Kyiv National Taras Shevchenko University is a classic research university, the leading higher education institution in Ukraine. Its history begins in 1833, when the Imperial University of St. Vladimir was founded on the basis of the Polish Kremenets Lyceum moved to Kyiv. On July 15, 1834, on the day of memory of the Holy Equal-to-the-Apostles Prince Vladimir, the grand opening of the university took place.

The main building of the university (Red Building), built in the classicist style according to the design of the architect Vincent Beretti in 1837-1842, wears the colors of the award ribbon of the Order of St. Vladimir - red and black (red walls, black bases and capitals of the columns). The motto of the same order, “Utilitas, Honor et Gloria” (“Utility, Honor and Glory” translated from Latin), also became the motto of the university.

The first classes at the university began on July 15, 1834. In the 1834-1835 academic year, the university had only one faculty of philosophy with two departments: historical-philological and physical-mathematical. 62 students were enrolled in the first year and classes began at the university on August 28, 1834. In 1835, the Faculty of Law was opened, and in 1841 - the Faculty of Medicine, created on the basis of the Faculty of Medicine of the liquidated Vilnius University (Vilnius). The university operated as part of these four faculties until 1918.

The first rector of the university was a professor at Moscow University, historian and philologist Mikhail Maksimovich. The brilliant poet Taras Shevchenko also worked at the university, holding a position on the university Archaeographic Commission (a temporary commission for considering ancient acts) and being a drawing teacher at the university’s painting school.

Kyiv University at the end of the 19th century. is a powerful training and educational center of pan-European significance. Number of students in 1830-1840s was 500 people, in 1883 there were 1,700 students studying at the university, and already in 1913 their number increased to 5,000. Scientific and teaching work was carried out by 160 professors and associate professors. The university had 45 educational and support institutions: 2 libraries (scientific and student), 2 observatories (astronomical and meteorological), a botanical garden, 4 faculty clinics, 3 hospital and 2 clinical departments at the city hospital, an anatomical theater and 9 laboratories.

In February 1919, the Bolsheviks occupied Kyiv. St. Vladimir University and Kiev Ukrainian State University were merged into one institution - Kiev University - with the main task: training the Soviet intelligentsia. Since 1919, the People's Commissariat of Education began to operate on the territory of Soviet Ukraine, which was responsible for the development of school, secondary and higher education. All so-called “bourgeois relics” were abolished in universities, and they themselves lost all autonomy: university management (rectors, vice-rectors) was eliminated, the position of university commissioner was introduced in their place, in addition, all academic degrees and titles were abolished. The Soviet government aimed at completely subordinating universities to the tasks of the socialist revolution. However, even in such an extremely limited form, universities, in the opinion of the leaders of the People's Commissariat of Education of the Ukrainian SSR, did not have the right to exist. They were declared "bourgeois" centers that had no place in the new communist society.

As a result of these reforms, in 1920, Kiev University (together with other universities in Ukraine) was disbanded. A separate medical institute was organized on the basis of the medical faculty, and the law faculty was transferred to the Institute of National Economy. From the historical-philological, physical-mathematics-natural faculties of the university, the Kyiv Teachers' Institute and the Kyiv Higher Women's Courses, the Higher Institute of Public Education named after M. Dragomanova (since 1926 - Kiev Institute of Public Education).

As a result of a radical reform, higher education in the Ukrainian SSR began to differ significantly from higher education in Soviet Russia. In the RSFSR, universities, although they lost their importance, were not liquidated and operated in Moscow, Leningrad and other cities. Unification in the educational sphere became one of the most important components of the policy of the Soviet government at the turn of the 1920-30s. It was necessary to rebuild the entire higher education system according to a single Russian model.

The lack of classical university education also led to a decrease in the number of scientific and teaching staff, the loss of university educational and scientific traditions and a drop in the overall level of higher education, because for the entire period after the closure of universities, no equivalent replacement was found. In general, the inability of the Soviet government to successfully organize the activities of higher educational institutions without relying on the experience of pre-revolutionary higher education became obvious.
By the resolution of the Collegium of the People's Commissariat of Education of the Ukrainian SSR of January 1, 1933, state universities were restored in Ukraine, among which was Kiev State University, which included 7 faculties. In 1934, the university celebrated its 100th anniversary. In March 1939, in honor of the 125th anniversary of the birth of Taras Shevchenko, the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR named Kyiv State University after him.

However, despite ideological restrictions and repression, on the eve of World War II, Kiev University was among the leading higher educational institutions of the USSR and ranked first among universities in Soviet Ukraine. 4 thousand students studied there, over 300 professors, associate professors, teachers worked at 52 departments, of which 8 academicians and 6 corresponding members of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine, 24 doctors, 65 candidates of sciences. In graduate school, the university trained young highly qualified specialists in 43 specialties.

With the outbreak of hostilities in the summer of 1941, Kiev University was evacuated. Most of the students went to the front, and a significant part of the teachers, together with colleagues from Kharkov State University, continued the educational process within the framework of the United Ukrainian State University in the Kazakh city of Kzyl-Orda. At the same time, attempts were made to organize the work of the university in Nazi-occupied Kyiv, however, the Nazis soon closed the university, many teachers were repressed, and students were sent to forced labor in Germany. During the battles for Kyiv in October-November 1943, the university suffered significant destruction and losses.

