Yakut Pedagogical Institute

The development of education and science in Yakutia was the dream of the best representatives of the Sakha people. The first to write about the need to open an educational institution in Yakutsk to train personnel from the local population was the head of the Borogonsky ulus, A. Arzhakov, widely known as Sehen Arzhakov. On September 18, 1789, he personally presented to Empress Catherine II his “Plan on the Yakuts with indications of government benefits and the most advantageous provisions for them.” In the “Plan” of A. Arzhakov, in particular, it was said that it was necessary to establish in Yakutsk “a school for the Yakut people, who should be taught Russian literacy and other sciences... so that they would henceforth be fit for public and state service and for the education of their fellows theirs.” The “Cultivation” program of the early 20th century. the great Yakut educator A.E. Kulakovsky-Eksekulyakha assumed the training of local educated personnel for the future development of the Yakut region. In 1917, there were only 188 cultural and educational institutions in the Yakut region. Among all residents of the region, 2% were literate, among the indigenous Yakut population - 0.8%

A.E. Kulakovsky

By the beginning of the 20th century. In the capital of the northern region, there was already a network of educational institutions: a secondary school, a teacher's seminary, a theological seminary, a paramedic school, and a women's gymnasium. The will of the people for education, for the idea of higher education, was one of the first to be expressed by S. Novgorodov, a graduate of St. Petersburg University. In 1919, in the article “Yakuts and the University,” he raised the question of opening a department of Yakut philology at Irkutsk University. His dream came true in 1930, when such a department was opened at the Irkutsk Pedagogical Institute. By the academic year (1931/32), there were 502 teachers in seven-year and secondary educational institutions in the republic, only 13 of them had higher education. Of the 979 primary school teachers, only 133 teachers had appropriate education.

The planned training of specialists for the republic in the central universities of the country began in the summer of 1922. If in 1922 63 Yakut students studied at these universities, then in 1931 - 1932 there were already 786 people. The year of the birth of higher education in Yakutia can be considered 1930, when the Yakut department for teacher training was opened at the Irkutsk Agropedagogical Institute. In 1930, 56 graduates of higher educational institutions arrived in the republic from the center, of which: teachers - 9, doctors - 7, economists - 8, engineers - 14, agricultural specialists - 10. Since the fall of 1931, a comprehensive education for children 8 - 13 years old. Massive construction of schools began. The issues of eliminating illiteracy and training of teaching staff were raised. Intensive preparatory work for the opening of a pedagogical institute in Yakutia was carried out in 1932 - 1934. It was entrusted to the People's Commissariat of Education of the YASSR.

Basharin Georgy Prokopyevich

Much organizational work was carried out by the then People's Commissar of Education of the YASSR I. N. Zhirkov, his deputy I. M. Romanov, as well as I. P. Zhegusov, who was appointed director-organizer of the pedagogical institute. The head of the schools department of the OK VKP (b) M. N. Scriabin helped in resolving many issues. On January 3, 1933, the Presidium of the YACEC decided to organize a pedagogical institute in Yakutsk with a total number of first-year students of 100 people. However, in 1933 the institute was not opened due to the lack of material resources and teaching staff. The opening of the Yakut State Pedagogical Institute (YSPI) in 1934 was an important milestone in the political and spiritual life of the peoples of Yakutia. The Yakut Pedagogical Institute laid the foundation for the development of higher education in the Far North of the country. In a relatively short period of time, it trained over two thousand specialists who played an extremely important role in the development of the economy and culture of the republic. The question of opening a pedagogical institute in Yakutsk at one time caused lively debate. Many considered it inappropriate to open a university in Yakutia, since it required significant costs and effort. It was easier to send young people to study at universities in the Center and Siberia. However, life has refuted such reasoning. YSPI graduates have produced many highly qualified teachers, honored teachers of schools in the republic and the Russian Federation, excellent students in public education, executives, writers and poets. I.P. Zhegusov was appointed organizer-director of YSPI. According to the design of technician E.G. Antipina restored the abandoned building of the former real school. In a short time, two dormitories for one hundred people each were built on Sergelyakh. The number of copies of books in the library grew from four to tens of thousands, many of them were donated to the pedagogical institute by the poet S.R. Kulachikov-Ellyai and I.P. himself. Zhegusov.

A major problem was student recruitment. In the fall of 1934, instead of the planned 90 people, only 59 were admitted to the departments of physics and history, 27 entered the preparatory department. Due to the shortage of teachers in the republic wishing to obtain higher education, schools were reluctantly released. And yet, in three and a half years of work, Ivan Pudovich managed to do a lot. He opened a preparatory department. From the 1935 - 1936 academic year, students of the Pedagogical Institute were admitted to the correspondence department: physics and mathematics, history, language and literature. By the 1938-1939 academic year, the institute already consisted of four faculties. It was I.P. Zhegusov laid the foundations of the material and technical base of YSPI, and for the first time implemented the ideas of multi-level and multi-stage education. In two to three years, they created educational laboratories in general physics. Here the main contribution was made by senior lecturer Yu.G. Shafer, who already at the pedagogical institute carried out research on cosmic rays and subsequently headed the Institute of Cosmophysical Research and Aeronomy for about thirty years at the Yaroslavl Branch of the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences.

The issue of selection of teaching staff was acute. I.P. Zhegusov began his work with a team of only 12-14 teachers, none of whom had an academic degree; only a year later the first candidate of sciences, S.F., appeared. Popov is the future rector of YSPI in the post-war years. On October 12, 1934, in the newspaper Socialist Yakutia, he wrote bitterly: “... while there are no conditions, our employees are wasting a lot of time looking for a log of firewood, a bucket of water, a liter of kerosene, a room for living.” The director of the pedagogical institute knocked on the doors of organizations and institutions in charge of providing apartments. Of the 31 physics students who entered in 1934, only thirteen received diplomas four years later. The management of the pedagogical institute strongly encouraged those who studied well. For example, in the director’s order dated April 5, 1935, it is written: “... from March 1 until the end of the 1934-1935 academic year, a free hot breakfast will be provided to all shock students at the expense of other material support for students.”

In 1938 I.P. Following a denunciation, Zhegusov was arrested by NKVD officers. Subjected to repression. The “Yakut case” was in full swing, which began with the so-called “M.K. case.” Ammosova". The works of Ivan Pudovich were destroyed, letters and photographs were confiscated. In March 1940, investigator Bereznyak was forced to conclude that “the investigation did not obtain any data on the conduct of practical counter-revolutionary activities at the pedagogical institute. Release from custody immediately and stop the case.” From prison I.P. Zhegusov came out seriously ill and died a year later. He was fully rehabilitated only on May 15, 2000. The library received a legal deposit from the All-Union Book Chamber. By the forties, the library's collection had increased to 50 thousand volumes. At first, there were no people with academic degrees and titles in the teaching staff of the pedagogical institute. Only in 1935 did the first “graduate” teacher, Stepan Fedotovich Popov, appear. He graduated from graduate school at the Central Research Institute of National Schools in Moscow and defended his thesis on the topic “Pre-revolutionary primary school in Yakutia.” In 1936, V. A. Tsvetkov and I. A. Melnikov were sent from the center to work at the institute. The first graduated from graduate school at the Historical and Philological Institute with a degree in general history, and the second graduated from graduate school at the Moscow Industrial Pedagogical Institute. K. Liebknecht, majoring in pedagogy. Ivan Andreevich Melnikov was appointed to the position of deputy director of the pedagogical institute for academic work. In 1937, he defended his Ph.D. thesis on the topic “Didactic principles of J. A. Komensky.” Personnel selection has always been the focus of attention of the leadership of the pedagogical institute. In 1935, M. G. Altukhov, S. V. Rodionov, A. D. Egorov, F. G. Dyakonov, E. Paklina, I. M. Romanov, V. A. Alekseev taught at the physics and mathematics department.

