Original research The crisis of existential separation in higher education: from instrumental reduction to shared community
Morgun AN
The article explores the crisis of lacking the meaningful connection between teachers and students as a systemic problem of modern higher education. The author shows that current Russian legislation, specifically Federal Law No. 273-FZ, establishes the subject-object educational model, where a teacher is perceived as a mere service provider, whereas the student is treated as the only beneficiary of the educational outcome. A codification vacuum is observed. Under these conditions, any alternative models of educational relations (dialogue-based, intersubjective, event-related) are still not institutionally conceivable. Surveys of global and domestic literature indicate that existential separation is a systemic effect of the dominant subject-object educational model. This challenge is addressed through personal theories rather than established standards. Building an intersubjective (shared) academic community in a single cultural and semiotic space of the university is a practical solution to the existing challenge. An empirical study of the motivational and value profiles among medical students (n=659), utilizing k-means method, that either foster or obstruct the development of an educational community, highlights distinct divisions within the student population. Thus, the ontological group (49.4%) shares the semantic foundations of education and is ready to work together as members of a community; the inverse group (50.6%) exhibits instrumental alienation through utilitarianism or conformism. It is concluded that establishing an educational community cannot be a universal strategy and demands an individual approach. The regulations establishing the codification foundations for securing educational environments and overcoming institutional alienation are being examined.

Original research Maria V. Raskina, a graduate of the Moscow Higher Courses For Women: life path, scientific heritage and the phenomenon of daily service in russian pediatrics of the XX century
Rapoport IrinaKalmanovna, Skoblina NA, Kulyapina MariaAlexandrovna
Examining the biographies of female physicians who were the first to advocate for higher education for women provides valuable insights into the history of Russian medicine. The careers of these female physicians may illustrate the changes within medical training in the late 19th and early 20th centuries, as well as their growing involvement in scientific, pedagogical, and public spheres. This study examines and analyzes the life path of Maria Veniaminovna Raskina, a graduate of the Moscow Higher Courses for Women (MHCW), that demonstrates the professional development of a female doctor who received her medical degree in the Russian Empire. To clarify biographical details, we examined open sources, family archives, the MHCW graduation photo album, publications by M. V. Raskina, and information from bibliographic databases that allows you to reconstruct her scientific interests and professional social circle. The life of a pediatrician, researcher, and high school teacher M. V. Raskina is closely connected with the establishment of Pirogov University, the origins of which date back to the Moscow Higher Women’s Courses transitioning to the Faculty of Medicine at the 2nd Moscow State University before becoming the 2nd Moscow State Medical Institute. The fate of M. V. Raskina illustrates the continuity between the MHCW and the Soviet Higher Medical School and the role of a woman in the development of Russian medicine and medical pedagogy. She was a researcher whose commitment to the profession and scientific research was demonstrated through dedicated public service.

Original research Medical education and shaping physicians’ ethical and moral frameworks
Zakharova IrinaAleksandrovna, Kovtyukh GS, Falaleev PI
The article considers the fundamental issue of inseparability of professional training and moral development within the system of higher medical education. The relevance of the study is driven by the challenges of the 21st century such as rapid expansion of information technologies, advancement of artificial intelligence and commercialization of healthcare. It necessitates the need to foster stable ethical guidelines among future specialists. It is explained that a modern medical career demands a synthesis of specialized knowledge and a broad, human-centric thought, ensuring both high performance and a strong sense of social duty. Particular emphasis is placed on analyzing the pedagogical and philosophical heritage of Pirogov NI. A detailed analysis of Pirogov’s concept of universal human upbringing is presented. The text highlights Pirogov’s focus on fostering inner human growth and cultural awareness, prioritizing it over narrow specialization. The article demonstrates how these ideals have been consistently upheld across generations of prominent Russian medical practitioners such as Mudrov MY, Petrov NN and Petrovsky BV, forming the foundation of the national deontological doctrine. Considerable attention was directed toward effective implementation of “Pirogov’s spirit” tenets within the modern academic landscape of Pirogov Russian National Research Medical University. It is concluded that fostering a new generation of medical intellectuals necessitates a synthesis of science, culture, and upbringing, ensuring they blend professional innovation with traditional humanistic values.

Original research Training mid-level personnel in the Orenburg region for emergency response
Bulycheva EV, Trofimova OlgaVladimirovna, Lutsai ED
This paper outlines the experience in development and implementation of a framework designed to equip mid-level health professionals in the Orenburg region to deliver medical aid in emergency situations. In 2025, the Nursing Department of the Orenburg State Medical University of the Russian Ministry of Health implemented a highly adaptive framework to train nurses and paramedics. This innovative methodology integrated interactive lectures, practical clinical simulations, collaborative workshops, and a structured feedback loop. Based on the initial questionnaire, key knowledge and skill gaps were identified such as triage, care for radiation and chemical injuries, management of traumatic shock and crush syndrome. The final survey showed high listener satisfaction, with 95 % awarding a top score of 5, and 100 % readiness to recommend this training to colleagues. Research substantiates the need for an adaptable educational framework and participatory instructional strategies to better equip professionals for crisis scenarios.
