Yaroslavl State Pedagogical University named after K. D. Ushinsky is one of the oldest pedagogical higher educational institutions in Russia.

1918 - 1924. Formative years

Pupils of the teacher's institute considered their educational institution as the basis for opening a pedagogical institute. At the expanded pedagogical council held on February 15, 1918, the teacher of mathematics B.K. On October 28, the council of the institute, “reorganized in a revolutionary way”, which included students on an equal footing, elected a new board: K. A. Smirnov (chairman of the council), P. Smolev (secretary of the council - student), A. I. Bystrov ( from teachers), P. N. Kosmachev (from the experimental school), M. P. Sheblov and Kelin (from students). The elections were held on the basis of the conditions for the formation of elected bodies to manage the institute, developed by the revolutionary-minded students on February 15, 1918.

For the period from February to November 1918, the staff of the institute drew up curricula, outlined the composition of teachers, and developed an indicative estimate. Representatives of the institute participated on August 18 in the work of the 1st congress for the training of teachers, gathered in Moscow by the People's Commissar of Education.

Even at the university, it was planned to create in Yaroslavl a local history research institute of the Upper Volga region. The Pedagogical Institute is involved in the creation of a local history center, in which scientists from neighboring provinces and Moscow expressed their desire to cooperate. In 1928, an organizing committee was created in Yaroslavl, but in connection with the new administrative-territorial division and the formation of the Ivanovo industrial region, it was decided to establish an institute in Ivanovo with a branch in Yaroslavl. The branch under the chairmanship of V. N. Bochkarev began to work, although the institute did not work in Ivanovo.

Local history museums become centers of local history. In 1930, an all-Union local history conference was held in Moscow, and a local history congress was held in Ivanovo. The Yaroslavl Natural History Society published local history collections, among which the second collection “Yaroslavl Territory” (1930) stands out, edited by M. E. Kadek, S. S. Dmitriev, S. A. Koporsky. But on March 18, 1930, the Natural History Society of Local Lore ceased to exist - as they say, due to circumstances beyond its control; the last chairman of the society was associate professor of the pedagogical institute S. N. Slobodsky.

Between 1924 and 1927, a physiological laboratory and an anatomical museum were established. A great contribution to the formation of the Department of Anatomy and Physiology of Human and Animals was made by well-known doctors in Yaroslavl and beyond. Professor of the City Clinical Hospital N. S. Solovyov lectured on human physiology, first at the university, and then at the pedagogical institute. The course of hygiene from 1924 to 1929 was read by the well-known sanitary doctor of the city G. I. Kurochkin. Since 1920 at the university, and since 1924 at the Pedagogical Institute, a pediatrician, a well-known health worker A.F. Opochinsky, worked. He read the anatomy and physiology of children, and since 1933 - school hygiene.

In the same years, the best traditions were laid in the work of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics. The founder of the Department of Physics was Professor K. N. Shaposhnikov, who headed it from 1924 to 1930. Lectures on physics from 1927 to 1930 were read by a prominent specialist in the field of geophysics invited from Moscow, later Academician V.V. Shuleikin, the author of more than 350 works on marine physics.

From 1924 to 1930, the Department of Higher Mathematics was headed by Professor L. N. Zapolskaya, the first Russian woman algebraist, the author of a textbook on higher algebra, who was interested in questions of mechanics and astronomy. Zapolskaya graduated from the University of Göttingen, in Germany she became a doctor of philosophy in pure mathematics, and in Moscow a professor.

In the 1930s, Professor N. A. Izvolsky headed the Department of Mathematics. He has worked at the Pedagogical Institute since 1924. This is the author of textbooks on arithmetic, geometry, algebra, methods of teaching geometry.

In the 1920s, such well-known scientists as S. I. Radtsig (course on the history of ancient literature), N. I. Radtsig (history), V. N. Myshtsyn (doctor of church law, taught the history of religion and history of primitive culture, in the pedagogical institute - social science), I. O. Zubov (defectology), I. P. Chetverikov (pedology), B. L. Bernshtein (soil science).

In 1926, the first volume of the Proceedings of the Yaroslavl Pedagogical Institute was published, edited by P. N. Gruzdev. Ten issues were published in 1926-1929. In 1930, this publication ceased, and it was resumed already in 1944 under the title "Scientific Notes".

Educational work was carried out according to the plan developed jointly by the Yaroslavl Gubono and Gubernia Gubernia. The load of students was great, since the curricula of that time had the goal of broadening the horizons of future teachers and were multi-subject. For example, in all departments, general education subjects were: general biology, human anatomy and physiology, history of primitive culture, history National economy in connection with the history of economic doctrines, the history of modern times in Russia and the West, state building and the foundations of Soviet law, an introduction to art history. All disciplines of the socio-political, psychological and pedagogical cycle, general education courses were taught in a consolidated stream for all departments. The main type of training sessions were lectures and independent work of students. Practical classes were held only in special disciplines. Special seminars on the main disciplines were held at the senior courses. Students had the opportunity to attend several seminars, although only one per semester was required.

The admission of students was carried out in the spirit of the era: at the expense of persons sent to study by the Komsomol or trade union organizations. The students themselves determined the mode of their work. Examination sessions differed from modern ones in that students had the opportunity to determine the deadline for passing the exam, since there were three of them during the month. Therefore, as a rule, students came to the exam prepared.

According to the decision of the subject commission, each student was supposed to be engaged in research work, and since 1923, it has been established that students must complete the graduation course of theses. In the 1925/26 academic year, 129 theses were completed, including 77 in local history.

