G.I. Rossolimo Boarding School No. 49 is a boarding school for orphans with mental disabilities, located in Moscow. Founded in 1873, initially known as the St. Mary's Shelter (Russian: Убежище Святой Марии, translit. Ubyezhishchye Svatoy Mariy), served as a center for research in child psychopathology under the direction of G.I. Rossolimo. It was named for him in 1928.
St. Mary's Shelter was founded in 1873 through the efforts of a well-known philanthropist and pediatrician Varvara Evgrafovna Chertovaya (1805–1903), and N.A.Tolskogo (1832–1891), a professor at a Moscow University. The shelter accepted children as young as the age of five who suffered from dementia, epilepsy, and blindness. The number of children was gradually increasing and by 1907 had reached 62. The institution was a charity organisation and was supported by private donations.
In 1909, a neuropathologist who focused on defects in children, Grigory Ivanovich Rossolimo (1860–1928) became the chief organizer of the developmental and pedagogical process. Under his leadership, the orphans were divided into two groups. The first group, composed of intellectually disabled children, was under the supervision of a caretaker and several nurses. Upon reaching 18 years of age the children from this group were further divided among specialised psychiatric hospitals. Children with other intellectual disabilities were put in the second group, where they would receive a specialized educational program developed by Rossolimo. The basis of the programme was manufacturing, although other subjects were included. In addition, the shelter studied the nervous systems of the child-patients. It also conducted psychological research. The activity of Rossolimo at the shelter was highly praised by the renowned physician and educator V.P. Kaschenko.
After the October Revolution, the shelter came under direct management by the state and was converted into an orphanage, under the name "Children's Home No. 13" (Russian: детский дом № 13, translit. Dyetskii Dom Nomer Trinadtset). From 1925-1952, the new director V.P. Knyazeva worked to maintain the pre-revolutionary traditions and achievements. In 1928, the institution was named after Grigory Ivanovich Rossolimo.