Famous physicists who studied at YAPI: A.I. Kuzmin, M.A. Alekseev, I.S. Ivanov.

Many of them subsequently became major scientists, teachers and organizers of science in Yakutia. Up to 1956 inclusive, the university graduated 1081 teachers (YAPI) and 1041 teachers with incomplete higher education (YAUI) for secondary school, i.e. a total of 2122 specialists. The quality of education in those years is evidenced by the subsequent successes of graduates of the pedagogical institute in the first years. Thus, the first graduates of the YAPI became the honored teachers of the school of the RSFSR: D. G. Novopashin, M. I. Kershengolts, M. I. Nikolaeva and others, and the honored teachers of the school of the YASSR - E. Yu. Kelle-Pelle, P. P. Okoneshnikov , P. A. Starostin and many others. Thus, in 1934, a major event took place - the opening of the first higher educational institution in the republic. The Pedagogical Institute became a center for training specialists with higher education from local youth, a center of attraction for the scientific and creative forces of the republic.

Yakut State University

A major event of social and cultural significance was the transformation in 1956 of the Pedagogical Institute into the Yakut State University, now named after M.K. Ammosova. Yakut University has become a major educational and scientific center for training highly qualified specialists in the North-East of the Russian Federation. In subsequent years, great changes took place in the field of higher education, the structure of the Yakut State University changed: medical, pedagogical, financial-economic, physics-technical institutes, the Institute of Mathematics and Computer Science, the Institute of Physical Education and Sports, the Faculty of Psychology, the Mining Faculty, the Faculty of Pre-University Education were created and career guidance, a center for professional retraining of specialists and advanced training, 30 new departments. In 1994, branches were opened in the cities of Mirny and Neryungri.

In November 1998, the university passed state certification for 5 years in 38 specialties and 5 areas, and in 1999 - accreditation. Currently, the university has 8 educational institutes, 11 faculties, the Republican College of Physics and Mathematics, the Research Institute of Applied Mathematics and Informatics and other scientific and educational departments. The activities of all structural divisions are carried out in full accordance with the University Charter.

Higher education in Yakutia at the turn of the 50s - 60s of the XX century

The Yakut Pedagogical Institute, opened in 1934, played a significant role in the creation of scientific and pedagogical personnel in the Yakut Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic and laid a certain foundation for the further development of higher education in Yakutia. The organizers of the first higher educational institution of the republic did not hide their lofty goals, focusing the activities of the staff of the Yakut Pedagogical Institute on the opening of the following directions in the training of specialists: physico-mathematical, chemical-biological, literary-linguistic, historical-economic, that is, on laying the basis for a fundamental university education.

After the victorious end of the Great Patriotic War and the Second World War, the internal and external conditions of the countries demanded not only the rapid restoration of the country's destroyed national economy, but also powerfully dictated the need for the dynamic development of the country. These large-scale goals required the development of the country's subsoil resources, the development of science, knowledge-intensive industries, the creation of new equipment and technologies, and the training of highly qualified specialists capable of solving assigned tasks.

A prominent social and political figure of Yakutia, Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the YASSR Ilya Egorovich Vinokurov hatched a plan to transform the pedagogical institute into a university. In the personal archive of I.E. Vinokurov, dated 1945, contains the text of a speech at a session of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR, where the chairman of the government of the republic notes that a pedagogical institute has been operating in Yakutia for the twelfth year, but it, “oddly enough, still does not have its own appropriate premises. It is necessary in the near future to provide for the construction of a new educational building that meets all the requirements of a modern higher education institution. This is all the more necessary because in the future we must keep in mind the creation of a university in Yakutia on the basis of this institute. This task has already matured and therefore I ask in 1946 to provide funds for the start of this construction and resolve the issue of creating here, in distant Yakutia, on the basis of the existing pedagogical institute - a State University, at least with agricultural, medical and mining faculties, in whom we could train in acute shortage of specialists for these developing sectors of the national economy.”

Thus, at the end of 1945, the leadership of the republic came up with the idea of opening a university with new faculties. However, the difficulties of the post-war period, the lack of material and financial resources aimed primarily at restoring the national economy, as well as the lack of support in the highest echelons of power did not allow the idea of creating a university in Yakutia to be realized.

In December 1946, I.E. Vinokurov became the first secretary of the Yakut regional committee of the CPSU (b). On July 29, 1949, the bureau of the Yakut regional party committee asks the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks and the Council of Ministers of the USSR to include in the new five-year plan for 1946 - 1950. construction of a stone building of a pedagogical institute for 1,500 people, construction of two dormitories for students for 200 people, as well as four four-apartment houses for teachers and transfer of the institute's buildings and the entire campus to central heating, instead of stove heating.

At the same meeting, the regional committee bureau raised before the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks and the Ministry of Higher Education of the USSR the question of improving the quality of teachers not only through secondment from the Center, but also through the admission of doctoral students and graduate students from among the teachers and graduates of the YPI to the country's leading universities. The Bureau also asked the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks and the Council of Ministers of the USSR to “exempt students of the Yakut Pedagogical Institute from paying tuition fees and maintain the procedure for paying scholarships that existed before 1948.” Thus, I.E. Vinokurov sought to improve the material resources and personnel potential of YPI, which is the base of the future university, and to soften the social situation of northern students. The first secretary of the Yakut regional party committee on December 4, 1948 addressed the Deputy Chairman of the USSR Council of Ministers K.E. Voroshilov on preserving, as an exception, scholarships for students of YAPI, YAUI and technical schools without taking into account the quality of education.

