History
The Moscow Public University was founded in 1908 on the initiative of the eminent Russian patron of the arts, Alfons Shanyavsky, and played a special role in Russian higher education from its inception. It was the center of enlightened and moral education right up to 1918, realizing the progressive principles of alternative education in conjunction with a sound educational foundation available to all.
The Moscow State Institute for History and Archives, founded in 1930 as a center for the preparation of archivists, became over the years a focus of scientific research. In its archival pursuits in areas of history and such auxiliary realms as the study of primary sources, archaeology and palaeography, it managed to preserve the very best of Russian research. By the beginning of the 1990s, this institution had achieved university level which naturally enabled it to become the organizational heart of the RSUH, founded in 1991.
RSUH currently comprises seven institutes, eleven faculties, nineteen scientific and educational centers, eight laboratories, and fifty departments. Its principal subdivisions are as follows:
Its curriculum extends from preparatory to post-doctoral studies. The university is most renowned for its linguistics, intelligent systems (AI), cliometrics and cliodynamics research groups.
It also has many ties with universities abroad, including Université Laval, Trinity College, Helwan University and Cairo University.
