The university was founded in 1909 as Imperial University by the Decree of Emperor Nicholas II.[3] On June 10, 1909, the Emperor signed the "Decree on the foundation of the university in Saratov", which became the tenth University in Russia and consisted of the Medical Faculty only. Professor V.I. Razumovsky became the first university rector.[4] In 1930, the Medical Faculty of Saratov University was transformed into an independent institution of higher education, which was known as the Medical Institute.
In 1993, it received the status of a Medical University. In 2009, the university was named after its first rector Vasily Ivanovich Razumovsky.[5]

Among them are the Research Institute of Basic and Clinical Uro-Nephrology, the Central Research Laboratory, the Scientific Educational Centre for Fundamental Medicine and Nanotechnologies, the Medical Technopark, the University Publishing House, the Scientific Medical Library, the Museum of University History, and many other university divisions.

The day-to-day chief executive role is the responsibility of the Prorector, a full-time academic post. The senior management board of the university is headed by the Prorector, assisted by Deans.[citation needed]