Such close attention of the first person of the republic to the problems of university education was determined by the urgent tasks of that time. In the late 1940s - early 50s, extensive geological exploration work was launched on the territory of Yakutia. They gave very positive results in terms of oil and gas content; promising deposits of coal and iron ore were discovered. And the party of G.Kh. Feinestein discovered the first diamond crystal on August 7, 1949. Under these conditions, personnel were required to meet the needs of the upcoming large-scale development of the natural resources of Yakutia in the cause of gigantic shifts in the national economy of the USSR. I.E. Vinokurov was concerned that the training of local qualified personnel at the Yakut Pedagogical Institute, as well as in other universities of the country in the form of targeted admission, did not meet the growing needs of developing agriculture, industry and their expanding infrastructure, and the mass arrival of specialists from the Center, as practice has shown, had some negative impact (their high turnover), without contributing to the stability of work of labor collectives. Therefore, the head of the regional party organization, firmly confident in his decisions, put forward and promoted the doctrine of university education through the appropriate authorities. In his letter dated September 12, 1952 to the Secretary of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) P.K. Ilya Egorovich Ponomarenko also substantiated the need to train such specialists as livestock specialists, veterinarians, game managers, fur breeders, and land managers from among local youth to develop the fur industry and improve the social status of local residents of Yakutia.

Unfortunately, the departure of I.E. Vinokurov from the post of first secretary of the Yakut regional committee of the CPSU (b) on false accusations in the well-known case “On bourgeois-nationalist perversions in the coverage of Yakut literature” did not give him the opportunity to implement this fateful issue.

Thus, I.E. Vinokurov was the first to put forward the doctrine of the development of higher education on the basis of a university. Ilya Egorovich, as a convinced supporter and organizer of science in the republic, fully understood the importance and value of fundamental training of specialists in the field of natural, humanitarian, technical, and applied sciences in the development of the productive forces of the republic and the prosperity of its peoples.

Geological exploration work to find diamonds began to bring new impressive results: in 1954, the party of L.A. Popugaeva discovered the first kimberlite pipe in the USSR, called “Zarnitsa”; On June 13, 1955, a team of geologist Yu.I. Khabardina from the Amakinsk expedition discovered the Mir tube. Yakutia has become the object of close attention of the country's leadership.

After the release of the draft Directives of the XX Congress of the CPSU on the sixth five-year plan for the development of the national economy of the USSR for 1956 - 1960, the bureau of the Yakut regional party committee under the leadership of First Secretary S.Z. Borisov on January 28, 1956, discussed the issue “On measures to strengthen the training of engineering and technical personnel for the national economy of the Yakut Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic.” The Bureau noted the turnover of technical personnel and the absolutely small number of specialists from among the local and especially indigenous population. In addition, available engineering positions were filled by persons without higher education. Thus, on January 1, 1956, out of 1976 full-time positions of industrial engineers in Yakutia (without geological expeditions), only 966, that is, 48.8%, were filled by certified specialists; Of the 2,995 technician positions, 1,523 had technician diplomas, that is, slightly more than half (50.8%). Of the 323 students from universities in the Center and Siberia sent by the republic, 185 were local (Yakuts, Russians, peoples of the North), the remaining 42.8% were children of workers who had recently arrived in Yakutia.

But what was the situation in the industrial technical schools of Yakutia in 1956? Of the 462 people who graduated from the Aldan Mining College over the past 6 years, only 8 were Yakuts and Evenks; out of 126 graduates of the Yakut Electrical Technical College of Communications who completed their studies in the period from 1953 to 1956, only seven were Yakuts; The municipal construction technical school graduated five Yakuts in 5 years. Due to the poor training of engineering and technical personnel from the local population, the latter accounted for only 3.7% of engineers employed in the industry of the republic, and 10% of technicians.

Based on the above, the bureau of the regional party committee put forward a new doctrine for the development of higher education in the republic, aimed at training engineering personnel by sharply increasing the targeted places for Yakuts in universities of the Center and Siberia (in 1956 - 500 places, in 1957 - 600 places) and opening of the Polytechnic Institute in Yakutsk in 1960. And as an initial measure, it was decided in 1956 to open in Yakutsk a mining and geological faculty, a branch of the Irkutsk Mining and Metallurgical Institute with the specialties: geology and exploration of mineral deposits; development of mineral deposits with a contingent of 200 people.

Team of the Yakut Pedagogical Institute. 1936

It was determined which buildings to transfer for the future faculty and what measures to take to create the base of the polytechnic institute. Thus, a second doctrine for the development of higher education in Yakutia arose, which can conditionally be called the polytechnization of higher education. The first secretary of the Yakut regional party committee, S.Z., can be considered the author of this direction. Borisova. Semyon Zakharovich, in his theses prepared for speech at the 20th Congress of the CPSU in February 1956, noted the following thought: “We believe that the time has come for the USSR Ministry of Higher Education to resolve the issue of organizing a higher technical educational institution in Yakutsk in the sixth five-year plan, to put the end of the intolerable turnover of technical personnel in Yakutia.”

However, during the work after the 20th Congress of the CPSU, meetings with representatives of ministries, scientists, specialists S.Z. Borisov changed his vision of the concept of higher education in Yakutia, leaning toward the idea of creating a university. This is evidenced by a telegram sent to Moscow on March 14, 1956, signed by the Chairman of the Council of Ministers of the YASSR R.G. Vasiliev and the first secretary of the regional committee of the CPSU S.Z. Borisov, which says: “... to organize a university on the basis of YAPI,” starting from the 1956-1957 academic year, along with the faculties of the pedagogical institute, open one new faculty - mining and geology - with the enrollment of 200 people for the first year of the new faculty. And “as the educational base is created and residential buildings are built, additional faculties of agriculture and medicine will be opened.”

Thus, the doctrine of Ilya Egorovich Vinokurov won, which was supported and simultaneously promoted in Moscow by the then elite of the republic’s intelligentsia, to which, of course, should be included such prominent representatives of the YAPI as professors, Doctor of Philosophy. A.E. Mordinov, Ph.D., Associate Professor I.M. Romanov and others. On the instructions of the first secretary of the Yakut regional party committee S.Z. Borisov, the secretary of the regional party committee for ideology, candidate of historical sciences Anastasia Petrovna Danilova, was closely involved in the opening of the university. Through their efforts, all the necessary documents were prepared and the basis for the functioning of the new university was determined. Thus, even before the release of the Resolution of the Council of Ministers of the USSR on the opening of the university, the bureau of the Yakut regional committee on July 10, July 18, August 21 considered issues related to the base, enrollment, and leadership of the new university. On August 23, 1956, a Decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR was issued on the creation of the Yakut State University on the basis of the Pedagogical Institute.

Classes began on October 1, 1956. The first lecture to the freshmen was given by the rector of the university, Doctor of Philosophy, Professor Avksentiy Egorovich Mordinov. 22 years ago, on October 8, 1934, the first lecture to first-year students at the newly opened pedagogical institute was also given by A.E. Mordinov, who received a diploma from the Moscow Historical and Philosophical Institute in the same year.

Thus began the forward movement of the Yakut State University named after Maxim Kirovich Ammosov, which has been sailing the ocean of knowledge for half a century.

Teaching staff of the new university

At the time of the organization of the university, the teaching staff of YSPI consisted of 96 teachers. Among them were one doctor of science, professor, 33 candidates of science, including 20 associate professors, 34 senior teachers, 3 teachers and 25 assistants. The degree of sedateness was 35.4%.

In the 1956-1957 academic year, 1,247 full-time and 531 part-time students studied at Yakut State University.

