Lifelong memories
The
commemorative event in honor of the 120th anniversary since the birth of the
first rector of KSMI, Honored Doctor, Honorary Citizen of Karaganda Pyotr
Moiseevich Pospelov, was warm and memorable. It was held on November 10, 2023,
at the Karaganda Medical University, with numerous guests of the older
generation from Kazakhstan and abroad.
The planning for this meeting began at the university a long time ago: everything was planned down to the last detail, and the most important aspect was to invite all graduates from the period of Pyotr Moiseevich Pospelov's activities, his successors, who revered his legacy.
In her welcoming speech, Chairman of the Board-Rector A.A. Turmukhambetova stated that Alma Mater is strongly associated with the name of Pyotr Moiseevich, the founder of our University, for all of us. This is a man who built traditions and principles of service to the people of our country, and for whom the quality of education is the most important aspect of university activities. Pyotr Moiseevich paved the way for several of our outstanding graduates, including T. Sh. Sharmanov.
A lot has been said at the meeting about the first rector of KSMI's vitality and outstanding human traits, which made him adored by students and admired by the entire Institute employees. Meiram Bayzrakhmanovich Turgunov, a 1961 KSMI graduate and oncologist surgeon whose 30 years of life were spent close to the institute's first rector, shared certain facts showing P. M. Pospelov's outspoken influence among students and teachers.
Zinaida Semenovna Pospelova, the spouse of Pyotr Moiseevich's son, greeted the attendees remotely and sincerely thanked the organizers for such a large-scale memorial evening. She was unable to come to Karaganda from Russia and sent a video message.
The song "Tugan Zher" ("Motherland") performed by the Language Development Center's Head Marina Abilzhanovna Maretbayeva and Professor Valeriya Alekseevna Burmistrova sounded great.
As always, the 1974 KSMU graduate, lead singer of the student pop group "Pulse", MD, Professor Farida Anvarovna Mindubayeva performed the song "Подмосковные вечерa" ("Moscow evenings") in a unique manner.
The meeting was held at a high level and left a lot of good emotions among all those present, thanks to the main organizers of the meeting - the staff of the School of Public Health and other departments of the university, excellent presenters: Professor Vilen Borisovich Molotov-Luchansky, head of the museum Nailya Fuatbekovna Saifulina and head of the Language Center Marina Abilzhanovna Maretbayeva.
