[History of creation of the Pathology Department of the I.M.Sechenov Moscow Medical Academy].

M. Ya. Mudrov was initiator of teaching pathology at the medical faculty of Moscow University. He proposed this in 1805, but regular lectures in this discipline started in 1825 by M. Ya Mudrov and Yu. Kh. Loder. Ten years later, due to Yu. Kh. Loder's activity, pathology became an independent course at the chair of normal anatomy. In 1849, an independent chair of pathology was set up.