On December 10-12, the city of Yakutsk will host anniversary celebrations dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the oldest forge of teaching staff in the republic - the Yakut Pedagogical College named after. S.F. Gogoleva. November 10, People's Deputy of the Republic, Chairman of the College Alumni Association Elena Golomareva held a working meeting on the organized holding of anniversary events.

Yakut Pedagogical College dates its history back to 1914. With the opening of the teachers' seminary in the republic, professional training of teachers began, as well as the formation and development of the education system. The college went through four stages of formation. In 1920, the teachers' seminary was transformed into a pedagogical technical school, in 1937 - into a pedagogical school, and since 2001 it has been operating as a pedagogical college. At the same time, the most important and unchanging purpose always remains the training of highly qualified teaching staff.

At the origins of the creation of the college were bright representatives of the Yakut people: the leader of the pre-revolutionary national intelligentsia, public figure, educator, delegate of the All-Russian Congress of Public Education, from the rostrum of which he made a petition for the opening of the Yakut seminary Vasily Nikiforov-Kulumnuur, the first Yakut linguist who compiled the Yakut alphabet in 1917 Semyon Novgorodov.

Outstanding public and state political figures of Yakutia were trained within the walls of the teachers' seminary: Platon Oyunsky, Maxim Ammosov, Semyon Arzhakov, Isidor Barakhov, Stepan Gogolev, Mikhail Ksenofontov (Megezheksky), Stepan Vasiliev. The Pedagogical College opened a bright path for the first generation of scientists: A.E. Mordinov, G.P. Basharin, V.N. Chemezov, F.G. Safronov, I.M., Romanov, HELL. Egorov, S.F. Popov; to people's writers of Yakutia N.E. Mordinov, S.R. Kulachikov, D.K. Sivtsev; prominent figures of art and culture T.P. Mestnikov, V.V. Mestnikov, M.V. Mestnikova, I.D.Novgorodov and many others. Graduates of pedagogical school No. 1 have become generally recognized masters of pedagogical work. Among them is the People's Teacher of the USSR Mikhail Andreevich Alekseev, honored teachers of schools of the RSFSR, RF, YASSR, RS (Y), excellent students of public education of the USSR and RSFSR, education of the RS (Y), holders of the highest awards of the Motherland, leaders of public education of the republic. Graduates of the Yakut Pedagogical School are a deputy of the State Assembly (Il Tumen), chairman of the standing committee on the problems of the Arctic and indigenous peoples of the North Elena Golomareva, deputy of the State Assembly (Il Tumen) of several convocations, currently chairman of the Constitutional Court of Yakutia Alexander Kim, ex-vice president of the republic, now minister of vocational education, training and personnel placement Dmitry Glushko, Minister of Sports Mikhail Gulyaev.

In 1933, the Pedagogical College was named after a prominent statesman, a graduate of the Yakut Teachers' Seminary Stepan Gogolev. Stepan Filippovich He devoted his bright, but very short life to the fight against illiteracy, and advocated compulsory primary and seventh-grade education in the republic. In 1922 - 1933 Stepan Gogolev worked as Deputy People's Commissar of Internal Affairs, People's Commissar of Justice and Prosecutor of the Republic, People's Commissar of Education, Deputy Chairman of the Council of People's Commissars of the Yakut Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic. In 1934, thanks to his progressive actions and efforts, the first university in the republic was opened - the Pedagogical Institute, the progenitor of the current NEFU. He is known as a persistent, selfless, devoted to the cause of the revolution, a tactful and sensitive worker, a talented politician and leader.

The names of honored teachers of schools of the RSFSR and the YASSR are kept in the memory of many generations of students and teachers M.I. Kershengolts, S.S. Guryeva, T.E. Mordinova, G.I.Sleptsova, K.I. Filippova and others. Teachers at the Pedagogical College had enormous authority among their students. The founder of Yakut literature worked here as teachers Alexey Eliseevich Kulakovsky – Eksekuleeh Eleksey, famous writer, author of textbooks on Yakut literature Alexey Ivanov – Kundya, people's poet of Yakutia Vladimir Novikov – Kunnuk Uurastyyrap, deeply respected and revered teachers - humanists M.P. Romanov, O.P. Shirokova, A.G. Antipin and etc.

Over its century-long history, the college has earned the widest recognition and authority as one of the leading educational institutions not only in its native republic, but also in the Russian Federation. Today, the Yakut Pedagogical College is recognized as one of the best educational institutions of vocational education in the republic, included in the All-Russian register “100 best secondary educational institutions of Russia”, the national register “Leading educational institutions of Russia”, “Innovative management in education”.

The activities of the college in the 2013-2014 and 2014-2015 academic years are organized on the basis of the Anniversary Events Plan. During this time, various events were held. This year, work was organized with graduates of the educational institution, scientific and methodological events were held, and events for young people were held under a separate program: various competitions, student events, volunteer troops, athletics runs, etc. The main anniversary celebrations will take place on December 10-12. The program includes master classes for graduates “100 golden minutes of creativity” for college students, a scientific and practical conference “Yakut Pedagogical College: a look into history”, a presentation of an anniversary book, the opening of an exhibition, a round table “Teacher is a long-range profession, the main one on Earth” " A gala evening dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the college will be held on December 11 at the Triumph Sports Training Center.

On September 18, 1789, he personally presented to Empress Catherine II his “Plan on the Yakuts with indications of government benefits and the most advantageous provisions for them.” In the “Plan” of A. Arzhakov, in particular, it was said that it was necessary to establish in Yakutsk “a school for the Yakut people, who should be taught Russian literacy and other sciences... so that they would henceforth be fit for public and state service and for the education of their fellows.” . The “Cultivation” program of the early 20th century. the great Yakut educator A.E. Kulakovsky-Eksekulyakha assumed the training of local educated personnel for the future development of the Yakut region. In 1917, there were only 188 cultural and educational institutions in the Yakut region. Among all residents of the region, 2% were literate, and among the indigenous Yakut population - 0.8%.

A major problem was student recruitment. In the fall of 1934, instead of the planned 90 people, only 59 were admitted to the departments of physics and history, 27 entered the preparatory department. Due to the shortage of teachers in the republic wishing to obtain higher education, schools were reluctantly released. And yet, in three and a half years of work, Ivan Pudovich managed to do a lot. He opened a preparatory department. From the 1935-1936 academic year, students of the Pedagogical Institute were admitted to the correspondence department: physics and mathematics, history, language and literature. By the 1938-1939 academic year, the institute already consisted of four faculties. It was I.P. Zhegusov laid the foundations of the material and technical base of YSPI, and for the first time implemented the ideas of multi-level and multi-stage education. In two to three years, we created educational laboratories in general physics. Here the main contribution was made by senior lecturer Yu.G. Shafer, who already at the pedagogical institute carried out research on cosmic rays and subsequently headed the Institute of Cosmophysical Research and Aeronomy for about thirty years at the Yaroslavl Branch of the Siberian Branch of the USSR Academy of Sciences.

