The Pavlov Saint Petersburg State Medical University was founded in September 1897 as the Medical Institute for Women. Money from the family of Lydia Shanyavskaya, a women's rights activist, provided the financial resources to establish the institute. Marta Helena Nobel-Oleinikoff, an alumna of the institute and a niece of Alfred Nobel, also made a big donation in the initial years.
The University has changed names several times since then. It became the Women’s Medical Institute of St. Petersburg in 1918 and renamed as Medical Institute of Leningrad in 1924. It was again renamed in 1936, in honour of Ivan Pavlov.
In 1994 the institute was upgraded to a medical university and inaugurated as Pavlov Saint Petersburg State Medical University. The word was reinstated into its name in 2013.
During the interwar years, the Institute of Chemistry and Pharmacy, and Institute of Pediatrics were established as independent units.
Research
Then, Women's Medical Institute, established the second neurology-related department in the country in 1900 under the direction of Vladimir Bekhterev, who headed the Department of Nervous and Mental Diseases until 1913. It was then divided into departments of psychiatry and neurology. Bekhterev's student M.P. Nikitin took charge of the latter from 1913 to 1937.
