Students of Saransk Medical School

Students of Saransk Medical School. 1945. This touching photograph shows a group of students from the Saransk Medical School in 1945, captured at the very end of World War II. Many of these young men and women had lived through years of hardship and loss, yet they looked toward the future with hope and determination.

Saransk, the capital of Mordovia, played its part in the Soviet Union’s vast wartime effort — training medical professionals who would soon help rebuild a nation devastated by war. The photograph reflects a moment of quiet resilience and renewal, where education and service became symbols of recovery and pride.
