Kharkov Medical Institute is actually a Medical School (or Medical
University).

It used to be common in Russia (and in the other ex Eastern Block
countries modelled on the Soviet institutions) to have universities
dedicated to certain selected professions or a discplines. Thus
medical, economical, technical (Polytechnics), agricultural, arts
and other learning institutions are separted >from the local
universities.

It appears that thing have changed nowadays, since visiting Kharkiv
(city's modern Ukrainian name) University English language website,
you would locate a medical school amongst the departments

http://www.univer.kharkov.ua/

It is known as: School of Fundamental Medicine and it hax six
departments. You should probably address medical school dean with
you question at: ffm@medic.univer.kharkov.ua

Hope this help
