Story

During the Great Patriotic War

The rector of the GMI at that time was Konstantin Nikulin. At that time, many curricula were revised, and some of the institute's dormitories were transferred to the city. From his memoirs:

“Now it seems incomprehensible how theoretical departments could provide educational process, having one or two study rooms. There were also "flying departments" that did not have their own premises. They studied in the red corners of the dorms and squeezed into the rooms of other departments in their free time. In overcrowded classrooms, work went on from 8 am to 10 pm in 3-1 shifts. In a barely heated building, with feverish hands, they worked on every test tube, on every drop of reagents. Half-starved students studied purposefully, persistently, with a high sense of responsibility.”

Currently, the university is looking for the names of missing graduates and employees of the GMI during the war. It is known about 82 employees and doctors who died at the front, in partisan detachments, tortured in concentration camps and shot by the Germans.

Post-war period and modern Russia

In 1965, the Military Medical Faculty was opened. On June 15, 1994, the institute received the status of an academy. On February 2, 2018, the academy received the status of a university.

Nizhny Novgorod State Medical Academy (Nizhny State Medical Academy) is one of the oldest and most authoritative medical schools Russia, which has a 90-year history, glorious traditions. In 1920, in order to train "medical personnel from workers and peasants," the government decided to open appropriate faculties at the universities of county towns. But even earlier. On December 21, 1919, the council of the University of Nizhny Novgorod formed a group for the creation of such a faculty, which included professors L.V. Baskov, S.F. Vysotsky, A.F. Gavrilov, A.N. Zidberman, N.F. Solovyov, doctors S.F. Gvozdev, A.N. Kunyaev, N.N. Senyutkin chaired by Professor P.G. Avramova.
The group made an estimate for 1920 and announced a competition for chairs. The faculty solemnly opened on March 21. The most difficult time of post-war devastation and the fight against epidemics was passing. The composition of the first students was very diverse: graduates of secondary schools, participants who had seen life civil war and paramedics with considerable medical experience. Admission began immediately for three courses: for I - schoolchildren, for II - students of the biological faculty of the university, for III - persons who had a medical assistant's education. Exams were preceded by an interview to identify knowledge, general development, inclination to the medical profession. Preference was given to people “from workers and peasants.” P.G. became the dean. Avramov. recruited the best practitioners Nizhny Novgorod: L.P., Bibikhina, K.F. Bogush, A.B. Granovsky, V.M. Durmashkina, I.I. Elkina, P.N. Mikhalkina, A.S. Palmova, K.K. Chachkhiani. Many of them later became prominent scientists, doctors of sciences, professors. Professors G.G. arrived. Yuden and V.M. Svyatukhin. In the first years, 32 departments were opened. Some were accommodated in a small two-story house on Napolno-Monastyrskaya Street (former almshouse), called the "anatomical theater", practical classes were held there simultaneously with 50-100 students. The theoretical departments received buildings on Osharskaya Square and the former Institute of Noble Maidens on the Upper Volga Embankment . Hospitals became the bases: provincial, city infectious, psychiatric, Red Cross and maternity hospital on Figner Street. Deanery and public organizations fit in a building on Minin and Pozharsky Square. The conditions were very difficult: the rooms were not heated in winter, there were not enough textbooks. But laboratories and a library were created, students helped in the manufacture teaching aids , preparations. After 5 years of study, exams were taken in 44, and final state exams in 11 disciplines. In 1923, 37 doctors graduated, and in 1925 the first full graduation of 105 people was made. In 1926, the faculty was closed. Two junior courses were distributed to medical faculties of other cities, and three senior students completed their education in Nizhny Novgorod in 1928. The premises and equipment were transferred to scientific and medical institutions. But in 1929 (at the request of the Gubkom and Gubispolkom) the faculty was reopened, and on the basis of the Decree of the Government Commission under the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR of April 14 and the decision of the organizational and liquidation commission of April 29, 1930, the medical faculty of NSU was reorganized into the Nizhny Novgorod Medical Institute (NMI). I had to re-create the base and form the composition of the university. Former teachers of the faculty were partially invited, but new professors also came: F.D. Agafonov, P.K. Anokhin, M.P. Batunin, M.L. Biryukov, G.Ya. Gorodisskaya, I.M. Rybakov, V.D. Semenov. A.I. Shabadash and others. The laboratories were replenished with equipment. On November 8, 1931, the anatomical museum was opened, which became one of the best in the country in terms of exposition. The largest medical institutions have been transferred to clinical departments. For theoretical departments, a building was allocated on Minin and Pozharsky Square (now the