TASS DOSSIER. Russian State Agrarian University - Moscow Agricultural Academy named after. K.A. Timiryazeva is a federal state budgetary educational institution of higher education. The oldest, one of the main Russian agricultural universities.

Story

The initiative to create an educational institution for training agronomists was taken in 1857 by the Imperial Moscow Society of Agriculture. It was decided to locate the new institute on the outskirts of Moscow, on the territory of the Petrovsko-Razumovskoye estate near Moscow, which in 1860 was purchased by the treasury from private owners. In 1865, according to the design of the architect Nikolai Benois, the main educational building was built, and even before that, experimental fields and summer cottages were equipped. The founding date of the university is considered to be December 3, 1865, when the order of the tsarist government was announced on the opening of the Peter the Great Agricultural and Forestry Academy.

On May 30, 1889, the forestry department was liquidated from the academy. On February 1, 1894, the academy was closed due to the growth of revolutionary sentiment among the students. Instead, the Moscow Agricultural Institute was formed.

In 1917, the institute was named the Petrovsky Agricultural Academy. In the same year, the territory where the academy was located became part of Moscow. In December 1923, the academy was renamed the Moscow Agricultural Academy (MSHA) named after. K.A. Timiryazev. It was named in honor of the outstanding Russian naturalist and botanist, one of the founders of the Russian school of plant physiology, Kliment Timiryazev (1843-1920).

In Soviet times, the university was awarded the Orders of Lenin and the Red Banner of Labor.

On June 20, 2005, the academy was renamed the Russian State Agrarian University - MSHA named after K.A. Timiryazev.

On September 11, 2008, RGAU-MSHA was included in the State Code of Especially Valuable Objects of the Cultural Heritage of the Peoples of the Russian Federation.

Description

The university has 14 faculties, the Institute of Mechanics and Energy named after. V.P. Goryachkin and the Institute of Environmental Management named after. A.N. Kostyakova, Higher School of Agribusiness, branches in Kaluga and Dmitrov (Moscow region), 12 museums, as well as a number of breeding stations. The founder of the university is the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation.

The total number of university students is about 18 thousand people, the number of employees is 4 thousand people.

The president of the university is Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences (RAN), Doctor of Economics Vladimir Bautin. Rector - Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, Doctor of Agricultural Sciences Vyacheslav Lukomets.

Currently, RGAU-MAA occupies an area of ​​about 500 hectares in the Timiryazevsky district of Moscow, of which the main part is the forest experimental dacha of the MCAA. Also part of the territory is occupied by experimental fields and gardens, including the Michurinsky Garden (founded in the fall of 1939).

Conflict over land transfer

On March 4, 2016, the Government Commission for the Development of Housing Construction and Assessing the Efficiency of Use of Land Plots Owned by the Russian Federation, chaired by First Deputy Prime Minister Igor Shuvalov, by absentee voting, decided to transfer two plots belonging to the RSAU-MSHA to the Federal Development Assistance Fund housing construction.

On March 16, 2016, the Federal Property Management Agency decided to terminate the academy’s right to perpetual ownership of these plots. Their total area is 101.58 hectares, cadastral value is 27.7 billion rubles. In particular, the Michurinsky Garden and an experimental field with a precision farming center are located on them.

At the end of March 2016, the decision to alienate the lands of the Timiryazev Academy caused a great public outcry. The academic council of the university was categorically against it. A public petition on the website Change.org against land development was signed by about 30 thousand people. The first vice speaker of the Federation Council, former head of the Ministry of Agriculture of the Russian Federation, Nikolai Fedorov, also opposed this.

According to the General Director of the Agency for Housing Mortgage Lending, Alexander Plutnik, the lands alienated from the academy “are not used in any way and are wastelands: there are no relict or especially valuable plants, as well as academy buildings there; part of one of the plots is occupied by golf courses.”

The Russian Agrarian University (RSAU MSHA named after Timiryazev) was founded at the end of the 19th century to train specialists in the field of agriculture and forestry. Currently, it is one of the main centers for training personnel for agriculture.
