In 2012, I entered the Faculty of Economics of the Kazan Federal University. Entering KSFEE was my childhood dream, but two years ago several universities were merged into a single KFU, so we are all now one big family of the Kazan Federal. The passing scores for this faculty have always been high - more than 230 points in three subjects, which is quite serious for the Unified State Exam. Fortunately, I scored almost 270, so there were no problems with admission. In general, thanks to the Unified State Examination, corruption...

Kazan Federal University (KFU), former KSU named after. Ulyanov-Lenin, Kazan. One of nine federal universities in Russia since 2010. Great Russian figures studied here: Lenin, Tolstoy, Lobachevsky and others. But over time, a lot changes. What is KFU now? I entered the Faculty of Journalism, now called the Institute of Mass Communications and Social Sciences. In addition to the Unified State Exam, you need to take a creative competition, just like in any other university. The faculty has several...

Kazan University is one of the oldest universities in Russia. Many scientific schools that received worldwide recognition were founded here. Kazan University is included in the list of especially valuable objects cultural heritage peoples Russian Federation, its ensemble is historical, cultural and architectural monument Russia.

Kazan University - from history

It was founded in 1804 and initially there were four faculties - historical and philological and physics and mathematics, medicine and law. Great Russian scientists studied here, among them the creator of non-Euclidean geometry N. I. Lobachevsky, who was the rector of the university from 1827 to 1846, astronomers I. M. Simonov and M. A. Kovalsky, chemists A. M. Butlerov, K. K. Klaus and N. N. Zinin, V. V. Markovnikov and A. M. Zaitsev, biologists and physicians V. M. Bekhterev and P. F. Lesgaft and many others. Among the students of the educational institution are famous historians and revolutionaries, artists and composers.

Kazan University was a center of advanced ideas and revolutionary struggle. In 1887, Vladimir Ulyanov entered the Faculty of Law. He took an active part in organizing a student meeting on December 4, 1917, for which he was expelled from the educational institution. However, despite, or perhaps because of this fact, the University bore the prefix “named after Ulyanov-Lenin” for many years.

On the basis of the educational institution, such Kazan universities as medical and pedagogical, aviation and chemical-technological, agricultural and financial-economic were formed.

In 1925, Kazan University was awarded the title of V.I. Ulyanov-Lenin. In 1955 he was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor, and in 1979 - the Order of Lenin.

In accordance with the Decree of Russian President Dmitry Medvedev dated October 21, 2009, the Volga Federal University was to be created on the basis of KSU. At the same time, students and teachers of KSU came out in favor of preserving the historical name of the university and it was decided to assign the name “Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University” to the reorganized university - KFU.

In 2011, during the reorganization process, the Tatar State Humanitarian and Pedagogical University, the Kazan State Faculty of Finance and Economics and the Yelabuga State Pedagogical University were annexed to the educational institution.

Kazan University – architecture

The ensemble of Kazan University is an urban planning and architectural monument of Russia. The complex of buildings built in the classical style occupies a block along Kremlevskaya Street (formerly Voskresenskaya).

In 1796, the Kazan Imperial Gymnasium was opened in the house for the military governor at the beginning of Voskresenskaya Street. By order of Alexander I of November 5, 1804, the Certificate of Confirmation and the Charter of Kazan University, which was initially located in the same building as the gymnasium, were signed.

Construction of new buildings began in 1822 according to the design of architect P.G. Pyatnitsky. A member of the construction committee, and later the rector of the university, N.I., took a large part in the development of the project. Lobachevsky. A significant contribution to the creation of the university complex was made by architects M.P. Korinfsky and I.P. Bezsonov, M.N. Litvinov and V. Bernhard.

The main building was erected in 1825. Its length was 160 meters. The building is decorated with three porticoes with columns, and in the lobby there are statues of famous personalities. The main staircase led to the assembly hall, decorated in a classical manner, and the church, decorated in the Doric style.