main building of the academy), which also housed the administration and the educational part. In 1932, the NMI was renamed the Gorky Medical Institute. In March, the 1st issue of the Nizhny Novgorod Medical Journal was published, the publishers of which were Nizhkrayzdrav, the Medical Institute, the Scientific Medical Association and the Regional Insurance Fund. In October, the first scientific student neurological circle was created; by the end of the year, circles were organized in other departments. The first release of 26 sanitary doctors was made, and in 1931 - 24 surgeons. In 1936, the Council of the Scientific Student Society (NSO) was elected from the circles. The organizer of the first circle, and then the NSO was Professor Kh.I. Garkavy. Before the Great Patriotic War, 38 professors, 25 associate professors, 130 assistants and teachers worked at the institute in 18 theoretical and 18 clinical departments, located in well-equipped medical institutions at that time. To the aid of the first teachers, mostly from local doctors, came professors belonging to the schools of academicians P.P. Pavlova, V.P. Vorobiev, A.V. Palladina - E.L. Verezov, A.I. Gefter, V.N. Iost, I.M. Rybakov, M.A. Usievich. On the 20th anniversary of the founding of the Gorky Medical Institute, by the Decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the RSFSR of December 25, 1940, it was named after S. M. Kirov, which the university wore until 1994. In 1940-1945, the GMI was headed by associate professor (later - professor) K.G. Nikulin, Professor G.Ya. Gorodisskaya. It was on their shoulders that the burden of leading the institute during the war years fell, since the entire administration consisted, apart from them, of the academic secretary, the dean and three technical secretaries. Students who completed their studies at 4-5 courses became acting doctors and doctors in the army. Many teachers were mobilized, junior students voluntarily went to the front. Teachers A.I. Kozhevnikova, M.V. Kolokoltseva, A.A. Ozhereleva, I.M. Rybakov and others, who also worked in hospitals, were left (and thus retained the leading professorial staff). The military situation led to a revision curricula, two hostels were given to the city, but the output of doctors increased. K.G. Nikulin recalled: “Now it seems incomprehensible how the theoretical departments could provide the educational process, having one or two study rooms each. There were also "flying departments" that did not have their own premises. They studied in the red corners of the dorms and squeezed into the rooms of other departments in their free time. In overcrowded classrooms, work went on from 8 am to 10 pm in 3-1 shifts. In a barely heated building, with feverish hands, they worked on every test tube, on every drop of reagents. The half-starved students studied purposefully, stubbornly, with a high sense of responsibility.” The students responded from their studies to the construction of defensive structures, worked in hospitals, at a blood transfusion station, helped to examine houses to prevent infectious diseases, trained nurses, studied anti-chemical and air defense. In December 1941, the staff of the institute worked 2731 man-days on the construction of a defensive line near the town of Pavlovo. Employees donated their last savings and deducted funds from their salaries to fight the enemy. On July 10, 1941, at evacuation center No. 41, a consulting bureau was created to work in 143 hospitals with 58,000 beds deployed throughout the city and region. It included university professors and teachers: K.P. Alekseev, M.P. Batunin, M.L. Biryukov, S.A. Vinnik, V.A. Vyatkin, A.I. Gefter, Ya.G. Ilyon, N.N. Morozkin, P.P. Senyutkin, F.M. Suponitskaya, I.L. Tsimkhes, S.V. Shestakov, N.K. Shifrin, V.I. Shchedrakov and others. Thanks to their efforts, 70% of the wounded returned to duty. Plastic surgeon (later academician) N.N. performed brilliantly in hospitals. Blokhin, cardiac surgeons E.L. Berezov, future academician of the Russian Academy of Medical Sciences B.A. Korolev, neurosurgeon Kh.I. Harkavi and others. The training and scientific work. For high performance in the educational and pedagogical process, medical and scientific activity On May 1, 1943, the Institute was recognized as the winner of the competition of medical universities and received the challenge Red Banner of the People's Commissariat of Health of the USSR. In total, during the war years, 1848 doctors were trained against 1681, released before 1941 during the twenty-year existence of the institute. After the war, a significant part of the students were front-line soldiers, who later formed a galaxy of prominent scientists, teachers and health care organizers. These are honored scientists, professors V.I. Kukosh and V.Yu. Shakhov, Honored Professor of IGMA L.V. Kossovsky, Professor G.M. Pokalev, A.F. Uchugi, E.V. Shakhov, People's Doctor of the USSR O.A. Obukhov, heads of departments of professor A.A. Obukhov, V.I. Parakhopyak, A.A. Chernyavsky, N.E. Yakhontov. The institute also completed their studies of “ordinary doctors” who returned from the front. Time passed, full of achievements. The material base expanded, the educational process improved. The university and its staff received numerous awards and all-Union recognition. On June 15, 1994, the institute received the status of an academy.
