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.

Story

Base

Nicholas I

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 the Kremenets Lyceum, which were closed after the Polish uprising of 1830-1831. 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.

Imperial University of St. Vladimir

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 1860s, the number of lawyers has increased rapidly, while the number of physicians has fallen; there are twice as many lawyers a year as doctors; per year there are almost equal numbers of them, then the number of doctors exceeds lawyers per year 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 1894 there were 1,014 physicians.

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 she was 1 ⁄ 4 total number of students, in the year this number decreased to 1 ⁄ 8 , and in 1894 there were 312 people, that is, about 1 ⁄ 7 , and there are one and a half 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 1860-1870s, the 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.

In 1884, the government responded to the students’ speech demanding the right to create mutual aid funds, libraries, canteens, elect a student court, and convene a student meeting with brutal repression. The university was closed for six months, 140 students were expelled, and those without parents in Kyiv were expelled. 34 students were brought to trial by the gendarmerie department on charges of distributing proclamations and addresses of a political nature and participating in riots.

At the end of the 1880s, the university had 45 educational and support institutions: 2 libraries (scientific and student), 2 observatories (astronomical and meteorological), botanical garden, 4 faculty clinics, 3 hospital clinics, 2 clinical departments at the city hospital, anatomical theater, 9 laboratories and 21 offices.

In 1859-1870, an amateur theater operated at the university (its members included M. P. Staritsky, N. V. Lysenko, P. P. Chubinsky); In 2008, the 3rd archaeological congress was held in the university building, in which famous domestic and foreign scientists took part.

In 1861-1919, “University News” was published monthly, ten scientific societies functioned: researchers of nature, physico-mathematical, physico-chemical, surgical, historical Nestor the Chronicler, legal, etc.

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

Kyiv University in the 20th century

Yellow building of Kyiv National University

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 university 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.

Nicholas I

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 the Kremenets Lyceum, which were closed after the Polish uprising of 1830-1831. 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.

Imperial University of St. Vladimir

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 1860s, the number of lawyers has increased rapidly, while the number of physicians has fallen; there are twice as many lawyers a year as doctors; per year there are almost equal numbers of them, then the number of doctors exceeds lawyers per year 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 1894 there were 1,014 physicians.

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 she was 1 ⁄ 4 total number of students, in the year this number decreased to 1 ⁄ 8 , and in 1894 there were 312 people, that is, about 1 ⁄ 7 , and there are one and a half 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 1860-1870s, the 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.

In 1884, the government responded to the students’ speech demanding the right to create mutual aid funds, libraries, canteens, elect a student court, and convene a student meeting with brutal repression. The university was closed for six months, 140 students were expelled, and those without parents in Kyiv were expelled. 34 students were brought to trial by the gendarmerie department on charges of distributing proclamations and addresses of a political nature and participating in riots.

At the end of the 1880s, the university had 45 educational and support institutions: 2 libraries (scientific and student), 2 observatories (astronomical and meteorological), botanical garden, 4 faculty clinics, 3 hospital clinics, 2 clinical departments at the city hospital, anatomical theater, 9 laboratories and 21 offices.

In 1859-1870, an amateur theater operated at the university (its members included M. P. Staritsky, N. V. Lysenko, P. P. Chubinsky); In 2008, the 3rd archaeological congress was held in the university building, in which famous domestic and foreign scientists took part.

In 1861-1919, “University News” was published monthly, ten scientific societies functioned: researchers of nature, physico-mathematical, physico-chemical, surgical, historical Nestor the Chronicler, legal, etc.

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

Yellow building of Kyiv National University

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 university 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.