The issue of selection of teaching staff was acute. I.P. Zhegusov began his work with a team of only 12-14 teachers, none of whom had an academic degree; only a year later the first candidate of sciences, S.F., appeared. Popov is the future rector of YSPI in the post-war years. On October 12, 1934, in the newspaper Socialist Yakutia, he wrote bitterly: “... while there are no conditions, our employees are wasting a lot of time looking for a log of firewood, a bucket of water, a liter of kerosene, a room for living.” The director of the pedagogical institute knocked on the doors of organizations and institutions in charge of providing apartments. Of the 31 physics students who entered in 1934, only thirteen received diplomas four years later. The management of the pedagogical institute strongly encouraged those who studied well. For example, in the director’s order dated April 5, 1935, it is written: “... from March 1 until the end of the 1934-1935 academic year, at the expense of other material support for students, a free hot breakfast will be provided to all shock students.”

In 1936, V. A. Tsvetkov and I. A. Melnikov were sent from the center to work at the institute. The first graduated from graduate school at the Historical and Philological Institute with a degree in general history, and the second graduated from graduate school at the Moscow Industrial Pedagogical Institute. K. Liebknecht, majoring in pedagogy. Ivan Andreevich Melnikov was appointed to the position of deputy director of the pedagogical institute for academic work. In 1937, he defended his Ph.D. thesis on the topic “Didactic principles of J. A. Komensky.” Personnel selection has always been the focus of attention of the leadership of the pedagogical institute. In 1935, M. G. Altukhov, S. V. Rodionov, A. D. Egorov, F. G. Dyakonov, E. Paklina, I. M. Romanov, V. A. Alekseev taught at the physics and mathematics department.

Many of them subsequently became major scientists, teachers and organizers of science in Yakutia. Up to 1956 inclusive, the university graduated 1081 teachers (YAPI) and 1041 teachers with incomplete higher education (YAUI) for secondary school, i.e. a total of 2122 specialists. The quality of education in those years is evidenced by the subsequent successes of graduates of the pedagogical institute in the first years. Thus, the first graduates of the YAPI became the honored teachers of the school of the RSFSR: D. G. Novopashin, M. I. Kershengolts, M. I. Nikolaeva and others, and the honored teachers of the YASSR school were E. Yu. Kelle-Pelle, P. P. Okoneshnikov , P. A. Starostin and many others. Thus, in 1934, a major event took place - the opening of the first higher educational institution in the republic. The Pedagogical Institute became a center for training specialists with higher education from local youth, a center of attraction for the scientific and creative forces of the republic.

Semyon Zakharovich Borisov

Such close attention of the first person of the republic to the problems of university education was determined by the urgent tasks of that time. In the late 1940s and early 50s, extensive geological exploration work was launched on the territory of Yakutia. They gave very positive results in terms of oil and gas content; promising deposits of coal and iron ore were discovered. And the party of G.Kh. Feinestein discovered the first diamond crystal on August 7, 1949. Under these conditions, personnel were required to meet the needs of the upcoming large-scale development of the natural resources of Yakutia in the cause of gigantic shifts in the national economy of the USSR. I.E. Vinokurov was concerned that the training of local qualified personnel at the Yakut Pedagogical Institute, as well as in other universities of the country in the form of targeted admission, did not meet the growing needs of developing agriculture, industry and their expanding infrastructure, and the mass arrival of specialists from the Center, as practice has shown, had some negative impact (their high turnover), without contributing to the stability of work of labor collectives. Therefore, the head of the regional party organization, firmly confident in his decisions, put forward and promoted the doctrine of university education through the appropriate authorities. In his letter dated September 12, 1952 to the Secretary of the Central Committee of the All-Union Communist Party (Bolsheviks) P.K. Ilya Egorovich Ponomarenko also substantiated the need to train such specialists as livestock specialists, veterinarians, game managers, fur breeders, and land managers from among local youth to develop the fur industry and improve the social status of local residents of Yakutia.
Unfortunately, the departure of I.E. Vinokurov from the post of first secretary of the Yakut regional committee of the CPSU (b) on false accusations in the well-known case “On bourgeois-nationalist perversions in the coverage of Yakut literature” did not give him the opportunity to implement this fateful issue.

But what was the situation in the industrial technical schools of Yakutia in 1956? Of the 462 people who graduated from the Aldan Mining College over the past 6 years, only 8 were Yakuts and Evenks; of the 126 graduates of the Yakut Electrical Technical College of Communications who completed their studies in the period from 1953 to 1956, only seven were Yakuts; The municipal construction technical school graduated five Yakuts in 5 years. Due to the poor training of engineering and technical personnel from the local population, the latter accounted for only 3.7% of engineers employed in the industry of the republic, and 10% of technicians.
Based on the above, the bureau of the regional party committee put forward a new doctrine for the development of higher education in the republic, aimed at training engineering personnel through a sharp increase

targeted places for Yakutians in universities of the Center and Siberia (in 1956 - 500 places, in 1957 - 600 places) and the opening of a polytechnic institute in Yakutsk in 1960. And as an initial measure, it was decided in 1956 to open in Yakutsk a mining and geological faculty, a branch of the Irkutsk Mining and Metallurgical Institute with the specialties: geology and exploration of mineral deposits; development of mineral deposits with a contingent of 200 people.

It was determined which buildings to transfer for the future faculty and what measures to take to create the base of the polytechnic institute. Thus, a second doctrine for the development of higher education in Yakutia arose, which can conditionally be called the polytechnization of higher education. The first secretary of the Yakut regional party committee, S.Z., can be considered the author of this direction. Borisova. Semyon Zakharovich, in his theses prepared for speech at the 20th Congress of the CPSU in February 1956, noted the following thought: “We believe that the time has come for the Ministry of Higher Education of the USSR to resolve the issue of organizing a higher technical educational institution in Yakutsk in the sixth five-year plan, to put the end of the intolerable turnover of technical personnel in Yakutia.”

Avksentiy Egorovich Mordinov

Thus began the forward movement of the Yakut State University named after Maxim Kirovich Ammosov, which has been sailing the ocean of knowledge for half a century.

Teaching staff of the new university

University management in 1956 - 1957 academic year. year consisted of the following positions: rector - Doctor of Philosophy, Professor Mordinov Avksentiy Egorovich; vice-rector for educational and scientific work - candidate of geological and mineral sciences, associate professor Samodurov Petr Semenovich; Vice-Rector for Correspondence Education - Stepanov Petr Ivanovich (until February 1, 1957), Ph.D. Kostina Maria Dmitrievna; Vice-Rector for Administrative and Economic Work - Dmitry Vlasievich Permyakov; chief accountant - Kuzmin Fedor Iosifovich.

The first academic year of the university was supported by 21 departments, they were headed by: - Marxism-Leninism - Doctor of Philosophy, Professor Mordinov Avksentiy Egorovich;

They were the first on whose shoulders fell the entire burden of restructuring educational, methodological, research, political, educational, organizational work to implement the tasks of the new university, as well as higher technical, agricultural, and, since 1957, medical education, while simultaneously continuing to implement programs Pedagogical Institute for 2 - 4 courses.

