grow: pre-university training was opened at a separate faculty, then, by order of the mayor of Moscow, a Moscow faculty was created to staff the capital's polyclinics and outpatient clinics. The Faculty of Clinical Psychology opens and all the others listed below.
The Russian State Medical University receives a lot of help and support from the government. Moscow willingly uses the space created to expand the creative and scientific boundaries in education. The university is still actively involved in organizing and holding various medical forums, exhibitions, conferences, promoting the capital's medicine to an ever higher level.
One of fifteen
Now the Russian State Medical University of Roszdrav is becoming the largest medical university in the country and one of the largest in Europe. At the same time, more than nine thousand students study here at one hundred and thirty-five educational departments. The composition of professors and teachers - more than one thousand two hundred people in the state.
