The campus complex is located in the block between and. This complex includes the main building of the university, the rector's office building, several administrative and utility buildings, as well as buildings of several faculties (physics, mechanics and mathematics, geography, chemistry). In the future, there will be a library, a law faculty, and a McDonald's restaurant will soon be located here. high rise building faculty international relations. In addition, BSU has a branch - this is an entire campus, which is located outside the ring road in the Schemyslitsa area, as well as several faculties in the city center, located outside the university campus.

Opposite the site allocated for construction, work began on the construction of the Belarusian State University according to the design of the architect I.K. Zaporozhets and G.L. Lavrova (1928-1931). The composition of the campus complex was based on a pavilion arrangement of buildings with a simplified architecture, common in the construction of higher educational institutions in those years. The University campus houses academic buildings, student dormitories, well-equipped laboratories, historical-archaeological, zoological and geological-mineralogical museums, and a fundamental library with over 200 thousand volumes.

On July 11, 1921, the opening of the first higher education institution took place. educational institution in the republic. Preparations for its creation from the first day (February 25, 1919, the resolution of the Central Executive Committee of the BSSR on the opening of the university was adopted) was under special attention parties and governments. In Moscow, under the leadership of People's Commissar of Education A.V. Lunacharsky, a commission was formed to promote the organization of BSU. (And in the future, Lunacharsky provided support and assistance to the university. In 1925, he came to Minsk and gave a speech at a citywide meeting of scientists; in 1928, he got acquainted with the construction of the university campus).

However, due to the temporary occupation of Minsk Polish troops This was accomplished only on October 30, 1921. This date is considered the birthday of BSU. The university was created almost empty space, in the year of the liberation of Minsk from the Poles, when the economy of the republic was completely destroyed by the war. U young university had neither their own buildings nor material base, no own personnel. Many of the Belarusians who worked in other scientific organizations, refused to work at the university, not believing that it could exist for a long time. This prompted the government to look for specialists outside of Belarus. In selection teaching staff for this university accepted great participation commission for promoting the organization of BSU and world-famous scientist K.A. Timiryazev. The teaching staff was mainly staffed by personnel from Moscow, Kazan and Kyiv universities.

Initially, 3 faculties were organized: social sciences, medical and workers' faculty, and the first rector of the Belarusian State University (from 1921 to 1929) was the outstanding scientist, historian and Slavist Vladimir Ivanovich Picheta (graduated from the Poltava Gymnasium in 1908, and later from the Faculty of History and Philology of Moscow University). On November 1, 1,390 students began classes at these faculties; the teaching staff then consisted of 49 people. The first graduation of young specialists took place in 1925.

The 1920s are one of the most dynamic periods in the history of the university. At this time, everything was for the first time: the first students, the first faculties, the first departments, the first scientific expeditions, the first graduates of the first Belarusian specialists with higher education. In the second half of the 1920s, graduate school was opened, a university campus was built, and fruitful connections were established with scientists from Lithuania, Poland, Czechoslovakia and other countries.

In 1922 The Faculty of Education was separated from the Faculty of Social Sciences.

In 1929, on the basis of the departments providing the teaching of chemistry in the natural sciences department of the pedagogical and medical faculties, a chemical faculty was opened, headed by prof. Emil Vikentievich Zmachinsky. In the same year, the Faculty of Economics was opened, and in 1933, the Physics and Mathematics Department of the Faculty of Pedagogy was transformed into the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics; in 1934, the Faculty of History was opened, the first dean of which was Academician of the Academy of Sciences of the BSSR V. K. Shcherbakov, and the Faculty of Geography faculty, and in 1939 - the philological faculty.

In front of the BSU building in 1925, the first monument to V.I. in Minsk was erected. Lenin by sculptor Alexander Grube.

I'm looking for a photo of the monument.

The university gradually turned into a large scientific, educational and cultural center. Already by 1930. 25 issues of “Proceedings of the Belarusian State University” and a number of monographs were published. Belarusian scientists established contacts with colleagues from Poland, Czechoslovakia, Lithuania, and Germany. Student groups were active at the faculties scientific societies, newspapers were published. In October 1927 Graduate school opened. At the same time, construction of the campus began, which accepted the first students in 1930.