In the 1956-1957 academic year, 1,247 full-time and 531 part-time students studied at Yakut State University.

History department

In 1907, only one Yakut received higher education. In 1915, three Yakuts studied at universities: 1 at the Moscow Agricultural Institute, 1 at Kazan University, 1 at the Shanyavsky Institute.

In 1929, the People's Commissariat of Education of the YASSR turned to the Irkutsk Pedagogical Institute with a request to open a department of Yakut studies. And in 1930, a Yakut department was created in Irkutsk, where 40 students studied. On January 3, 1933, the Presidium of the YACEC decided to open a pedagogical institute in Yakutsk in the fall of 1933 with an enrollment of 100 people. On October 8, 1934, classes began at the pedagogical institute. The official opening of the university was timed to coincide with the meeting of the All-Yakut Congress of Soviets in December 1934. At the congress, a report was heard on the historical significance of the opening of the institute in the YASSR, which was delivered by Deputy People's Commissar of Education I.M. Romanov. All participants of the congress, interrupting the meeting, visited the pedagogical institute.

In 1934, YAPI had two departments: history - 26 students and physics and mathematics - 31 students. Among the 12 teachers, there was not one with an academic degree. In 1935, the Department of Russian Language and Literature was opened. In 1936, a teacher's institute was created with departments of history, Russian language and literature.

With the opening of the university, a new stage begins in the economic and cultural development of the republic, the needs of which were largely to be met and provided by the new university. In the Soviet Union, after classes began within the walls of YSU, universities were opened in different years in Barnaul and Ufa, Gomel and Makhachkala, Donetsk and Kemerovo, Krasnoyarsk and Krasnodar, Novosibirsk and Omsk, Saransk and Yoshkar-Ola, Izhevsk and Cheboksary .

The Faculty of History is one of the oldest at the university. The first enrollment of students in the history department of the Yakut Pedagogical Institute took place in 1934. The study of historical disciplines within the framework of the higher education program in Yakutia began with the opening of the State Pedagogical Institute. The student of the first intake of historians was G.P. Basharin, who, having received a diploma of higher education from a Moscow university, became a teacher at his native institute. G.P. Basharin worked at the pedagogical institute from 1938 to 1940. Another 12 people worked as teachers. This was the beginning of higher historical education in Yakutia.

V.P. Basharin

In 1935, a correspondence department was opened at the historical department, which accepted 26 people. In 1936, a teacher's institute with a 2-year training period was opened at the Pedagogical Institute for the accelerated training of history teachers with incomplete higher education to work in incomplete (7 grades) secondary schools. In the same year, an evening department of the Teachers' Institute was also opened in the following specialties: history, Russian language and literature, physics and mathematics. Thus, in 1936, the structure of the historical department in the two institutes was finally established.

In 1938, the first graduates of the pedagogical (8 people) and teaching (15 people) institutes took place; a total of 23 history teachers were trained. These were the first certified historians trained in the republic. This is where the training of not only history teachers, but also general historians begins.

In the formation and development of the Faculty of History, the role and assistance of higher educational institutions in Moscow, Leningrad, Novosibirsk, Tomsk, Irkutsk and other regions of the country is great. The founder and first head of the department of history in 1934 - 1936 was V.A. Tsvetkov, graduate of the Moscow Institute of History and Philosophy. In 1936 - 1939, the department of history was headed by F.I. Sudarikov, a graduate of the same Moscow Institute. Envoys of the center M.I. took an active part in the training of historians of the republic. Blokh, E.A. Znamenskaya, A.V. Yakubik, V.I. Zhiko, I.V. Tiraspolskaya, S.S. Shusterman and others. Thus, representatives of universities of the Soviet Union made a significant contribution to the formation of higher historical education in Yakutia. I.M. also taught at the institute. Romanov, A.E. Mordinov, N.S. Romanov, G.A. Popov, V.P. Basharin, P.U. Petrov, A.I. Novgorodov, A.P. Okladnikov, R.I. Mestnikov, P.P. Pavlov, G.G. Makarov and others.

When the Yakut State University was opened in 1956, the historical department existed as part of the humanities faculty, which was renamed the historical and philological faculty in 1960. In January 1988, the Faculty of History and Law was formed. In May 2000, an independent history department was opened.

In 1956 there was no enrollment in the history department. In 1957, the first intake of students under the university program took place, and therefore there were no graduates in 1960-1961. In 1962, a recruitment group graduated with a 5-year period of study and in 1963 - with a 4-year period of study. Since 1967, enrollments have been made under the 5-year university program, and therefore there was no graduation in 1971.

The origins of university history education were Doctors of Historical Sciences G.P. Basharin, I.M. Romanov, F.G. Safronov. V.F. devoted a lot of effort to training historians. Afanasyev, I.G. Popov, R.I. Mestnikov, I.I. Mikhailov, A.P. Danilova, E.S. Sidorov, G.G. Makarov, S.F. Popov, I.E. Tomsky, V.V. Pinigin, A.A. Vasilevna. Gogolev, S.V. Atlasov, V.N. Ivanov, E.E. Alekseev, S.I. Kovlekov, P.U. Petrov and many others.

Under new conditions, a new nature of historical knowledge is also being determined. Historical education in the 21st century faces the most difficult task - to form a historical consciousness of society that is adequate to the objective historical process. Nihilism in history has caused great damage to public consciousness; now it is necessary to spiritually revive and form a citizen. Without a patriot, without an active civic personality, it is impossible to build a civil society. In solving this problem, a huge role should be played by humanities education, and historical education first of all.

F.G. Safronov

At Yakut State University, historical education has two directions: giving a systematic idea of history to students of non-historical specialties and professional training of general historians.

Today, at the Faculty of History, two classrooms are named after professors G.P. Basharin and I.M. Romanov as a token of gratitude for their outstanding services in training highly qualified historians. Also, personalized scholarships were established for G.P. Basharin and I.M. Romanova. These scholarships are awarded by decision of the Academic Council of the Yakut State University to history students who have achieved high levels of academic, social and scientific activity.

Our faculty is proud of the names of those who served on the fronts of the Great Patriotic War of 1941 - 1945. bravely defended his homeland. This is N.S. Romanov, P.M. Kornilov, I.G. Popov, N.I. Andreev, D.S. Makarov, I.A. Argunov, I.A. Tarasov, R.I. Mestnikov, P.P. Mikhalev, E.S. Tarkin, P.N. Tokarev, A.A., Vasiliev, G.I. Chiryaev, S.G. Denisov, K.E. Zakharov, P.S. Sofroneev, G.D. Efimov, G.N. Novikov and others. Graduate of the Leningrad Pedagogical Institute N.S. Romanov, a teacher at the Department of History of YAPI, on the last pre-war day, June 21, 1941, successfully defended his dissertation for the degree of candidate of historical sciences on the topic “Yasak in Yakutia in the 18th century.” The next day he went to the front. “They want to take away the happiness we have won,” he said, “this will not happen. Yesterday I was a researcher, today I am a fighter in the mighty Red Army.” “We won’t let them through alive. They will only pass through our corpses,” he wrote to his family from the front. On September 18, 1941, in fierce battles on the outskirts of Leningrad, Nikon Semenovich Romanov, a historian and scientist, died a heroic death. During the war years, many, sparing no effort and health, worked selflessly for the sake of bringing the Great Victory closer.

