Story

The Russian State Humanitarian University (RGGU) was organized in March 1991 on the basis of.

Another component that joined the Russian State Humanitarian University was the Moscow City People's University named after A. L. Shanyavsky - one of the most progressive pre-revolutionary higher education institutions. educational institutions, open to people of all classes and genders (existed from 1919). From 1932 to 1932, Shanyavsky University was reorganized into the “Communist University named after Ya. M. Sverdlov”. From 1939, the same university was renamed the Higher Communist Agricultural University, and from 1991 it was called the Higher Party School under the CPSU Central Committee.

On September 16, 2016, 12 employees left the Institute of Psychology en masse due to the plans of the new rector of the university, Evgeniy Ivakhnenko, to optimize the staff and increase the workload on teachers. The practice of introducing annual contracts with teachers has spread at the university, and the load on a teacher’s salary has reached 900 hours per year (and 600 hours of extracurricular work).

Since September 2017, the post of acting rector who replaced E.N. Ivakhnenko, is occupied by A. B. Bezborodov, who has set a course to improve the university’s position in the ranking of higher educational institutions in Russia. The widespread practice of one-year contracts with teachers was abolished, and the workload on the teaching staff was reduced. By order of the Minister of Science and higher education Russian Federation in September 2018, he was appointed rector of the Russian State University for the Humanities.

Criticism [ | ]

Dissertation Council for economic theory at the Russian State University for the Humanities is repeatedly mentioned in Dissernet investigations about “plagiarism in scientific work": "Our favorite expert advice is on economic theory. Here are some of his experts. The scientific secretary of this ES, director of the Institute of Economics and Law of the Russian State University for the Humanities, Nadezhda Ivanovna Arkhipova, is a member of the dissertation council No. 212.198.01. Only on our server there are 54 fake dissertations defended in this dissertation council. Nadezhda Ivanovna herself participated in the “multi-color” defenses of applicant Yu. V. Musarsky and associate professor of the Russian State University for the Humanities L. I. Badrenkova.” According to Dissernet, there were 50 “fake” defenses in this dissertation council.

In 2014, a round table on the problems of plagiarism in science was held at the Russian State University for the Humanities. According to the report of Sergei Parkhomenko, in the dissertation council D 212.198.01 on economic sciences at the Russian State University for the Humanities there was a “dissertation factory of Professor Fyodor Sterlikov”, producing dissertations containing plagiarism. Among the plagiarists in the report, the head of the Department of Marketing and Advertising of the Russian State University for the Humanities, Professor D. A. Shevchenko was also mentioned. The university created an anti-plagiarism commission to review dissertations of former and current employees of the Russian State University for the Humanities, which was liquidated under rector Evgeniy Ivakhnenko.

In May 2015, RSUH teachers wrote an open letter to Rector E.I. Pivovar, in which they criticized the humiliating, in their opinion, practice of concluding annual contracts with teachers, according to which teachers do not receive salaries for the summer months. The letter also criticizes the lack of moral condemnation and the necessary administrative response to dissertations defended at the Russian State University for the Humanities that contain massive plagiarism. In total, the letter was signed by 105 people, including 74 researchers from the Russian State University for the Humanities and 3 academicians of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The meeting of teachers with the rector on May 27 ended with the rector's refusal to answer the teachers' questions and his early departure from the meeting.

Nikolai Belov, who worked with former rector Yuri Afanasyev from 1988 until his last day, including many years as an assistant to the rector, sharply criticizes the current leadership of the university. According to him, the university has turned into a loose conglomerate of structures, the library exists incomprehensibly, and the first-class publishing house has been destroyed. Teachers' salaries are being delayed, which was not the case even in the roaring nineties. According to the new Charter, the elections have turned “into an outright farce”: the Academic Council, which elects the rector, actually forms the current acting one. O. rector Belov also notes that the Charter of the university could only be changed by the RSUH Conference, which did not exist. Since the Charter was nevertheless changed, this fact falls under Article 292 of the Criminal Code (“Official forgery”).

Students of the Russian State Humanitarian University (RGGU) held a flash mob in the very center of Moscow to protest against the eviction of the Russian State University for the Humanities from buildings on Nikolskaya Street.

The Russian State Humanitarian University (RGGU) was created on the basis of the Moscow State Institute of History and Archives by decree of the Government of the Russian Federation of March 27, 1991.

In its activities, the University relies on the experience of two unique Russian educational institutions - Moscow People's University named after A.L. Shanyavsky (the building of Shanyavsky University is part of the main building of the Russian State University for the Humanities) and the Moscow State Institute of History and Archives.

All levels of education are represented at RSUH: pre-university, secondary vocational, higher, second higher, postgraduate, doctoral studies.