In the 1930s BSU played a significant role in the development of the republic's higher education system. On the basis of a number of its faculties, Minsk medical school(MSMU), Minsk pedagogical institute(BSPU named after Maxim Tank), Belarusian Institute national economy(BSEU), Minsk law school, as well as a number of research institutes National Academy sciences of the republic, etc.

At the university in those years there were 6 faculties: chemistry, physics and mathematics, biology, history, geography and philology; 33 departments, where 17 professors, 41 associate professors, 90 teachers and assistants worked. In addition, there were a working faculty and an evening department with special sections: Polish and Jewish. There were 60 people in graduate school; 1,337 students studied at all faculties. Various educational and support units operated: museums, biological stations, laboratories, a fundamental library, a greenhouse, etc. During this time, the university gave the republic 5,240 historians, lawyers, economists, philologists, mathematicians, chemists, biologists, and geographers.

Over the first 20 years of operation, BSU graduated 5,240 historians, lawyers, mathematicians, chemists, biologists and other highly qualified specialists. In his classrooms a whole galaxy of famous national poets and writers, including Kondrat Krapiva, Pavlyuk Trus, Ales Dudar, Petrus Brovka, Petro Glebka, Maxim Luzhanin and many others. Activities associated with the university during this period people's writer Belarus Yakub Kolas, Marshal of the Soviet Union, outstanding commander G.K. Zhukova. The students of the university were the Minister of Foreign Affairs of the USSR A.A. Gromyko and other prominent government figures.

In 1921, the Belarusian language, along with Polish and Yiddish, was declared the state language. And in 1933, a reform of the Belarusian language was carried out with the aim of bringing it closer to Russian. Since that time, the spelling adopted by the People's Commissariat has been called “narkomovka”.

1941 was the year of the university’s 20th anniversary and, at the same time, the beginning of the most severe test in its entire history. On June 21, 1941, the anniversary scientific session began at BSU, and a festive exhibition dedicated to the achievements of the faculties was launched. And the next day, June 22, it began. More than 450 university teachers and students went to active army, became partisans, underground fighters. In memory of the students and employees of BSU who fell in the fight against fascism and on the 30th anniversary of the victory in the Great Patriotic War, an obelisk was erected on the campus in 1975.

This concrete obelisk was installed here in place of the same wooden one. It is evidence that many generations of teachers, graduate students and students of BSU remember and will remember those from university classrooms and scientific laboratories went into immortality, giving his life in the fight against fascism.

The war caused enormous damage to the university. The university campus was almost completely destroyed, library collections and archives were looted, and laboratories were destroyed.

During the Great Patriotic War The SD was located in one of the buildings of the BSU on Zemledelchesky Lane. During the war, underground fighters blew up the SD building, after which the Nazis held their first mass repression in the city.

Back in 1943, near Moscow, at the Skhodnya station, the Belarusian State University resumed its work, where classes began in five faculties in the fall of 1943. In the 1944/45 academic year the university returned to Minsk.

The restoration of the university's pre-war educational and production base continued until 1950. By this time, more than 2,000 students were already studying at BSU. The history of the Belarusian State University began new period rapid development. Almost everything you see around was built in post-war years.

“By mid-December 1958, the construction of the basement floor of the main academic building of BSU had already been completed. Some architectural ideas were very unusual and non-standard, but were abandoned during the course of this construction. So, the designers proposed to arrange over central part of the main building, on the volumes rising to the left and right (they are visible in the photo), there are two towers with semicircular domes crowning them. The towers were intended to hold practical classes in astronomy, for regular astronomical observations. One of them - telescopic - had to move apart and rotate if necessary. The other was conceived as a fixed tower for an educational planetarium.