Particular attention was paid to pedagogical practice. The Pedagogical Institute had a basic school where experiments were carried out on teaching and educating students.

Cells of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks and the Komsomol were created within the walls of the institute. In 1924-1926, the secretary of the Komsomol committee at the Pedagogical Institute was V.P. Toptygin, who later for more than 30 years was the director of the theater named after F.G. Volkova.

The Institute's library was at that moment already the largest collection of books in the city. In 1926, the library had 57,388 titles of books.

In 1928, the Pedagogical Institute celebrated its 10th anniversary. This date was celebrated solemnly. The Volkov Theater hosted a joint meeting of the Provincial Congress of Soviets together with the Council and staff of the Institute. The introductory speech was delivered by the rector P. F. Efremov, Professor P. N. Gruzdev spoke from the Glavprofobr with a report “On the Way to a New Teacher”, Professor A. I. Avraamov (Head of the Department of Philosophy since 1922) made a report demands of modern natural science. At this meeting, the Englishman Dobb also spoke on behalf of the "revolutionary teachers of England."

The decade of the institute almost coincided with a decisive turning point in the life of the country. The totalitarian system asserts itself. A new stage begins in the fate of the institute, characterized by both ups and downs.

In 1928-1929 the problem of training scientific and technical personnel for the growing national economy of the USSR was formulated with particular sharpness. Solving this problem, the country's leadership considered the issue of higher education a major political task. The resolution of the party congress of 1927 "On improving the training of new specialists" is a program for the development of higher education in the country. In order to improve the educational process, instructions were given to organically link educational work with production, improve the material equipment of universities, expand the cadres of teachers and professors, intensify the training of young scientists through postgraduate studies, and increase the admission of workers to universities to 65 percent of the total admission.

Pedagogical education was devoted to a special resolution of the party in 1929 "On the training of teachers of pedagogical universities and pedagogical colleges and the retraining of teachers." In it, special attention is paid to improving the formulation of pedagogical disciplines and pedagogical practice, the development of methods of educational work, extracurricular education.

In 1928, the first thousand communists who had gone through the school of party, Soviet, and trade union work were sent to higher educational institutions. It was the first of a series of massive recruitment of "thousanders". These students were to become the main political force in the universities. They were politically trained and technically savvy, making them ideally suited to lead the new mobilization efforts. Already in the 1932/33 academic year, they will make up one third of the total number of students in higher educational institutions. They became graduates just in time for the beginning of the Stalinist purges of 1936-1939, when generations of the old intelligentsia were exterminated especially harshly. From the “thousanders” a new, numerous intelligentsia, brought up in the Leninist-Stalinist spirit, was created, which is necessary in an industrial-totalitarian society.

The Sixteenth Congress of the Communist Party in 1930 raised the question of the transition to universal compulsory primary education. In this regard, from 1930-1931, compulsory primary (four-year) education for children was introduced in the USSR. In industrial cities, factory settlements, the task was set to carry out general education in the amount of a seven-year school. The government decree “On universal compulsory primary education” of 1930 was implemented at a rapid pace, the number of students in secondary and higher schools was growing, so it was necessary to ensure the training of teaching staff.

In 1929, A. V. Lunacharsky, People's Commissar for Education, was removed from his post. The reform of the school began to develop in accordance with the ideas of the supporters of the monotechnical school. The upper classes of the secondary school were transformed into technical schools or vocational schools, and at the end of 1930 all schools received an order to attach themselves to some kind of production. Schoolchildren spent most of their time in production, became members of work teams, and even received work books. Studying at school was relegated to the background, the school simply withered away. Although this campaign, in its most radical forms, did not last long, it had unfortunate consequences.

1930 is the year of the reorganization of the country's higher educational institutions with the aim of strengthening the polytechnical nature of education. The structure of the Pedagogical Institute is changing due to the need to train teachers for factory seven-year schools, schools for collective farm youth, factory schools, preschool institutions, and technical schools. The term of study for students was reduced to three years. The institute began to be called industrial-pedagogical. New departments were created to meet the needs of the region, for example, preschool, FZS department (with physical-technical and physical-technological sections), agro-pedagogical (with livestock and flax breeding sections). In addition, there were departments: physical-technical, chemical-biological, natural science, historical-economic, literary-linguistic.

Such a reform was a temporary measure, caused by the need not only for teachers, but also for specialists in the national economy in general. In December 1932, four-year education was restored, and the institute again received the name of pedagogical.

By order of the People's Commissar of Education dated July 14, 1930, the Yaroslavl Workers' Faculty, which existed until 1940, was transferred to the Institute. The workers' faculties were given the task of preparing students for entering the university.

In the 1931/32 academic year, in 39 pedagogical institutes of the RSFSR, including in Yaroslavl, correspondence course sectors (ZKS) were formed in accordance with the resolution of the People's Commissariat of Education of the RSFSR "On the organization of correspondence teacher education." The part-time sector was entrusted with the task of training new teachers for schools, as well as improving the qualifications of teachers for the vast Ivanovo industrial region. The contingent of part-time students consisted of senior secondary school teachers with no higher education and preschool teachers. Subsequently, the correspondence sector was transformed into a correspondence department, which began to work as part of the faculties of the institute. The first graduation of teachers who graduated from the Yaroslavl Pedagogical Institute in absentia took place in 1935. Teachers received higher education without leaving school.

In 1932, the reorganization of the seven-year technical school into a ten-year one began; a unified secondary school with a ten-year term of study was established in the country.