The structure of the Russian State University for the Humanities includes nine educational institutions(historical and archival; economics, management and law; psychology named after L. S. Vygotsky; mass media; linguistics; information sciences and security technologies; philology and history; oriental cultures and antiquity; new educational technologies), 11 faculties, 65 departments. In addition, there are: the Center for Pre-University Education, five international educational and scientific centers, the Educational Art Museum, created jointly with the State Museum fine arts them. A. S. Pushkina, Science Library, Center for Acquisition of Russian University Libraries with Foreign Literature, Center for the Conservation of Documents of Russian University Libraries, Educational and Scientific Center “History of Science and New Technologies of Education”, etc.

More than 10 thousand students study at the Russian State University for the Humanities in the main division and about 20 thousand in the branches. The university's teaching staff includes almost 500 full-time teachers and about 200 part-time teachers, specialists from institutions of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Moscow universities and other scientific institutions. RSUH employs 27 academicians, seven corresponding members of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 115 professors and doctors, 310 candidates of science.

RSUH trains students in professional educational programs of 22 specialties and 12 areas of training, including oriental studies, religious studies, history, political science, historical and archival studies, museology, management, world economics, philosophy, philology, psychology, intelligent systems and journalism. About 300 graduate students study in 36 specialties in the graduate school of the Russian State University for the Humanities. The university has doctoral studies and 11 specialized dissertation councils, five of which are dedicated to defending doctoral dissertations.

Rector of the Russian State University for the Humanities - Efim Iosifovich Pivovar (elected by secret ballot and approved on March 15, 2006 by the university conference of the Russian State University for the Humanities).

The Historical and Archival Institute of the Russian State University for the Humanities is located at 15 Nikolskaya Street. The building attracts attention with its unique architecture in the Russian Gothic style - it was built in 1810-1814 by the architect I. Mironovsky for the Synodal Printing House. The building is decorated with two spiers. On the façade there is a sundial, and above it there are bas-relief images of a Lion and a Unicorn, symbols of royal power and might. This is the coat of arms of the Sovereign Printing House, borrowed from the personal seal of Ivan the Terrible. It was not by chance that it appeared on the printing house building: in this place in the 16th century there was the Sovereign Printing House. Here in 1564, Ivan Fedorov and Pyotr Mstislavets issued the first Russian printed book“Apostle”, and in 1703 the masters of the Printing House published the first Russian newspaper “Vedomosti”.

Teacher about the university

Ekaterina Dmitrieva Associate Professor, Department of Comparative Literary History, IFI RSUH, Senior Researcher, IMLI RAS

“The Russian State University for the Humanities, created in the early 1990s on the basis of the Institute of History and Archives as a palliative (and perhaps even a competitor) to Moscow State University in the field of humanities education, seems to still continue to be so. Of course, there are no others - from those who in the same 1990s created the glory of the Russian State University for the Humanities - but there are many others whose names are joyfully recognized, it is worth opening the list of teachers on the website. And most importantly, there is an atmosphere of free search, which is equally important for both the student and the teacher. Recently, while visiting, I accidentally heard an opinion about the university, which, as it turns out, has now become almost commonplace. Moscow State University - to find a profession, Russian State University for the Humanities - to find oneself in a profession. I think that this is true for two reasons: the presence of a large number of scientific centers that have already received the status of institutes, and, it seems to me, the possibility of obtaining a double specialization in Slavic studies and Western studies, which presupposes knowledge of different languages, is very important for students of East Philosophy, where I myself teach. and cultures, and most importantly, leaving freedom of choice.”

Specialties with the highest passing scores in 2012

Foreign Regional Studies

The most popular destination in recent entrance exams. Foreign regional studies are taught at the department of international relations and foreign regional studies at the Institute of History and Archives. Much attention is paid there foreign languages and close cooperation with training centers those countries that students are researching. There is the possibility of internships abroad.

International relationships

International relations, as they say, are a trend, and not only at the Russian State University for the Humanities, of course. From year to year, there remains a steady demand for this area. Students - in addition to general professional subjects - will have to study both humanities and socio-economic disciplines, as well as mathematics, computer science and even natural science.

The most expensive specialty

International relationships

International relations leads both the lists of high passing grades and the lists of expensive majors. This is understandable: students can do internships at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, State Duma, at the embassies of foreign countries or the tax service.

Journalism

The Faculty of Journalism has the Department of Journalism, the Department of Television, Radio and Internet Technologies and the Department of Literary Criticism. There is an opinion that the Russian State University for the Humanities tries to pay great attention to the practical component of the profession.

The most mysterious specialty

Specialist in working with technotronic documentary heritage

This is taught at the Department of Audiovisual Documents and Archives, or ADA for short. Graduates of this department are “professionals with the necessary skills in creating, storing and distributing film, photo, audio and video information.”