With the beginning of development Soviet Union outer space The Minsk Visual-Optical Station was specially created, which was a research laboratory at the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics of BSU. On the roof of the building of the Pedagogical Institute. M. Gorky was created for these purposes astronomical site. Already an hour before the start of observations, the station employees took their places. At their disposal were atlases, reference books, receivers, tape recorders, binoculars, and astronomical tubes. Sometimes optics were not required. Sometimes a satellite or rocket was clearly visible to the naked eye. The duration of their passage over the city varied - from approximately 90 to 150 seconds. Based on the results of observations, the necessary calculations were made, which were then transmitted to Moscow."

Some of the BSU buildings were rebuilt in the 1970s under the Minsk City Executive Committee and the Metro Construction Department. Today, several buildings on the former university campus are being restored.

Rectors of BSU in different years were: N.M.Bladyko (1937), V.S.Bobrovnitsky (1938), P.P.Savitsky (1938 - 1946), V.A.Tomashevich (1946 - 1949), I.S. Chimburg (1949 - 1952), K.I. Lukashov (1952 - 1957), A.N. Sevchenko (1957 - 1972), V.M. Sikorsky (1972 - 1978), V.A. Bely (1978 - 1983), L.I. .Kiselevsky (1983 - 1990), F.N.Kaputsky (1990 - 1995), A.V.Kozulin (1996 - 2003), V.I.Strazhev (2003 - 2008).

Since October 2008, the Belarusian State University has been headed by Academician S.V. Ablameiko.

20 scientific centers, 172 departments, 114 research laboratories, 11 educational institutions, 9 manufacturing enterprises.

The university has over 23,000 students (of which about 4,000 are part-time), 1,200 graduate students, 30 doctoral students, 1,837 students of the advanced training and retraining system, and about 1,000 students. BSU employs 8,700 employees, including 2,750 teachers, of which 400 are Doctors of Science, 1,600 Candidates of Science, among whom are famous scientists and laureates state awards in the field of science and education.

The university has its own symbols - the coat of arms and flag, its own law - the Charter, as well as an administrative apparatus - the rectorate, headed by the rector, who manages the complex university system.

This is one of the oldest buildings on campus and survived World War II. Thanks to its interesting color scheme, the rector's office building dominates the surrounding space. And this is justified, because the rector’s office is an official business and administrative center university.

The courtyard of the Belarusian State University is the aesthetic center of the Belarusian State University. In the post-war years, when the university campus was being rebuilt, it was decided to create an analogue in the courtyard botanical garden, which would represent the vegetation of the Eurasian continent. This idea was realized, and now all tiers of the Eurasian flora can be seen here.

In the recent past, the courtyard began to transform even more and, thanks to the efforts former rector, Professor A.V. Kozulin, as well as sculptors Igor Golubev, Sergei Adashkevich and Vladimir Panteleev, it turned into a museum of educational thought in Belarus. IN given time There are five sculptural compositions dedicated to the most prominent representatives of the Belarusian education.

The tradition of such honoring of national figures of culture, science and politics goes back to the Middle Ages. All the largest universities in Europe erected monuments to outstanding compatriots: Krakow (Jagiellonian) - Nicolaus Copernicus, Prague (Karlovsky) Jan Hus, Berlin - the Humboldt brothers, Moscow - Lomonosov. In the courtyard of the university campus there are sculptures of the great thinkers and philosophers of Belarus: , .

On November 29, 2002, the official coat of arms of the Belarusian State University was installed on the facade of the main building of the Belarusian State University.

The image of the coat of arms was approved on May 25, 2000 by the joint council of the Belarusian State University. It is an image of a fern branch against the backdrop of the radiance of its mysterious flower. Which reflects the Belarusian origin and the deep essence of the activities of BSU. Since ancient times, the search for a fern flower has personified a person’s desire for happiness, knowledge of the surrounding world and earthly secrets. Whoever finds it must become wise, virtuous and enlightened.

Another remarkable event - in the 1990s, astronomers discovered new star in the constellation Andromeda and named it in honor of the university “Star of BSU”.

The page was created using materials sent by G.Z. Stasevich, P. Rostovtsev, I.G. Chaiko.