In 1932, 889 students studied at the Pedagogical Institute. There were the following departments: physical, mathematical, economic, biological, historical, literary and linguistic, preschool. In 1934, the historical department was transferred to the Ivanovo Pedagogical Institute. In the autumn of 1934, the system of departments was replaced by faculties, there were four of them in the Pedagogical Institute: Physics and Mathematics, Language and Literature, Natural Science, Pedagogical. The Faculty of Education had only a pre-school department, which was closed in 1939, and the students were transferred to the Pedagogical Institute in Rostov-on-Don.

From 1932 to 1935, the institute published the newspaper "For Kadry", then it became known as "For Pedagogical Personnel".

In 1934, in connection with the introduction of universal compulsory seven-year education, a two-year teacher's institute was opened at the institute, which lasted until 1954. It had departments: physical and mathematical, natural sciences, language and literature. Teachers who graduated from the teacher's institute completed their higher education at the corresponding faculty of the pedagogical institute. The head of the teacher's institute was the deputy rector V.P. Zachesov.

In 1935, the restrictions on admission to universities associated with social origin were nominally lifted. The new youth, who had already grown up under the Soviet regime and brought up in a new spirit, filled the classrooms of the universities. However, for the children of "enemies of the people" universities usually remained closed.

In order to increase the demands on the knowledge of students from the 1936/37 academic year, state exams were introduced for graduating from a university. Only persons with a graduation certificate were eligible to enter the university full course secondary school.

The resolutions of 1932 and 1934 pointed out the weak side of the school curriculum: "the insufficiency of the historical approach." In the light of the new political situation, the task was to train highly qualified teachers in history and geography. And so, in 1938, the Faculty of History was created at the Yaroslavl Pedagogical Institute, in 1939 - the Faculty of Natural Geography, the corresponding departments were also opened at the Teachers' Institute. In 1940, courses were also organized for the training of teachers of foreign languages, which in 1942 were transformed into the Faculty of Foreign Languages. The courses were headed by V. K. Makareevskaya.

Work on the restructuring of the institute proceeded in an atmosphere of complex intra-party and ideological struggle in the country. Shortcomings in the work, the impossibility of instantly adjusting the complex educational process to the tasks of the day, were increasingly explained by "the intrigues and sabotage of the Trotskyist-Zinoviev elements." The permanent campaign against "sabotage" was expanded. A combination of propaganda and repression, demagogy, falsification of facts were the methods of the party leadership.

The frequent, almost annual, change of the institute's rectors was also clearly not good for the cause. From 1928 to 1930, P.F. Efremov was the rector, then ten rectors changed within ten years - A.N. Bobrov, V.S. Nikolsky, P.A. Lavrin, A.F. Svistunov, A.A. Suchkov, A. P. Kuzmin, V. V. Skobeev, A. M. Chulkov, I. V. Baskakov, F. M. Zemlyansky. The administration made mistakes in the management of the university and a biased attitude towards teachers, which led to the dropout of staff and a decrease in the level of work of the institute.

The graduate school, which worked quite actively in the early 30s, contributed to the creation of its own personnel. Twenty candidates of sciences who worked at the institute on the eve of the Great Patriotic War, were postgraduate graduates of the Yaroslavl Pedagogical Institute. It was they who formed the core of the team, headed departments, were deans of faculties, and carried out active scientific work: A. S. Gvozdarev, A. N. Ivanov, V. I. Kondorskaya, G. G. Melnichenko, L. M. Kantor, M. A. Pustynnikova, S. F. Kargalova, L. M. Rybakov, A. A. Chernov, N. M. Belovashina.

On the whole, on the eve of the Great Patriotic War, the institute remained the main and only center of higher education in the city and the region. It had a well-qualified staff of teachers. Six faculties, 17 departments had equipment that contributed to the training of high-quality specialists.

During the two pre-war decades, 2834 teachers graduated from the Institute.

1941 - 1945. Institute during the Great Patriotic War

On June 22, 1941, at 2 pm, teachers, staff and students of the institute gathered in the assembly hall for a rally, the participants of which, branding the aggressor, expressed their readiness to defend the Motherland and go to the front as volunteers.

The party bureau and committee of the All-Union Leninist Young Communist League of the Institute began to receive dozens of applications with a request to be enrolled as volunteers in the army. On July 3, 1941, a general meeting of teachers, students and employees of the institute took place. The meeting participants declared their determination to give all their strength, skills and knowledge, and if necessary, their lives to defeat the aggressor. Director of the Institute F. M. Zemlyansky, Dean of the Faculty of Russian Language and Literature A. S. Gvozdarev called on the participants of the meeting to work, discipline, organization.

Soon the first group of volunteers went to the front. Among them were the director of the institute F. M. Zemlyansky, the assistant director of the Teachers' Institute P. V. Zachesov, the dean of the Faculty of History A. G. Filimonov, teachers S. V. Arkhangelsky, P. Ya. Blokhin, P. P. Budchekov, Ya. S. Maksimov, I. A. Sluchak, B. N. Uspensky, doctor A. A. Pariyskiy, accountant V. V. Razin, post-graduate student V. K. Michurin, head of the Institute’s Air Defense Staff I. F. Osipov, manager houses M. A. Kovardin, V. Kartashev, B. Kiselev, A. Razvodov, V. Syroezhin and others. In total, 104 teachers and 58 students went to the front in the first days and months of the war.

Since June 22, 1941, the Institute switched to wartime regime. Classes were temporarily suspended. Preparations began to repel air strikes. The work of the local air defense detachment unfolded. On June 25, 1941, the director of the institute ordered the creation of a detachment of the PVCO. O. A. Tunoshskaya was appointed its head. MPVO posts were created in educational building No. 2, in a residential building on Tchaikovsky Street. Bomb shelters were arranged in the basements, barrels with water, sand, tongs for dropping lighters were placed in the attics.

