The History of VSMU

Vitebsk State Medical Institute was established as a hospital-medical institute in November 1, 1934 by Resolution of the Council of People’s Commissars of the BSSR. The total number of students on all courses was 250.

MD, Professor Moisei Anisimovich Khazanov, a graduate of the Medical Faculty of the University of Bern (Switzerland) was appointed as the first Rector of the Institute. 12 Professors, wellknown in the USSR and abroad medical scientists, started to work with him: Professor Pavel Markovich Gurevich, a graduate of the University of Strasbourg (Alsace – France), became the first dean. In 1938 a hospital-medical institute was renamed into Vitebsk Medical Institute.

Until 1941 seven turn-outs of physicians was carried out. The Great Patriotic War stalled the development of the Institute for many years. At the beginning of the war the Institute was evacuated to Chelyabinsk, and then in 1943 – to Yaroslavl. Subsequently, Yaroslavl Medical Institute was established on the basis of Vitebsk Medical Institute. In 1944 a part of the Institute staff returned to Minsk and participated in the reconstruction of Minsk Medical Institute. And only in 1946 the Institute returned to its native Vitebsk region. From 1946 to 1950 the Institute was headed by Anisim Ivanovich Savchenko, Deputy Minister of Health of the Byelorussian SSR. In 1948 the student scientific society was created.