At the beginning of the 1946-1947 academic year, the Department of History of the YAPI was divided into two independent departments: the Department of History of the USSR and the Department of General History. However, several years later, due to the departure of a number of teachers to central cities in the 1955-1956 academic year, the Department of General History was merged with the Department of History of the USSR. The united department was headed by Candidate of Historical Sciences, Associate Professor F.G. Safronov.

In the 1960-1961 academic year, the combined department of history of the USSR and general history was divided into two independent ones: the department of history of the USSR was headed by F.G. Safronov, the department of general history was headed by G.P. Basharin.

Currently, there are five departments within the Faculty of History.

The Department of General History was organized in the 1946-1947 academic year, but later, in connection with the departure of leading teachers to the central universities of the country, in 1955 the Department of General History merged with the Department of History of the USSR. In 1960, the Department of General History was re-formed. It was headed by Honored Scientist of the RSFSR and YASSR, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor G.P. Basharin. Over the years, war and labor veterans, associate professors R.I., successfully worked at the department. Mestnikov, V.V. Pinigin, E.S. Sidorov. Veteran of labor, Professor N. A. Gogolev - Honored Worker of Public Education of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), Honored Worker of Physical Culture of the YASSR, Master of Sports of the USSR in freestyle wrestling. He went down in sports history as the first champion of the RSFSR from Yakutia. Labor veteran, professor S.V. Atlasov had many years of teaching experience and was one of the experienced teachers at YSU. Currently, the department is headed by Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor, Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the Republic of Sakha (Yakutia), full member of the New York Academy of Sciences A.I. Gogolev, N.A. works with him. Struchkova, M.P. Klimova, M.B. Amoyan, A.P. Andreev, G.S. Belolyubskaya.

The first head of the Department of History of the USSR (then it was called that) was V. A. Tsvetkov (1935 - 1936), in 1936 - 1938. he was replaced by F.I. Sudarikov. They were both graduates of the Moscow Institute of History and Philosophy, having worked for the period specified by the contract, they left. In addition to them, P.M. began working among the first teachers of the department. Nesterov, N.S. Romanov, G.A. Popov is a famous Yakut historian. Thanks to their efforts, the first steps were taken in the training of highly qualified historians. For a long time, the Department of History of the USSR was headed by Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor I.M. Romanov, Honored Scientist of the RSFSR and YASSR. At different periods, E.E. worked at the department. Alekseev, S.I. Kovlekov, G.A. Vinokurov, G.I. Samsonova, N.D. Efimova, S.N. Gorokhov, L.T. Ivanova, N.D. Arkhipov, F.F. Zhelobtsov, A.N. Alekseev, A.V. Vasiliev, I.V. Zyryanova, M.I. Brovchenko, A.A. Ivanova, R.P. Guryev.

In 1991, the department was renamed the Department of History of Russia, it is headed by Doctor of Historical Sciences Yu.N. Ermolaeva, A.N. works at the department. Dyachkova, N.N. Kochmar, I.I. Romanov, A.P. Nikolaev, N.N. Radchenko, N.V. Tretyakova, M.F. Markova. Teachers of the department teach classes in a wide range of disciplines: history of Russia, source studies, historiography, archeology, auxiliary historical disciplines (palaeography, chronology, metrology, archival studies, museology), methodology of history, methods of teaching history, special courses are taught and special seminars are held. The department also manages practices: archaeological, archival, museum, pedagogical and pre-diploma.

An important direction in the activities of the department is the teaching of “History of the Fatherland” in all institutes and faculties of the Yakut State University. This, of course, plays a big role in the formation of citizenship and patriotic education of students of non-historical specialties.

Faculty of Philology

The history of higher philological education formally began in 1935, when a department of Russian language and literature was opened as part of the Yakut Pedagogical Institute. But philology is a specialty that is largely associated with the traditions, mentality and spiritual culture of the people. Therefore, the successful development of philological education and science in Yakutia became possible thanks to the efforts of several generations of enthusiasts, educators and scientists who created a solid foundation for humanitarian culture.

N.G. Samsonov

A. Kulakovsky spoke about the need to create national fiction in a letter to the “Yakut intelligentsia” (1912). His wide-ranging activities as a folklorist, collector and commentator on monuments of oral folk art are known. A. Sofronov and N. Neustroev were patriots of the native language and propagandists of Russian literature. The first Yakut linguist S. Novgorodov, who wrote the article “Yakuts and the University” back in 1919, dreamed of higher philological education. He also created a new alphabet based on Latin graphics, officially adopted in 1924, and compiled a Yakut primer.

A significant milestone in the development of Yakut philology was the activity of P. Oyunsky, not only one of the founders of Yakut literature, but also a general philologist, compiler of the Russian-Yakut spelling dictionary, and organizer of the academic Institute of Language and Literature.

The Pedagogical Institute played an outstanding role for the development of science, culture and education of the republic, approximately the same as the famous MIFLI performed on a Russian scale. It is no coincidence that a whole galaxy of national writers, honored teachers, famous scientists, journalists, cultural and artistic figures emerged from its walls. It was the graduates of the Pedagogical Institute who became heads of university departments and academic structures, headed promising areas of research in the field of philological sciences, and laid the foundations for future scientific schools.

Professor T.P. Samsonov in the 70s

Among them were doctors of science, professor N.K. Antonov, V.M. Anisimov, M.S. Voronkin, N.D. Dyachkovsky, N.V. Emelyanov, E.I. Korkina, N.E. Petrov, N.G. Samsonov, T.P. Samsonova, P.A. Sleptsov, N.N. Toburokov, candidates of sciences G.K. Boeskorov, K.S. Evseeva, K.I. Platonova, I.G. Popov, U.M. Protopopova, G.S. Syromyatnikov and others. Many of them today continue their active scientific and pedagogical activities.

Scientists and specialists from central universities of Russia made a great contribution to the formation of Yakut Russian studies and the development of philological education in Yakutia: A.M. Babkin, who later became a Doctor of Science, laureate of the Lenin Prize, M.S. Gurevich, B.A. Pavlovsky, T.A. Shub, V.V. Yakovlev, N.N. Reingard, A.N. Tan, K.F. Pasyutin, V.A. Lebedev and some others.

The university stage is the most significant and intensive in the development of philological education and science. To meet the needs and requirements of a developing society, new departments and entire faculties were opened. In 1969, the Faculty of Foreign Languages was organized. In 1988, the Faculty of Philology was separated as an independent department of YSU, and four years later the Faculty of Yakut Philology and Culture gained “sovereignty.”