In the fall of 1941, in connection with the surrender of Kalinin (Tver), there was a real threat of an enemy breakthrough into the Yaroslavl region. Yaroslavl became a front-line city. The bombings began. During this troubled time, the institute's detachment of the MPVO was transferred to the barracks. During one of the raids, bombs fell on the streets of Tchaikovsky and Saltykov-Shchedrin, near the buildings of the institute. The detachment had to participate in extinguishing fires, to provide assistance to citizens who lived in this quarter.

At the end of 1941, German troops were 50 kilometers from the western borders of the Yaroslavl region. The urgent construction of defensive lines became integral part measures to organize the defense of the capital. By the forces of the fighters of the PVCO detachment, teachers, employees and residents, cracks, shelters in the basements and bomb shelters were built in the courtyards of educational buildings and nearby residential buildings. Several detachments were sent to the front line: they dug ditches, built bunkers. In total, in 1941-1942, 800 students and 136 teachers took part in various works on the creation of defensive structures.

On October 13, the Yaroslavl Regional Committee of the All-Union Communist Party of Bolsheviks sent a letter to the State Defense Committee, in which he asked for permission in connection with the approach of the front line to the borders of the region, to create 2-3 divisions from communists, Komsomol members and militias. On October 15, permission was received. On October 21, a decision was made to form a rifle division. It was called the Communist, because every second of its fighters was a communist. Voluntarily joined its ranks and some teachers and students of the institute. The 234th Yaroslavl Communist Rifle Lomonosov-Prague Orders of Suvorov and Khmelnitsky Division fought more than 2,500 kilometers from the Volga to the Elbe.

In the building of the institute in 1941-1942 the headquarters was located and the formation of the 28th (later 65th) army under the command of P.I. Batov took place.

The Yaroslavl Pedagogical Institute received and accommodated evacuees from Moscow, Leningrad, Smolensk, Bryansk and other cities. Only from February 1 to May 1, 1942, 167 echelons arrived in the city, in which there were 316 thousand people. In November 1941, a group of teachers arrived from the Kalinin Pedagogical Institute. Many of them remained to work at the institute.

In the spring of 1942, wounded, shell-shocked servicemen and those evacuated from besieged Leningrad along the "road of life" began to arrive constantly. The work of the evacuation center at the Vspolye station was carried out by the institute link of the self-defense group headed by T. Kurakina.

Donation became widespread at the institute during the war years. Employees of the institute were involved at night to work on the runway of airfields in Dyadkovo and Tunoshna, to clear railways, tram tracks from snow and after the bombing, to unload firewood for the Yaroslavl CHP.

During the war years, the Institute repeatedly held subbotniks and Sundays. Earned funds were transferred to the defense fund. The teachers and staff of the institute handed over 1.2 million rubles in government bonds. In 1942, the staff of the institute was thanked by the Supreme Commander-in-Chief for collecting 100 thousand rubles for the construction of a combat aircraft "Yaroslavl Pedagogical Institute". The students donated part of the money they earned to the fund for the construction of the Yaroslavsky Komsomolets submarine. Fundraising was also held for the construction of a tank column.

The city lacked fuel, electricity and food, but the educational process continued. Classes, scientific research began on August 1, 1941.

In connection with the mobilization measures, the leadership of the institute and faculties also changed. During the war years, the Institute was headed by: F. M. Zemlyansky, N. E. Magarik, I. A. Fursenko, I. V. Bortnikov, A. S. Gvozdarev, N. G. Chvankin.

The quantitative and qualitative composition of teachers has changed. If before the war there were 114 (5 professors, 26 associate professors, candidates of science), then in 1941-1942 - 81 (15 professors, 30 associate professors, candidates of science). The increase in the number of qualified scientists occurred as a result of their evacuation from besieged Leningrad, Kharkov, Voroshilovgrad, Kalinin and other cities temporarily occupied by the enemy. By 1945-1946, there were 169 teachers, with a large layer of graduates.

In 1941, due to the lack of teachers in the country's schools, along with the main ones, an additional graduation of 306 people in the correspondence department was carried out.

A new mode of operation was established in accordance with the requirements of wartime. Winter holidays for students and teachers were cancelled. The first semester was extended until March 5, 1942. The working day lengthened. Due to the duration of practice, student vacations, and an increase in the weekly workload to 42 hours, new disciplines were introduced: military sanitation, agricultural mechanization. In order to make up for the loss of study time, by decision of the People's Commissar of Education in 1942, the academic year was extended until July inclusive.

The reduction of teaching space, the insufficient capacity of laboratories and classrooms forced curricula and programs to be changed in the direction of reduction. Classes in 1941 had to be organized in three shifts, from 8.00 to 22.30. For independent work there were no conditions at the institute. The students lived in private apartments, as the dormitories were transferred to the military department. Students, as well as teachers, began to lack not only paper and ink, but also food, heat, and electricity. Lectures were sometimes given by kerosene lamps. Two more hospitals were opened at the institute. Now the institute was located on the remaining areas of the first educational building.

At the end of 1941, the institute received an order to prepare for evacuation. At night, teachers and students packed the most valuable things for the educational process: equipment, instruments, books and other property. After the defeat of the Germans near Moscow in December 1941, the situation changed and the need for evacuation disappeared.

Enemy air raids still continued, but they were already less intense. Now students were less involved in unloading wagons, procuring fuel, and removing rubble on the roads. However, constant duty continued in hospitals, in evacuation centers. Students and teachers still had to work in logging and peat extraction.