Despite the colossal losses, during the post-war decades, the main university in Ukraine managed not only to restore its lost potential, but also to significantly strengthen it. Immediately after the liberation of Kyiv, the revival of the university began. Students and teachers rebuilt the humanities and chemistry buildings on their own, and on January 15, 1944, classes began in the senior courses, and on February 1, in the first. In the summer of 1944, the Kiev group of the United Ukrainian State University, consisting of 146 students, 3 professors, 7 associate professors and 11 teachers, returned from Kzyl-Orda. In the new 1944-45 academic year, almost 1.5 thousand boys and girls were enrolled at the university, and a year later another 2 thousand students joined them. It was possible to resume the work of 80 departments, where 290 professors, associate professors and teachers worked. In 1946, the university had over 3,800 students, 357 professors and teachers.

At the end of the 1940s. The university reached its pre-war level in terms of volume of work. The development of the university was especially rapid in the 1950s. In 1958, Kiev State University already had 11 faculties and about 10 thousand students studied. During 1959-84. The university trained 70 thousand specialists for various sectors of the national economy, science, education and culture.

On April 21, 1994, by Decree of the President of Ukraine L. M. Kravchuk No. 176/94, Kyiv University, the first among universities in Ukraine, was granted “national” status, and on November 25, 1999 by Decree of the President of Ukraine L. D. Kuchma No. 1496/99 The autonomous status of the university has been significantly expanded. On May 5, 2008, Decree of the President of Ukraine V. A. Yushchenko No. 412/2008 was issued, which provided for the transformation of the university into the main educational and scientific center of Ukraine for the training of highly qualified scientific, pedagogical and scientific personnel. On July 29, 2009, by Resolution of the Cabinet of Ministers of Ukraine No. 795, the university was granted the status of an autonomous research national higher education institution, and increased funding was provided for programs for the long-term development of the university.

Based on the order of the People's Commissar of Education of the Ukrainian SSR dated October 18, 1944, the Faculty of International Relations was opened at Kiev University with the aim of training practical workers of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. The faculty was headed in the first post-war years by I. A. Vasilenko and M. P. Ovcharenko. The first head of the department of history of international relations was Professor Alexander Kasimenko, director. After him, it was headed by V. A. Zhebokritsky, Vasily Tarasenko, a diplomat who had previously worked at the Soviet embassy in Washington. In 1962, a department of international law was created at the Faculty of Law and Economics. The Department of International Law and Foreign Legislation, headed by Doctor of Legal Sciences I. I. Lukashuk, was called upon to provide the educational process at the department.

Since 1971, the training of international relations specialists was resumed at the restored Faculty of International Relations and International Law. Structurally, the faculty included the Department of History of International Relations and Foreign Policy, the Department of International Law and Foreign Legislation, and the Department of Russian Language for Foreigners, which had previously been a university-wide department. The deans of the faculty at that time were the founders of scientific schools on international relations and international law, Professor G. M. Tsvetkov, corresponding member of the Academy of Sciences of Ukraine Anatoly Chukhno, associate professor O. K. Eremenko, professors Konstantin Zabigailo, Anton Filipenko, Vladimir Butkevich.

In 1972, the faculty opened the specialty “international economic relations”. Soon a corresponding department was created - international economic relations (headed by professors Viktor Budkin and Anton Filipenko). in 1975, on the basis of the faculty, a correspondence department for advanced training of international lecturers was opened with a two-year training period, headed by associate professor A. I. Ganusets. The department enrolled citizens of Ukraine with higher education who were engaged in lecturing, teaching and research work.

In 1976, the Department of Foreign Languages ​​was created as a structural unit of the faculty, which provided training for domestic students to work as assistant translators, taking into account the specialty of international relations specialists. The first head was Associate Professor I. I. Borisenko. During the period of its functioning (until 1990), the faculty trained more than 3,500 international relations specialists (mainly from among foreigners). Graduates of the faculty formed the basis of the small (at that time) diplomatic corps in Ukraine, laid the foundations of pedagogical and scientific schools in the field of international relations and international law.

Institute of International Relations

On May 4, 1988, the Faculty of International Relations and International Law was reorganized into the Institute of International Relations and International Law, which in December 1990 was renamed the Institute of International Relations.

Story

Base

The university was founded by decree of Nicholas I on November 8, 1833 as Imperial Kyiv University of St.Vladimir, on the basis of the Vilna University and Kremenets Lyceum that were closed after. He also approved the temporary charter and staffing table. According to this charter, the institution was subordinate not only to the Minister of Public Education, but also to the trustee of the Kyiv educational district. The university council annually elected deans of faculties, and they were approved by the minister.

It was the third university on the territory of modern Ukraine after Lviv and Kharkov universities, and the sixth university in the Russian Empire.