3 important news of recent years

In June 2012, the Rossiya-1 TV channel showed a story in which journalists talked about violations in the admission of students and facts of bribery. It seems that the Russian State University for the Humanities conducted an internal audit and said that those teachers who were mentioned in the story no longer work at the university.

In the fall of 2010, the building of the Russian State University for the Humanities on Miusskaya was mined every Wednesday for several weeks. The perpetrators were never found.

In March 2011, the Educational and Scientific Laboratory named after. D.A. Prigova. The laboratory organizes lectures and training courses dedicated to Prigov, forms an electronic archive of his works, conducts “Prigov Readings” and supports research into his work.

Library

Almost the only structure of the Russian State University for the Humanities, which, as students say, is difficult to find fault with. A very large fund that allows even junior philologists to cope with the program without the help of Leninka. A systematized electronic catalog, a media library, and even a rare books department, where you can find things like correspondence between Karamzin and Lavater.

Main hangout spot

This, of course, is a courtyard formed by the buildings of the main building of the Russian State University for the Humanities. There is Wi-Fi here, trees have been planted, there are benches, and in the spring and summer they open a veranda and a cafeteria window. There is also a smoking room here - a rather unpleasant glassed-in room with a coffee machine, but without ventilation.

Dining room

As the students say, a few years ago their favorite canteen underwent a rebranding and instead of excellent chicken broths for 30 rubles they now offer, for example, Caesar with yellowed leaves. Now a full lunch in the student canteen costs the same as several business lunches. During breaks, many students run to nearby establishments like “Two Sticks” or “Daily Bread”, “ABC of Taste” or “Magnolia”. Anyone who fails to do this is forced to leave their entire stipend there during one trip to the canteen. It has three halls: a small one for teachers and staff and two large ones for students - six-meter ceilings, huge windows and counters with yoghurts, coffee, freshly squeezed juices, sandwiches and buns.

Students about the university

Tonya Krupnova
Faculty of History and Philology, 5th year

“When I decided to become a historian in the ninth grade, my parents immediately said: “So, you’ll go to the Russian State University for the Humanities.” By the end of school, my interests changed somewhat, and as a result I ended up studying philology at the Historical and Philological Institute. And I was right. My teachers were the most prominent humanities scholars, and my classmates were the most talented people imaginable. At the Russian State University for the Humanities, like at any other big university, which combines many different specialties, has its strengths and weaknesses. It is the humanities that, due to historical circumstances, constitute the main pride and value of the university. The Institute of History and Archives, History of Art and, finally, my Institute of History and Philology - they are the ones that are worth going to the Russian State University for the Humanities. I’m not sure that the same can be said about economics or management - you have to go to specialized universities for them, and not to us. True, I have a feeling that at the Russian State University for the Humanities there is too much unnecessary stuff and they put too much emphasis on the wrong things. It would be worth supporting the humanities - they are the ones who made the name of the university. Instead, salaries are cut, and teachers, understandably, go to work at other universities. If everything continues in the same spirit, then I’m not sure that RSUH will be able to maintain its position as the largest humanitarian university in the country.”

Dima Carriers
Institute of Linguistics, 4th year

“It’s difficult for me to talk about the entire Russian State University for the Humanities as a whole: judging by my friends from other faculties, the only thing they all have in common is a mess in the schedule, when, for example, there may be five classes in a row on Monday, and one on Tuesday, and always in the middle of the day. About my department - the Institute of Linguistics - I can say that almost all of our studies are structured in such a way that in the end knowledge is acquired by those who seriously strive for it: if someone is not interested in linguistics, then they can hold out until the fifth year, no without going into too much detail; It is quite difficult to get expelled. Moreover, if you really want to learn something, then there are all the conditions for this too. That is, all lectures and seminars work, in a sense, as the first step - and then you yourself need to make at least some initial effort in the right direction: approach the lecturer, ask questions, borrow books from the library, sign up for a special course.”

Nastya Kameneva
Faculty of History and Philology, 3rd year

“I don’t know how to describe the Russian State University for the Humanities. Yes, this is an inconvenient schedule, problems with the availability of free audiences, and often a general atmosphere of slight madness. A session that begins quietly in the middle of the semester and does not necessarily end with its end. Unimaginable names of Wi-Fi access points, secret locations throughout the territory. After some time, you stop being surprised by anything at all and begin to treat your university with both irony and tenderness. However, speaking seriously, at the Russian State University for the Humanities there really is an opportunity to get a decent education. There are many strong departments, for example, the Department of German Philology of the Institute of Philology of the Russian State University for the Humanities, where I study German and related disciplines. There are many excellent teachers, for the sake of classes with whom you can endure inconveniences in the schedule. Students develop warm relationships with most of them, and this is probably the most valuable thing.”