From the beginning of the war until 1944, the institute practiced accepting students without entrance exams. But the quality of classes, the progress of students were considered the main thing in the work of the institute. Despite great difficulties, the institute fulfilled all curricula. The correspondence department of the institute did not stop functioning. In total, during the years of the Great Patriotic War, the institute trained 1,500 specialists.

Only in 1944 the institute received again its study areas and hostels. Since March 1944, educational work has normalized, classes were held in two shifts.

All departments conducted scientific work. The publication of Scientific Notes was suspended several times during the war in order to save paper. Even orders for the institute were printed on the covers of old notebooks, wrapping paper. "Scientific Notes" began to be published again only at the end of 1943. By this time, the institute's researchers had prepared 64 articles. During 1943-1945, the Institute published 5 issues of Scientific Notes. During this period, 6 brochures of a popular science nature were also published, more than a hundred articles in the local press.

Of the employees who worked at the institute during the war years, 12 people were awarded orders: the Order of Lenin - N. M. Belovashina, A. A. Kulemin, N. I. Shakhanin; Order of the Red Banner of Labor - P. G. Andreev, V. S. Zenchuk, O. A. Kosyakina, N. N. Shemyanov; Order of the Badge of Honor - N. M. Belovashina, A. S. Gvozdarev, G. G. Melnichenko, L. M. Rybakov, A. N. Sokolov, L. A. Chernov.

Sokolov, K. P. Surikov, P. I. Chernov.

By decree of the Presidium of the Supreme Soviet of the USSR on February 26, 1945, the guard captain F.P. Seliverstov was awarded the title of Hero of the Soviet Union. This graduate of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics, having become a reconnaissance pilot, already on the fifth day of the war shot down a German plane. In total, he has 236 sorties on his account. For military exploits, he was awarded 15 awards.

Medal "For Valiant Labor During the Great Patriotic War of 1941-1945" 119 people were awarded at the institute.

Employees of the Institute S. V. Arkhangelsky, M. A. Kovardin, P. D. Noskov, A. Razvodov, I. A. Sluchak and others, students and graduates I. Vasyuchenko, S. Voznesensky, N. Zakharov did not return from the front , V. Kartashov, V. Kiselev, V. Lavrova, V. Osipov, A. Pavlov, F. Popov, V. Syroezhin, A. Shlykov and many others.

1946 - 1958. In the post-war years

In the first post-war academic year, 1176 people studied at the Yaroslavl Pedagogical Institute. In addition, 360 people studied at the Rybinsk Teachers' Institute, which operated under the Yaroslavl Pedagogical Institute and became part of it in 1958. Of these 1536 students, 153 were yesterday's soldiers: 114 demobilized and 39 war invalids.

Not a single student in the sessions in the first post-war academic year received an unsatisfactory grade. And the percentage of good and excellent marks was high. Of the 407 graduates who passed the state exams, 25 received diplomas with honors.

During these years, the Institute continued to be headed by N. G. Chvankin, who became its director in November 1944. In the first post-war year, out of 204 teachers provided by the staffing table, only 170 actually worked, including 16 professors (out of 24 in the state) and 39 associate professors (out of 93).

With the opening of the Faculty of Physical Education and Sports in 1947, the number of faculties of the Pedagogical Institute increased to seven. Now the institute had the following faculties: history, Russian language and literature, physics and mathematics, foreign languages ​​(with three departments: English, German and French), natural science, geographical, physical education and sports. The Rybinsk Teachers' Institute, which continued to function at the institute, had four departments: history, literature, physics and mathematics, and natural-geography.

In 1951, by combining the Faculty of Natural Science with the Faculty of Geography and the Faculty of Russian Language and Literature with the Faculty of History, the Faculty of Natural Geography (with the specialties "Natural Science" and "Geography") and the Faculty of History and Philology (with the specialties "History" and "Russian Language and Literature") were formed. ").

In the mid-1950s, the profile of teacher training at the institute was expanded, and the training period was extended to 5 years.

The reorganization of the structure of the institute took place in 1956, when three-month preparatory courses were opened for young people from production (96 people were involved). And admission to the institute for the 1957/58 academic year, compared with the previous year (275 people), was increased to 325 people.

In the first post-war years, the Pedagogical Institute had 23 departments, which had 25 classrooms, 11 laboratories, and a gym. The largest in their composition were the general institute departments: Marxism-Leninism (13 people) and Pedagogy (11 people). And one of the best departments at that time was the Department of General History (headed by Associate Professor, Candidate of Historical Sciences M.I. Freeman).

In the postwar years, the material base of the institute was strengthened. A radio laboratory is being equipped and put into operation. Purchased equipment for special practice and demonstrations in atomic physics. The Department of Physical Geography received equipment for the construction of a meteorological station.

The building on the Kotorosl embankment was returned to the Institute. In the first building on Republican Street, the faculties of history and philology (436 students in the 1956/57 academic year), physics and mathematics (419 students) and physical education (102 students) were engaged in two shifts. In the second educational building on the Kotorosl embankment, students of the faculties of natural-geographical (393 people) and foreign languages ​​(310 people) also studied in two shifts.

In March 1952, Vasily Stepanovich Filatov, who had worked at the university since 1946 as deputy director (later Doctor of Philosophy, Professor, Honored Worker of Science and Technology), became the director (rector) of the institute. He headed the institute until November 1959 with a short break, when in 1954-1956 he performed a government assignment, being an adviser in China. For his help in organizing the Pedagogical Institute in Beijing, he was awarded the Order of the People's Republic of China.