The center of the development in the university courtyard was the semicircular building of the anatomical theater, which is a quadrangle with eight Ionic columns. On the wing of the building you can see the inscription in Latin “Here is the place where death is glad to help life.” On either side of the anatomical theater building there is a physical and chemical building and a library. Previously, these buildings were connected to the anatomical theater by a lattice colonnade, which has not survived to this day. At the same time, a clinic and an astronomical observatory were built.

In the 20th century, the university buildings extended beyond the historical quarter. The Faculty of Geology was located in the building of the former theological seminary on Voznesenskaya Street, the building of the Faculty of Chemistry was erected on Lobachevsky Street, and in the late 60s, two educational and laboratory high-rise buildings were built to the north and west of the main building of the educational institution.

Kazan University today

Currently, about 50 thousand students study at KSU; the area of educational and laboratory premises is 52 thousand square meters. There are dormitories for 12 thousand places. KSU branches are located in Naberezhnye Chelny and Zelenodolsk, Elabuga and Chistopol.

The Board of Trustees is headed by the President of the Republic of Tatarstan Rustam Minnikhanov.

The educational complex of the university consists of five areas:

Physics and mathematics
Natural science
Engineering and technical
Economic
Social and humanitarian.

A large number of scientific projects have been carried out with the participation of scientists from the UK and the USA, France and Hungary, Turkey and the CIS countries, as well as the Balkan Peninsula.

Kazan University has ten different specialized museums, which are its real asset. Museum exhibits and funds are used for scientific, cultural and educational purposes.

The oldest university in Tatarstan was founded on November 17 (5 old style), 1804. The development of the university began as part of four departments: moral and political sciences (7 departments), physical and mathematical sciences (9 departments), medical sciences (6 departments) and verbal sciences (6 departments). Since the founding of the university, the following departments have been preserved: criminal and civil law, general physics, mathematics, astronomy, chemistry, botany, geography, history, oriental languages, Russian, foreign languages. Outstanding scientists and rectors - N.I. Lobachevsky and M.T. Nuzhin - made a significant contribution to the development and establishment of the university. Discoveries on a global scale were made within the walls of Kazan University, without which it is impossible to imagine modern scientific research. Thus, without the theory of non-Euclidean geometry by N.I. Lobachevsky, it is difficult to talk about the development of modern cosmonautics. Without the theory of the chemical structure of organic substances by A.M. Butlerov, there would be no achievements of modern chemistry, which we see and feel in Everyday life. The phenomenon of electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR), discovered by E.K. Zavoisky, is today one of the most effective methods of scientific analysis in natural science.

Today the university is headed by Doctor of Physical and Mathematical Sciences, Professor Myakzyum SALAKHOV.
The uniqueness of the education provided by Kazan University lies in its academic quality and quality, as well as the fact that it is based on the rich traditions of the 200-year history of the university. As practice shows, the most popular specialties in which training is conducted at the university are: legal and economic specialties, specialties related to the development and application of information systems and technologies, as well as geosciences (geological and environmental specialties). This is explained by the fact that Russia today is becoming a country with civil
society and market economy. At the same time, the future progress of society depends on the development of new technologies and advances in the field of natural sciences. Kazan University provides graduates with employment assistance after graduation. This is mainly done by collecting information on the needs for specialists in various industries in the region and the city of Kazan. This information is communicated to students in a timely manner. In addition, the university works with graduates to ensure that they themselves make efforts to find employment. The university is trying to monitor how young specialists are finding employment, using the capabilities of the KSU Alumni Association for this purpose. The percentage of graduates working in their specialty and the time of employment at different faculties differs significantly. Economists, lawyers, psychologists, and philologists begin working most quickly in their specialty (from 50 to 75% in the first six months after graduation, up to 95% by the end of the year after graduation). In other specialties, the employment of graduates sometimes drags on for a year or more. Today, more than 16.5 thousand students study at Kazan University (together with branches in the cities of Zelenodolsk and Naberezhnye Chelny). The annual number of graduates receiving a diploma with honors is about 600 people. The average competition for admission to a university for the last 4 years has been approximately 3 to 4 people per place. The geography of distribution of Kazan University graduates is very wide. KSU graduates work in various state and non-state organizations, institutions, enterprises, including the highest government bodies of Russia. Among the most famous and outstanding graduates of KSU are: Oleg Viktorovich Morozov, Deputy Chairman of the State Duma of the Russian Federation; Andrey Evgenievich Busygin, Deputy Head of the Administration of the President of the Russian Federation; Govorukhin Stanislav, film director, State Duma deputy; Renat Mirgalimovich Smakov, Deputy Chairman of the Supreme Court of Russia, etc. Communication with university graduates is carried out through the Kazan University Alumni Association.

