Biography[edit]

Born into the family of a poor priest of the Vologda nunnery on March 23 (April 3), 1776. Was the fourth son. In 1794, after studying at the Vologda Theological Seminary, he was admitted, on the recommendation of F.F. Keresturi, he entered the senior (rector's) class of the university gymnasium and in 1796 he was transferred to the first year of the medical faculty of Moscow University. During his studies, on the recommendation of F.G. Politkovsky, he was invited to treat the 11-year-old daughter of Kh. A. Chebotarev, Sophia, who was ill with smallpox, whom he later married.

In 1800 he graduated from the Faculty of Medicine of the University with two gold medals. Before leaving abroad in 1802, he attended the Medical-Surgical Academy and worked as a doctor at the Naval Hospital. According to some reports, at this time he was admitted to Riga as a Freemason. Abroad, he attended lectures at the University of Berlin with Professor Hufeland, in Hamburg - with Professor Rechlaub, in Göttingen - with Richter, in Vienna Mudrov studied eye diseases under the guidance of Professor Beer. He also lived for four years in Paris, listening to lectures by professors Portal, Pinel, Boye and others.

Abroad, Matvey Yakovlevich wrote the essay "De spontanea plaucentae solutione" ("On the spontaneous discharge of the placenta"), which he sent to the Moscow Institute; in 1804 he received a doctorate in medicine for this, and on August 2, 1805, he was appointed professor extraordinary at the university. In 1807, on his return to Moscow, Mudrov was detained by order of the government in Vilno, where he headed a department of the main military hospital and distinguished himself by successfully treating bloody diarrhea, which the Russian army suffered. Here he also wrote in French a work on military field surgery: "Principles of military pathology ...".

In June 1808, Mudrov returned to Moscow and began to teach Moscow University a completely new course in military medicine. In July, he delivered an act speech "On the benefits and items of military hygiene, or science to maintain the health of military personnel", which turned out to be so relevant that it was printed and reprinted twice (in 1813 and 1826). Since April 1809, he was an ordinary professor of pathology, therapy and clinics and director of the Clinical Institute (instead of F.G. Politkovsky, who left due to illness). In 1812, he traveled with the rector Geim and professors Chebotarev, Strakhov and Romodanovsky, and with the pupils of the gymnasium went to Nizhny Novgorod; after the liberation of Moscow from the enemy, he put a lot of effort into the renewal of the anatomical audience and the restoration of the medical faculty.

On the day of the renovation of the Faculty of Medicine - October 13, 1813 - Mudrov pronounced "A Word about the piety and moral qualities of the Hippocratic physician", in which for the first time in the history of Russia the teachings of Hippocrates were read out in Russian (he was the first to translate "Hippocrates collection" (Latin "Corpus Hippocraticum ") into Russian). At the same time, in 1813-1817, he was an ordinary professor of pathology, therapy and clinic in the Moscow branch of the Medical-Surgical Academy, where he opened a clinical institute. He was repeatedly elected Dean of the Faculty of Medicine (1812-1815, 1819-1820, 1825-1827 and 1828-1830). Also, thanks to the efforts of Mudrov, the church of St. John Climacus in the Ivan the Great Bell Tower, consecrated in 1822. In 1828, Mudrov left the post of director of the Clinical Institute.

Mudrov exerted a serious moral influence on students. In an effort to embody the "ideal of the Hippocratic doctor" in his students, Mudrov urged them to be compassionate and merciful, to treat patients humanely, while being a vivid example to follow. All activity of Mudrov as a doctor was permeated by the Christian idea of helping one's neighbor. In the first third of the 19th century, Mudrov was the most popular practitioner in Moscow - he treated poor patients for free, helped them not only with medicines, but also with everything they needed. In 1830, Mudrov was appointed a member of the Central Commission for the Fight against Cholera. He died of cholera in St. Petersburg. He was buried at the cholera cemetery of the Vyborg side. The grave has not survived; in 1913, G.A. Kolosov found a granite tombstone on the site of a cemetery that was abolished at the end of the 19th century.

In 1878, in the magazine "Russian Starina", a certain P.P. (possibly Pyotr Petrovich Pekarsky) described the location of Mudrov's grave in the cemetery: "To the left of the entrance under three centuries-old fir trees" among the burials of other famous people - Admiral G.A/ Sarychev , engineer-general K. I. Opperman, merchant V. I. Pivovarov. At the end of the 19th century, the cholera cemetery was abolished, and in 1913 the medical historian G.A. Kolosov (1875-1948) found there a lonely granite slab with a half-erased inscription: cholera commission, doctor, professor and director of the Clinical Institute of Moscow University, actual state councilor and various orders of the knight who finished his earthly career after long-term service to mankind in the Christian feat of suppressing aid to those infected with cholera in St. Petersburg and his zeal fell victim to it. "