Initially, at the time of the opening of the Yakut State University in 1956, three philological departments functioned as part of the Faculty of Humanities: Russian language and general linguistics, Russian and foreign literature, Yakut language and literature. The first university enrollment of students was carried out only in two departments: Russian language and literature (RO) and Russian language and literature for Yakut schools (ROYASH). From the next year, 1957, recruitment was carried out, in addition to RO and ROYASH, for the historical and Yakut departments.

The first heads of university philological departments were: Russian language and general linguistics - Candidate of Philological Sciences, Associate Professor M.F. Druzhinin, Russian and foreign literature - K.F. Pasyutin.

Among the teachers of the department of Russian language and literature were literary scholars - a participant in the Great Patriotic War, holder of the Order of Glory K.F. Pasyutin, E.Ya. Kirillina, V.A. Semenov, V.A. Lebedev, A.A. Shchetskaya, linguists N.G. Samsonov, M.F. Druzhinina, V.P. Tatarinova, K.S. Evseeva, A.K. Lebedeva, P.P. Kurchatova, A.M. Pakina, W.M. Protopopova, N.A. Trifonova, methodologists - T.P. Samsonova, T.I. Orlova and others.

Institute of Mathematics and Informatics

At the time of its opening, there was not a single mathematics teacher with an academic degree at the university. Therefore, the training of scientific and pedagogical personnel in mathematics has become a subject of special concern to the university administration. In 1957, at the invitation of the rector of YSU, prof. A.E. Mordinov from Leningrad University, a large group of mathematicians and mechanics arrived, including A.P. Shapiro, A.M. Rukavishnikov, T.N. Shamaeva, A.F. Antonenko, O.B. Shchuko, G.I. Bulygina.

The best graduates of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics, who graduated from the university according to the curriculum of the Pedagogical Institute, were sent to Leningrad and other leading universities for internships so that within a year, after passing exams for the university course, they would prepare for admission to graduate school. Thus, E.T. was sent to Leningrad State University. Sofronov, T.N. Sellyakhova, M.M. Atakova, M.M. Nikulin, at the Herzen Leningrad State Pedagogical Institute - G.M. Kolodeznikov.

All of them successfully completed the task and subsequently became leading teachers at YSU. E.T. was the first to defend his Ph.D. thesis in 1965 after graduating from graduate school at Leningrad State University. Sofronov, becoming the first candidate of science in mathematics from YSU graduates. Before this, mathematics was taught by S.N. Semenov, L.G. Everstova, U.M. Asekritov, G.M. Kolodeznikov, M.P. Kylatchanov, V.V. Alekseev, who completed postgraduate studies at central universities and research institutes in different years.

Great achievements in the training of scientific and pedagogical personnel in mathematics belong to Leningrad (St. Petersburg) University. Doctors of Science G.V. completed their postgraduate studies at this university. Tomsky, N.N. Danilov, Yu.I. Trofimtsev, Candidates of Sciences I.G. Egorov. P.P. Petrov, N.K. Alekseev, D.D.

Gurzo, Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of the USSR - E.P. Zhirkov, A.I. Petrova, Leningrad State Pedagogical Institute named after Herzen - A.V. Ivanova. Specialists are also trained through local graduate school (S.P. Kaigorodov, R.I. Egorov, N.A. Romanova, etc.).

The first teachers of mathematical disciplines at the pedagogical institute were N.I. Sharapov, a graduate of the Herzen Pedagogical Institute, and S.V. Rodionov. The Faculty of Physics and Mathematics at the Pedagogical Institute was created in 1937, N.I. Sharapov was appointed its first dean.

Subsequently, new mathematics teachers arrived from the center: B.M. Struminsky, graduate of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of the Nikolaev Pedagogical Institute, M.S. Tskhai, A.P. Efleev, teacher F.G., who had extensive teaching experience, was invited. Dyakonov. A.P. During the Great Patriotic War, Efleev worked as deputy people's commissar of education of the Yakut Autonomous Soviet Socialist Republic and director of the Yakut Pedagogical Institute.

It was difficult to recruit students, and there was an acute shortage of teaching staff. In 1946, V.V. was retained for teaching work. Alekseev.

In 1948, I.M. was seconded to work at the pedagogical institute immediately after demobilization from the army. Karasev, a graduate of Saratov State University, graduated from graduate school in 1936, who did a lot to improve the teaching of mathematics at the pedagogical institute. He was the initiator of leaving faculty graduates at the department immediately after graduation. In those years, L.G. was left in teaching work. Everstova, S.N. Semenov, G.M. Kolodeznikov, M.P. Kylatchanov, who soon became leading teachers of mathematical disciplines.

The first graduation of 32 young mathematicians from the university program took place in 1961.
From 1964 to 1965, enrollment in the mathematics department reached 75 people. The computer laboratory, opened in 1963, began to gain strength. In the second half of the sixties, candidate dissertations were defended by U.M. Asekritov and N.M. Okhlopkov. N.M. Okhlopkov began teaching a programming course, students began to gain some skills in working with electronic computers. Training of specialists in computational mathematics has begun.

The emergence of the first specialists with academic degrees in mathematical analysis, probability theory and mathematical statistics, control theory, algebra and logic made it possible to open specializations in algebra and logic, computational mathematics, differential equations, and function theory. Collections of scientific works of teachers were published, the first awards were won in various competitions, at exhibitions, reviews of student work, the first reports were read at all-Union, regional and interuniversity student conferences.

In 1977, the university's Faculty of Physics and Mathematics was divided into two faculties: mathematics and physics.

With the opening of an independent mathematics department, a new stage in its development began.

Admission to the first course was increased to 100 people. The Department of Mathematical Analysis and Differential Equations was divided into two departments. Students began specializing in applied mathematics. The computing laboratory gradually expanded.

In subsequent years, the faculty continues to develop at a fairly rapid pace. The information and computing center (ICC) was separated from the faculty into an independent structural unit. Doctoral dissertations were defended by I.I. Shamaev, V.Yu. Shadrin, V.V. Maksimov.

According to the program of the Pedagogical Institute, the faculty graduated 32 and gave the republic about 320 mathematics teachers, and by 2005 the university graduated 45 mathematicians. The number of trained specialists in 2005 was 3,432 people, including 677 mathematics teachers, 2,358 mathematics specialists, many of whom also work as mathematics teachers, and 258 graduates of the specialty “Applied Mathematics and Informatics.” Since 2000, the graduation of specialists—masters—has begun mathematics, their number was 65 people, since 2004 two graduations have been made in the specialty “Applied Informatics in Economics” - our republic received 58 computer scientists-economists, and in 2005 the first graduation of computer science teachers took place in the amount of 16 people.

Of the graduates, 14 people became doctors of sciences and 75 candidates of sciences.

Each educational institution is proud of its graduates. The mathematical department of YSPI, the Faculty of Mathematics, and the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics of the university also have something to be proud of.
