This article analyzes the experience of the professors of the medical faculty at the Imperial Moscow University in the spiritual and moral education of students during the first quarter of the 19th century. The reforms of Alexander I, which reflected the liberal mood of the early years of his reign, impacted education. According to the Charter of 1804, the University received extensive rights related to both the content and organization of the educational process. Particular attention was given to measures promoting the spiritual and moral education of students. Public lectures attended by representatives from different sectors of the population established the University as a center of cultural and scientific life, making it a significant phenomenon in Moscow's social and cultural landscape in the first quarter of the 19th century.
During the Patriotic War of 1812, teachers and students of the Imperial Moscow University’s faculty of medicine distinguished themselves not only on the battlefield. University professors and staff sent money to the front, and graduates of the medical faculty participated in combating the epidemics that spread after the French retreat.
In this period, the Imperial Moscow University was one of the country's intellectual centers. Students of the faculty of medicine (and the entire university) received a broad universal education, and the staff’s work focused on shaping future doctors by imparting modern knowledge, providing essential skills, and fostering the best moral qualities.
