Why was it decided to open a new university in Kazan? The fact is that back in 1758 the Kazan gymnasium appeared. It was under the jurisdiction of Moscow University, which supplied it with teachers and educational materials. The employees were paid from the amounts received from customs farmers. At the opening, there were only a few gymnasium students, but a year later their number had grown to 111. And when, several decades later, there was talk of creating a new university in the country, the authorities decided to open it on the basis of this successful, progressive gymnasium.
The first students of the university were 33 young people. The trustee of the Kazan gymnasium, Rumovsky, selected the best students. They were of different ages - from thirteen to twenty. Most are nobles, the rest are commoners.
Young people listened to lectures by specially invited professors. Almost all the teachers were foreigners, mostly Germans, who at that time were often invited to give lectures at Russian educational institutions. For the first ten years, from the opening of the university until 1814, when the adopted Charter was put into effect, education did not proceed at its best. high level. The courses were unsystematic, the lectures inconsistent. Students were not divided into different faculties. Sometimes there was not enough educational literature or manuals.
But in 1814 the situation changed. The university received real autonomy, teaching became planned, and a division into faculties appeared. At first there were only four of them, and they consisted of twenty-eight different departments: the department of moral and political sciences, which later became the Faculty of Law, the Faculty of Mathematical and Physical Sciences, the Department of Medicine and Literary Sciences. And just during that period of prosperity, trouble came to the university. In 1819, Mikhail Magnitsky, an official of the Ministry of Education, Arakcheev’s favorite, endowed with broad powers and trustee rights, arrived in Kazan with an audit. The purpose of this audit was not an economic investigation or the identification of violations.
Magnitsky passed a murderous resolution. In a report to the emperor, he proposed to solemnly destroy the university and even publicly destroy its building itself (for the acquisition of which, by the way, the emperor allocated 66 thousand rubles in 1804). The emperor replied: “Why destroy, you can fix it” and appointed Magnitsky as rector so that he himself would eradicate all the identified shortcomings. During the five years of his leadership, Kazan University fell into complete decline. In 1826, a new audit was appointed, which revealed not only the decline in the level of university education, but also great waste. Based on the results of these checks, Magnitsky was removed from his post.
The next rector was Mikhail Nikolaevich Musin-Pushkin, who sincerely loved the university and did a lot for its development, and a year later he was replaced by Lobachevsky, whose role in the history of Kazan University cannot be overestimated. The great scientist managed to expand the university building, add new buildings, and improve the quality of education. Clinics appeared under him Faculty of Medicine, chemical and physical laboratories, an observatory, and all of this was equipped with the latest technology. Since 1835, the university had a department of oriental languages, where Sanskrit and Chinese, Arabic and Mongolian were taught. Before the transfer of the Oriental Faculty to St. Petersburg University, it was the best in Russia and one of the best in the world.
Scientific work expanded at the university; a midwifery institute and Botanical Garden, a printing house and several libraries, as well as collections of antiquities and works of art. The university made Kazan one of the main scientific centers, and itself became a nest of advanced ideas. The best forces, the brightest scientific minds flocked to it. His prestige grew in the country and in the world. The Soviet period became an era of further prosperity and development of the university. Outstanding scientists who worked there laid the foundations of many scientific schools. Also, several Volga region universities arose on the basis of Kazan University. During the Great Patriotic War, some Leningrad and Moscow institutions of the USSR Academy of Sciences were evacuated here.
Now Kazan (Volga Region) University is one of eight federal universities in Russia, included in the State Code of Especially Valuable Objects cultural heritage peoples Russian Federation. It has many faculties and institutes, it has branches in other cities, and thousands of students receive education there every year.
The first psychophysical laboratory in Russia was opened in Kazan in 1885. It was led by Vladimir Mikhailovich Bekhterev, the scientist who laid the foundations of Russian experimental psychology.
It was within the walls of Kazan University that the Russian physician and military surgeon Alexander Vasilyevich Vishnevsky developed the method of local anesthesia and described it in his work “Local anesthesia using the creeping filtrate method.” Before the discovery of general anesthesia, this method was the main method of pain relief during surgical operations. It was widely used not only in our country, but also in the world.
Russian astronomer Ivan Mikhailovich Simonov, one of the first graduates of Kazan University, took part in round the world expedition Bellingshausen and Lazarev, who discovered Antarctica. He left detailed description this research journey.
The outstanding chemist Alexander Mikhailovich Butlerov, who proved the theory of the chemical structure of substances, was a graduate of the university, its professor, and later its rector.
Vladimir Ilyich Lenin entered the Faculty of Law, from where he was expelled three months later for participating in student protests and riots caused by the introduction of the new Charter. While still within the walls of Kazan University, Lenin joined the “People's Will” circle.
