The history of RSUH has been the result of work of many outstanding people. It began as the first university in Russia that accepted everybody regardless of class, education or gender. It was philanthropist Alfons Shanyavsky who, in 1905, came up with a plan to create this educational institution and bequeathed his fortune to this purpose.
Now Building 7 of RSUH is located at Miusskaya Square 6. There, next the stairs leading to the museum on the first floor, there is a bust of Alfons Shanyavsky.
The street, on which the main building of RSUH is located, is named after Dr. Alexander Chayanov, a versatile scientist and writer, author of mystical novels and classical works on cooperation.