Initially, one of the main tasks set for the university was the fight against the Polonized Kyiv intelligentsia, which was persecuted after the defeat of the Polish uprising of 1830-1831. The appeal to Prince Vladimir I, who baptized Rus' according to the Eastern rite, was supposed to symbolize precisely this direction of the university’s activities.

The first classes at the university and its grand opening took place on July 15, St. Vladimir’s Day. The Divine Liturgy was served at the Kiev Pechersk Lavra, after which those present returned to the house rented for study in Pechersk.

According to the charter, a four-year period of study was established. Students took exams at the end of each course, and before graduating from university, those who were especially talented were awarded gold and silver medals.

The most populous faculties at Kiev University in the 19th century were the faculties of law and medicine. In 1859 there were 540 physicians, three times as many as lawyers; since the 60s of the 19th century, the number of lawyers has been growing rapidly, and the number of doctors has been falling; there are twice as many lawyers in the city as doctors; in the city there are almost equal numbers of them, then the number of doctors exceeds lawyers in the city by almost 5 times (785 and 175). The influx of doctors at this time was so great that it was necessary to install a kit for the 1st course. Despite this, by the city there were 1014 doctors.

The number of lawyers also increased rapidly at the end of the 19th century (in 1894 - 932). The number of philologists before the introduction of the statute of 1884 was about 1 ⁄ 9 of all students (in 1883 - 162), then quickly began to fall, and in 1894 there were only 69.

At the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics until 1868 there was 1 ⁄ 4 total number of students, in the city this number decreased to 1 ⁄ 8 , and in 1894 there were 312 people, that is, about 1 ⁄ 7 , and there are 1½ times more natural scientists than mathematicians, whereas before mathematicians predominated.

At first, most of the students were children of nobles (88%), but in 1883 nobles accounted for only 50%. In the 60-70s of the XIX century. democratization of students took place. The commoners gradually replaced the nobles. The progressive democratic students of Kyiv University actively participated in the revolutionary movement. According to official data, of the number of persons brought to trial for participation in the revolutionary struggle against tsarism in 1877, students and students of secondary educational institutions accounted for 50 percent.

Simultaneously with their studies, the struggle continued: Kyiv students took part in the All-Russian student strike of 1899 in protest against police repression at St. Petersburg University.

Kyiv University in the 20th century

In 1900, students protested against the expulsion from the university of participants in a student rally, which resulted in 183 students becoming soldiers.

In November 1910, violent worker and student demonstrations took place in Kyiv in connection with the death of Leo Tolstoy. Among the 107 arrested demonstrators are about a hundred students. In February 1911, an all-Russian student strike took place again.

The First World War put Kiev University in a very difficult position. The military command, not wanting to have rebel students in the rear of the army [ ], gave the order for the evacuation of Kyiv University to the “left bank of the Dnieper”, ultimately to Saratov. The evacuation significantly worsened the students' situation. Due to the relocations, laboratories, offices, and museum collections suffered heavy losses. In the fall of 1916, the university returned to Kyiv.

On the eve of the October Revolution of 1917, about 5,300 students studied at Kiev University.

In 1918, the university was closed and reopened only on March 29, 1919. On April 23, 1919, it became officially known as Kyiv University. In 1920, the university was disbanded, and on its basis the Higher Institute of Public Education named after Mikhail Petrovich Drahomanov (since 1926 - the Kiev Institute of Public Education), as well as institutes of social education, vocational education and physics, chemistry and mathematics were created.

By the resolution of the Collegium of the People's Commissariat of Education of the Ukrainian SSR of January 1, 1933, state universities were restored in Ukraine, among which was Kiev State University, which included 7 faculties. In March 1939, by decree of the Presidium of the USSR Supreme Council, he was named after T. G. Shevchenko (in honor of the 125th anniversary of the latter’s birth). The following year, a new academic building was built to house the humanities departments.

Before the start of the Great Patriotic War, KSU was the third largest university in the USSR (after Moscow and Leningrad). During the war, the university was evacuated first to

The University of Ukraine has the following material and technical base: modern equipment, Botanical Garden, Research Institute of Physiology, Astronomical Observatory, Geological and Zoological Museums, on the basis of which students undergo practical training.

In the conditions of the development of the independent Ukrainian state, new important tasks appeared before the university. They are related to the need to improve the system of training and retraining of specialists. After all, university graduates work in various areas of public life in independent Ukraine. Future specialists should be distinguished, first of all, by national scale of thinking, patriotism and a high level of national consciousness, creative flight of thought, enormous responsibility for the cause, and deep professional knowledge. Those. This is the universality of training in the broad sense that we strive for. This level can be achieved by attracting the brightest minds of the most talented scientists to the educational process, stimulating their work accordingly, and depriving them of unnecessary, and at times incompetent, care from various departments. And for this it is necessary to have the status of an independent higher educational institution in Ukraine. This is exactly the direction we are working in.

The university was named in 1939 in honor of the outstanding Ukrainian poet Taras Shevchenko. After graduating from the St. Petersburg Academy of Arts, he worked here as an employee of the archaeographic commission (1845-46).

Scientists and teachers of Kyiv University have made a worthy contribution to the development of science and socio-political thought in Ukraine.