V.S. Filatov is the founder of the scientific school of psychology at the YaGPI. He is the author of more than 50 works on problems of social psychology (including books and brochures). Filatov headed the regional pedagogical society, was a permanent member of the scientific commission on psychology of the Ministry of Education of the RSFSR. He was awarded the Order of Lenin, medals, including the medal of K. D. Ushinsky.

The teachers of the institute did a lot to study the history of the Yaroslavl region in the traditional historical-revolutionary paradigm. Here we can name the works of P. N. Druzhinin “Yaroslavl during the years of the first Russian revolution”, P. I. Kozlov “The struggle for the establishment and strengthening of Soviet power in the Yaroslavl province”, E. P. Tarasov “Preparation for the complete collectivization of agriculture in the Yaroslavl province " other.

An important, albeit controversial milestone in the generalization of local history material after many years of forced oblivion of this topic was the collection “Yaroslavl” prepared by the employees of the Department of History of the USSR by Professor L. B. Genkin, Associate Professor P. G. Andreev and others, revealing the history of the city in the spirit of the theory of class struggle in the pre-October period. The publication of the monograph “People's Education and Cultural Construction of the Yaroslavl Region for 30 Years”, prepared under the guidance of A. N. Ivanov, was timed to coincide with the 30th anniversary of Soviet power.

A number of works of natural science teachers can be attributed to the same direction. In 1950, A. N. Ivanov's monograph "Geological Excursions in the Yaroslavl Region" was published. In 1958, the first part of the monograph "Nature and economy of the Yaroslavl region" was published, prepared by the departments of physical and economic geography, botany and zoology. From the works of the staff of the Faculty of Natural Geography great interest caused the monograph of Professor P. S. Makeev "Natural zones and landscapes", published in 1956 in Geografgize.

Since 1946, there has been postgraduate studies in various specialties at YSPI. Postgraduate students were guided by professors and the most experienced associate professors. During the period 1946-1955, 113 people graduated from graduate school, of which 49 defended candidate dissertations.

The end of the 1950s marked the beginning of a new stage in the development of secondary and higher education. Eight-year and eleven-year schools were established. The transition to compulsory eight-year education was carried out. On the other hand, the idea of ​​a labor polytechnic school with compulsory vocational training of students still seemed promising.

All this required a corresponding restructuring in the training of teachers, especially in the faculties of physics and mathematics and natural geography. In YAGPI at the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics in March 1957, the Department of the Basics of Production was created, designed to provide training for teachers for the school in technical disciplines (mechanical science, auto business, electrical engineering, drawing, etc.). In October 1959, the department was transformed into the department of general technical disciplines.

The life of the institute, the variety of tasks imputed to it by society, were reflected in the pages of the weekly large-circulation newspaper For Pedagogical Personnel, resumed on the wave of the “thaw”. The first issue of the newspaper was published on December 30, 1956.

Every summer, YSPI students went to harvest the virgin lands of Kazakhstan. During the first three years of developing virgin lands, they harvested grain from an area of ​​127,000 hectares, ensiled 23,500 tons of succulent fodder, built or repaired dozens of residential buildings and premises for livestock. Many Komsomol students were awarded the medal "For the Development of Virgin Lands".

In October 1958, in accordance with the order of the Minister of Education of the RSFSR, the Rybinsk Teachers' Institute was merged with the Yaroslavl Pedagogical Institute. Students of the full-time and part-time departments of the Rybinsk Teachers' Institute, as well as its faculty, were transferred to the Yaroslavl Pedagogical Institute.

1958 - 1990. Time for reforms

In November 1959, V. S. Filatov was replaced by A. S. Gvozdarev as director of the YaGPI, who headed the institute until May 1960. Then associate professor Pavel Nikolaevich Pilatov, candidate of geographical sciences, who previously worked as director of the Saratov Pedagogical Institute, came to the leadership of the university. He headed the institute until October 1965.

For almost five years, since October 1965, Lev Vladimirovich Sretensky was the rector of the YaGPI. In 1970 he became rector of the newly established Yaroslavl State University.

At the very beginning of the 1960s, the institute underwent changes in the structure of specialties. Chemical specialties were part of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics, which trained teachers in the following specialties: physics, basics of production, mathematics, drawing. Future physical education teachers received a second specialty - labor training.

In those years Soviet Union provided assistance to the countries of the "third world", involving them in the orbit of his policy. This necessitated a restructuring of the teaching of foreign languages. Several departments are being created, where a foreign language becomes the second specialty.

The organization of new branches required a great methodical work teachers, as well as quantitative and qualitative changes in the teaching staff of the institute. So, if in the early 60s 210–220 teachers worked at the university, including only 7 professors, then by the mid-60s, 327 teachers worked at 29 departments, including 12 professors and doctors of sciences and 109 associate professors and candidates of sciences.

A number of textbooks and manuals for schoolchildren, teachers and students, published by central publishing houses, were written by teachers of the Yaroslavl Pedagogical Institute. It's Anatomy and Physiology Jr. school age» L. I. Mursky, “Problems and theorems in geometry” Z. A. Skopets and V. A. Zharov, “Collection of problems and exercises in chemistry” A. S. Karnaukhov (together with other authors), “Russian-German School-Pedagogical Dictionary” by V. E. Weiss, “Astronomy” by B. A. Volynsky, geometry textbooks for high school students and teaching aids for teachers on their use by Z. A. Skopets and others.

