Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University (formerly known as Russian State Medical University or RSMU) is a medical higher education institution in Moscow, Russia founded in 1906. It is fully accredited and recognized by Russia's Ministry of Education and Science and is under the authority of the Ministry of Health and Social Development.^[1] It was named after Russian surgeon and pedagogue N.I. Pirogov (1810-1888).^{[2][better source needed]} In 2024 US News & World Report ranked it #1,563 in the world.^[3]

The revolutionary events of 1917 gave an incentive to a new wave in the history of HMCW. The "Interim Government Herald" (Vestnik Vremennogo Pravitelstva) informed about the legislation of the draft for the transformation of women courses into women universities. However no practical implementation of the legislation followed. On top of that, the study years 1917-1918 started off with huge complications and in November the studies were dismissed. On October 16, 1918, the People's Commisariat Board decreed to transform HMCW into 2nd Moscow State University (2nd MSU), thus becoming a new educational establishment of mixed character without considering the former a separate educational establishment.^{[citation needed]}

2nd MSU existed up to 1930. Later on, as a result of reorganization 3 independent institutes came to existence including 2nd Moscow State Medical Institute (2nd MSMI). Then a period of progressive development started and lasted until the World War. This includes the formation of new departments and faculties. During the early days of war, when the state examinations were over after spring, practically all the graduates were sent to the Red Army Forces. Throughout the war, the institute operated as usual and kept on training specialists. On November 23, 1946, on account of 40 years of its foundation, the USSR Presidium of the Supreme Soviet decree decided to honour the institute with the name of I.V. Stalin. From that year onwards up to 1957, the institute was officially called "2nd MSMI named after I.V. Stalin".^{[citation needed]}

And on May 30, 1957, as a dedication to its 50th year of foundation, the RSFSR Presidium of the Supreme Soviet decree honoured 2nd MSMI with the name of Russian surgeon and anatomist N.I. Pirogov. In 1966, on its 60th anniversary, the institute acquired a new name which was 2nd MOLSMI named after N.I. Pirogov.^{[citation needed]}

In 2024 US News & World Report ranked it # 1,563 in the world. tying with Siberian Federal University.^[3] In 2014, the Russian rating agency "Expert RA" included it in its list of rated universities of higher educational of the Commonwealth of Independent States, assigning it a rating of "D".^{[2][better source needed][5]}
