- History & Memorable Moments
The university was established on January 24, 1724. It is disputed whether Saint Petersburg State University or Moscow State University is the oldest higher education institution in Russia. While the latter was established in 1755, the former, which has been in continuous operation since 1819, claims to be the successor of the university established on January 24, 1724 by a decree of Peter the Great, together with the Academic Gymnasium and Saint Petersburg Academy of Sciences. In the period between 1803 and 1819, the University officially did not exist; the institution founded by Peter the Great - Saint Petersburg Academy - had already been disbanded, whereas the institution that was later used as the basis for Saint Petersburg University was still known as the Main Pedagogical Institute. Since there is some degree of continuity between the Academy, the Pedagogical Institute, and the University, Saint Petersburg State University may be considered the oldest university in Russia.[1]
Like other universities in the Soviet Union, its faculty were purged during various political and ethnic campaigns of the leadership, beginning with the Russian Revolution and continuing through the era of the Great Purge with the killing of Deans of the various faculties, many of them non-Russians who had come after the revolution, and then the "cosmopolitan" quota purges against Jews in the 1950s. The university was awarded the Order of Lenin in 1944 and the Order of the Red Banner of Labour in 1969. As of 2004, the university has a teaching staff of 4,055, and counts seven Nobel Prize winners among its graduates.[1]