A significant contribution to the research work was made by the teaching staff of the historical and geographical departments, the department of the Russian language, releasing a whole series of books on local history. The history and geography of the region were devoted to the books published in the 1960s by the Upper Volga book publishing house and often retaining their value and significance to the present day, the books of YSPI teachers “Essays on the History of the Yaroslavl Territory”, “A Brief Yaroslavl Regional Dictionary”, “Geographical Atlas of the Yaroslavl Region ”, “Yaroslavl Territory in the history of the USSR”, “Yaroslavl Territory and the Decembrists” and others. In 1967, the same publishing house published a work of more than 40 printed sheets - "Essays on the history of the Yaroslavl organization of the CPSU" edited by the head of the department of history of the CPSU institute P. M. Volkov. It was a look at the history of society through the prism of the history of its "leading and guiding force."

The well-known paleontologist, professor of the Department of Physical Geography A. N. Ivanov published the work “K. D. Ushinsky in Yaroslavl” (1963), which was the result of more than twenty years of in-depth study of the biography of the Russian teacher. Ivanov collected and published previously unknown memoirs of Ushinsky's daughters about their father, a number of his letters and other valuable documents. The book was awarded the prize of the Academy of Pedagogical Sciences of the RSFSR.

In the early 1960s, an average of 100-150 works of university teachers with a total volume of over 100 printed sheets came out of print every year.

The management of the institute successfully solved the problem of staffing the university, focusing on work with schoolchildren, their professional orientation. For this purpose, back in the 1958/59 academic year, a school for young mathematicians was established at the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics, in which 400–500 students of grades 8–10 studied annually. In 1964 schools of physicists and chemists were organized, and somewhat later - of biologists and linguists. City and regional Olympiads for schoolchildren in mathematics, physics and astronomy were held annually.

Several amateur art groups were created at the Institute. Since 1951, there has been an orchestra of folk instruments under the direction of Associate Professor V.K. Michurin. In December 1962, the theater of miniatures was founded, headed by the teacher of physics G. V. Zhus. A dance group was formed at the Faculty of Biology and Geography. Approximately in the same years, agitation and creative teams were formed, which were then transformed into propaganda teams.

Students also took part in the movement of student construction teams (SSO), which became widespread in the 1960s. They participated in the construction of housing and cultural institutions for virgin lands in Kazakhstan, in particular, in the Tselinograd region. More than 300 students worked at the harvest in 1964-1965 at the Taman state farm in the Krasnodar Territory. Every year, over a thousand people worked on state and collective farms in the Yaroslavl region harvesting flax and potatoes (which from a certain point became an inevitable norm of student life). They also worked as part of student construction teams (and the first of them was created in 1964) in Yakutia, Tyumen, Tomsk, participated in the construction of a thermal power plant in Pavlograd, laid power lines in the Non-Black Earth region, carried out land reclamation work, built hospitals in the Yaroslavl region.

In 1963, on the shore of Kotorosl, a summer sports health Camp, and in next year a sports complex was put into operation, built mainly by the students themselves. In the 70s, the material sports base was expanded.

The Fundamental Library, one of the country's largest book depositories, had 400,000 volumes of printed publications in the early 1960s. In the future, the library fund was replenished annually. The library subscribed to more than 500 titles of newspapers and magazines, including those in foreign languages. By the end of the 1970s, the fund of the institute's library had grown to 1 million printed publications, it served annually up to 7 thousand readers and carried out about 600 thousand books.

From January 1970 to May 1979 the Institute was headed by Professor Viktor Vasilyevich Karpov. During this period, the structure of the university remained unchanged for a long time. The Institute had five faculties: Physics and Mathematics, History and Philology, Biology and Geography, Foreign Languages ​​and Physical Education.

The institute also had a special department - preparatory. It was opened on December 14, 1970 and later - in 1983 - switched to correspondence education. Every year, 100 people were admitted to this department. Those who graduated from it and successfully passed the final exams could be admitted to the corresponding faculty without entrance exams.

The teachers of the Institute continued to study the life and legacy of K. D. Ushinsky. The result of readings dedicated to his memory was the publication of two collections of articles - "On the pedagogical heritage of K. D. Ushinsky" (1972) and "Pedagogical ideas of K. D. Ushinsky and modernity" (1975). In connection with the 150th anniversary of the birth of the founder of Russian scientific pedagogy in 1974, two books written by the teachers of the institute were published in the Upper Volga Book Publishing House - “The Great Democratic Teacher K.D. Ushinsky” (authors T.V. Karpova and V.V. Karpov), and “K.D. Ushinsky. Gymnasium student. Student. Professor "(A.N. Ivanov).

The institute's material base developed. During this period, another hostel for students was built. In 1977, a canteen was put into operation. In 1979, the building of the former school No. 69 was converted into the 4th academic building, which housed the primary school faculty.

In December 1979, the Faculty of Primary Schools was opened, and a year later, the Faculty of Advanced Studies (FPK) for directors of secondary schools.

In the field of education, the 1980s began with another attempt to reform the education system in the country. The goals and objectives of the reform were defined in a number of guiding documents (“Main Directions for the Reform of General Education and Vocational Schools”, “Main Directions for Restructuring Higher and Secondary Specialized Education in the Country”, etc.). The reform left its mark on all aspects of the life of the Institute, and largely determined its future. Contradictions in the life of society in the 1980s led to the fact that during this decade a systemic social crisis erupted, which put higher education before qualitatively new problems.

At this time, there was another change in the leadership of the university. Since February 1982, a prominent scientist, talented organizer, doctor of psychological sciences, professor Vladimir Dmitrievich Shadrikov has become the rector of the institute. An important indicator in the activities of the administration was the qualitative improvement of management educational process, its thoughtful and skillful organization. Systematic and comprehensive approaches to solving practical cases have become characteristic. The work of the inter-faculty educational and methodological commission with the participation of all deans and leading specialists of the departments has intensified. Much more attention was paid to methodological issues. The rector's office made a lot of efforts to improve the material base, to equip the faculties and departments with modern equipment.

