History

The Krasnoyarsk State Medical Institute (KSMI) was formed on November 21, 1942 by the decision of the All-Union Committee for Higher School Affairs under the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR and the People's Commissariat of Health of the USSR by merging the Voronezh Dental Institute evacuated to Krasnoyarsk, parts of the 1st Leningrad Medical Institute and the 2nd Leningrad Medical Institute, as well as the Leningrad Pediatric Institute and the Leningrad Dental Institute [2].

During the Great Patriotic War, the first students of the university were taught by the saint, surgeon, professor V.F. Voyno-Yasenetsky[3]. Here he completed his monograph Essays on Purulent Surgery, for which he was awarded the Stalin Prize in 1944.