Kazansky State University(KSU) traces its history back to 1804. Truly one of the oldest and the most beautiful universities Russia. The founding date is considered to be November 5 (new style, 17) November 1804, when Emperor Alexander I signed the Letter of Confirmation and the Charter of the Kazan Imperial University. It is located in the very center of Kazan, so I think it’s definitely worth seeing, as a tourist or a guest of the city, the imperial alma mater. Moreover, it is located near the Kazan Arbat - Bauman Street, on Kremlevskaya Street, also a very beautiful and ancient street in Kazan. Many great scientists worked at the University: Butlerov, Arbuzov, Lobachevsky, who was the first rector of the Kazan Imperial University, and many other great names.

From the moment of its formation by Alexander I in December 1804 until the revolution of 1917, it was called the “Imperial Kazan University”. The building of the First Imperial Gymnasium was transformed into a university, and the street was called Pokrovskaya. The building was built in 1789, designed by the architect F. Emelyanov, the customer was the landowner Molostvov.The buildings in the university courtyard are the work of one architect - M.P. Korinfsky. This complex of university buildings was designed during the tenure of the university rector N.I. Lobachevsky in 1832-1838. Lobachevsky is not only a great geometrician, but also an excellent rector and builder of the university.After Lenin’s death in 1924, it began to be called “KSU named after. IN AND. Ulyanov - Lenin".

The main educational buildings of the university are located on the university campus in the center of Kazan. The university accepted its first students in February 1805. In 1814, the university had 4 departments of physical and mathematical sciences, medical sciences, verbal sciences and moral and political sciences.

The university is famous for the fact that famous scientists studied and worked here: astronomer Simonov, founder of non-Euclidean geometry Lobachevsky, K. Klaus, who discovered ruthenium, Zinin, Butlerov, Gromeka, Bekhterev, Lesgaft, Zavoisky, Altshuler, father and son Arbuzov and many other scientists famous in their fields.

Among the university students were: L.N. Tolstoy, Melnikov-Pechersky, V.I. Ulyanov, A.I. Rykov, M.A. Balakirev, S. Aksakov, V. Khlebnikov, G. Derzhavin, V. Panaev, I. Shishkin and others.

In 1825, the main university building was rebuilt. By 1830, the university had buildings of a library, an anatomical theater, a chemical laboratory, an astronomical observatory, a clinic, etc. The university became one of the centers of education and science in Russia.

If Russia is destined, as the great Peter foresaw, to transfer the West to Asia and introduce Europe to the East, then there is no doubt that Kazan is the main caravanserai on the path of European ideas to Asia and Asian character to Europe. Kazan University realized this. If he had limited his calling to the dissemination of European science alone, his significance would have remained secondary; For a long time he could not catch up not only with German universities, but with ours, for example, Moscow and Dorpat; and now he stands next to them, occupying the original place that belongs to him at his birthplace.

Herzen, “Letter from the Province” (1836)

Already in the first decades of its existence it became major center education and science. A number of scientific directions and schools have been formed in it (mathematical, chemical, medical, linguistic, geological, geobotanical, etc.). The University is especially proud of its outstanding scientific discoveries and achievements: the creation of non-Euclidean geometry (N. I. Lobachevsky), the discovery of the chemical element ruthenium (K. K. Klaus), the creation of the theory of the structure of organic compounds (A. M. Butlerov), the discovery of electronic paramagnetic resonance (E.K. Zavoisky), the discovery of acoustic paramagnetic resonance (S.A. Altshuler) and many others.