Since November 1985, Nikolai Pavlovich Voronin, one of the youngest rectors in the entire history of the university, a graduate and pupil of the institute, was appointed rector. From June 1982, he served as Acting Dean of the Primary School Faculty, and in February 1983 he was appointed Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs. Having become the rector, N. P. Voronin continued the course of his predecessor and teacher, skillfully directing the activities of the institute staff. Together with V. D. Shadrikov, he actively participated in the development and implementation of the system of career guidance "university - school - university." leadership positions in state structures of the region.)

The share of teachers with scientific degrees and titles in the total composition of teachers by the end of the 80s was established at a level of at least 50 percent. If on January 1, 1981, out of 319 teachers, 169 people were certified, i.e. 52.9 percent, including 8 professors and doctors of sciences, then on January 1, 1990, out of 399 scientists, 212 people had academic degrees and titles, i.e. 55.8 percent, including 15 professors and doctors of science. All teachers participated in scientific work.

At the end of the 80s, the university received the right to independently develop and adopt curricula, many issues of selection and placement of personnel, standardization of the teaching load, determining the duration and timing of sessions, the procedure for transferring and restoring students were transferred to the discretion of the administration, the forms were significantly reduced and simplified. and mandatory reporting indicators. This created the prerequisites for creative search, which were implemented in the 90s.

1990s and 2000s At the turn of the millennium

The final decade of the 20th century was a time of profound change for teacher education. It was necessary to reform the entire system of teacher education, bring it closer to world standards, and meet the region's need for qualified teaching staff of a modern level, including in a number of new specialties. The decisive step in this direction, which opened a new page in the history of the university, was the assignment of a new status to it. In 1992, the certification of the Yaroslavl State Pedagogical Institute took place, following which, in 1993, by order of the State Committee of the Russian Federation for Higher Education, it was transformed into the Yaroslavl State Pedagogical University (YaGPU).

The university staff had to create a qualitatively new educational and scientific-pedagogical complex capable of providing training in educational and professional programs in accordance with state standards, modern requirements for the content, technologies and structure of teacher education. The team coped with these tasks. This was confirmed by the results of the ministerial attestation held at the end of 1997. All specialties submitted for certification received a positive assessment of experts, major specialists in these areas.

In the high appraisal of the university, the undoubted merit belongs to its leadership. During these years, the Pedagogical University was headed by Doctor of Pedagogical Sciences, Professor Vladimir Vasilyevich Afanasiev. The ability to select personnel allowed him to form a workable administration, which included the first Vice-Rector, Associate Professor V. A. Vlasov, Vice-Rector for Research Professor M. V. Novikov, Vice-Rector for Academic Affairs of the Correspondence Department, Associate Professor S. B. Moskovsky, Vice-Rector for Economic Affairs, Associate Professor E. N. Kvasovets, Vice-Rector for capital construction V. L. Polikarpov. In accordance with the charter approved by the conference of teachers, staff and students, all current and future issues of the life of the university are monthly discussed at meetings of the academic council of the university, and faculty affairs - at the councils of faculties.

The Pedagogical University has become a diverse educational and scientific complex for the training of general education and vocational school specialists, solving important scientific problems. The work of the complex on organizing a system of continuous pedagogical education, taking into account the personnel needs of the region, was highly appreciated by the Ministry of General and Vocational Education, the Russian Academy of Education, the Board of Directors of Pedagogical Colleges of Russia and the State Attestation Commission.

In 1995, the Higher School of Philology and Culture was opened, which included the Faculty of Russian Philology and Culture, the regional part-time school of philology and culture, and the Humanities Lyceum.

In 1996, the Institute of Pedagogy and Psychology began its work, created to coordinate the activities of all departments involved in the psychological and pedagogical training of future teachers.

By the time of transformation into a university, the pedagogical university carried out educational activities in 12 areas and specialties and 15 postgraduate programs. In subsequent years, new areas and specialties received state licensing: humanitarian knowledge (magistracy), linguistics and intercultural communication, psychology, social pedagogy, speech therapy.

The status of the university makes special demands on the organization of research work. Over the years of its existence, YSPU has become a major scientific and pedagogical center capable of solving both fundamental and applied problems. The university has developed scientific schools in the field of technological, pedagogical, natural and human sciences, headed by well-known scientists in Russia and abroad.

The formation of scientific schools not only contributes to science, but also contributes to the improvement of the training of top-level specialists - the opening of dissertation councils, an increase in admission to graduate school and the successful defense of dissertations. During 1992-1998, the number of graduate students increased from 11 to 125, and the specialties in which they conducted research increased from 7 to 276.

Since 1995, the university has been publishing the quarterly scientific and methodological journal Yaroslavl Pedagogical Bulletin. The journal publishes articles by scientists from various scientific centers in Russia and from abroad, university professors, and school teachers.

In 1991, the university museum was opened. Its expositions reflect the history of the creation, formation and development of one of the oldest pedagogical universities in the country, rich in bright events and outstanding names.

The Fundamental Library is the largest book depository in the region. The library collection contains many rare editions, printed books and manuscripts. The most valuable of them can be seen in the reading room of the rare book department.

In total, the Pedagogical University of Yaroslavl today has seven educational and laboratory buildings. Many of them are located along the Kotorosl River. The building at the corner of Kotoroslnaya Embankment and Republicanskaya Street houses the Institute of Pedagogy and Psychology, university publishing house and printing house.