Since its founding, the university has trained more than 70 thousand specialists. Among the university students were outstanding scientists, as well as representatives of culture and public figures: S. T. Aksakov, M. A. Balakirev, P. I. Melnikov-Pechersky, Mikhail Minsky, D.L. Mordovtsev, L.N. Tolstoy, V.I. Ulyanov-Lenin, V. Khlebnikov, N.A. Bush, V.F. Zalesky and others.

WITH scientific societies Famous figures of Tatar science and culture collaborated with the university: Kayum Nasyri, Shikhabutdin Marjani and others.

Kazan University and its faculties became the basis for the opening and establishment of more than ten universities in the Volga region. So, in 1930, the Faculty of Medicine of KSU was transformed into the Kazan State Medical Institute.

By Decree of the President of Russia D.A. Medvedev in 2009, the main university of the Volga Federal District, the Volga Federal University, was created on the basis of the university.

As a result of protests by students and teachers related to the renaming of the university, the presidents of Russia and Tatarstan decided to retain the historical name “Kazan University”. In 2010, the Chairman of the Russian Government issued a decree assigning the official name to the university - “Kazan (Volga Region) Federal University.”

Currently, Kazan Federal University is a multidisciplinary university of a classical model. It trains specialists of various specialties for various fields of activity. It includes 15 faculties. The university includes research institutes, laboratories, two astronomical observatories, a publishing house, and an information technology center. Scientific Library named after.

Lobachevsky has rich funds. Its funds included the collections of Grigory Potemkin and Vasily Polyansky. It contains the most valuable manuscripts, manuscripts and ancient books. It has about five million books and eleven reading rooms. K(P)FU has extensive international connections with more than 40 universities around the world.

I will tell you how to get to Kazan University yourself and what to see on the territory of the university. Let's figure it out first how to get to Kazan University . You can get there by public transport

to the stops “Ploshchad Tukaya” or to the “University” stop. In general, it’s convenient to look at all buses in the 2GIS system in Kazan, I recommend it.

In general, ask the conductors how to get to this or that stop; if you are traveling from your hotel, which is not located in the center, they will be happy to tell you. Below I present to you a map of how to get from the stop to the Kazan University complex, which you can see.

Marked on the map:

Stop "Tukay Square" Here I present the most convenient, from my point of view, route for walking around the University Campus. Here you can see and KSU Anatomical Theater, KSU Observatory, University faculties and a cozy inner courtyard. I'm very glad that everything
kept clean and tidy. So we kindly ask you to respect work and cleanliness! However I warn you right away: tourists are not always allowed into the territory of KSU.


	There are guards at the entrance and exit (on the T-shirts it is written with the now fashionable word - security), who may require a pass, and in the absence of one, will not be allowed into the territory.

Let's start the excursion to Kazan University from the center, from the Ring. Now this is Vakhitov Square with two hills. On one hill there is a monument to the Tatar revolutionary Mullanur Vakhitov, after whom the square is named, on the other - the Kazan Financial and Economic Institute (KFEI) with the famous staircase covered in legends.

We turn onto Profsoyuznaya. The university's high-rise buildings are visible from many points in the city. In the center of the frame is the physics department building. We walk 100 meters to the intersection -

And here it is, Universitetskaya Street. Forward and upward, to the top of the hill, to the heights of knowledge! The university is located on top of an elongated hill, much like a rampart.

Next, a few photos with small comments on the main objects of the courtyard of Kazan University. The patio is very cozy. Clean, beautiful, surrounded by large ancient massive buildings, made in a mixture of classicism and other architectural styles. It's sunny everywhere. There are benches for students.

This is a weather station for observing the weather.

Here it is, the university courtyard from the eastern gate opposite Lobachevsky Square. Ahead is the Department of Astronomy.

Here young Vladimir Ulyanov and the equally young and impetuous Levushka Tolstoy studied at the law faculty (he studied history). Both did not complete their university course.

View from the “frying pan” (that’s what our university calls the area with stone benches around the monument to Volodya Ulyanov - here the snow quickly melts and young students and lovers bask and fry in the spring sun for hours).
