ABOUT CRIMEAN FEDRAL UNIVERSITY, RUSSIA

V.I. Vernadsky Crimean Federal University is a higher education institution located in Simferopol. It is one of the 10 federal universities of the Russian Federation. The University traces its history back to the establishment of Taurida University, the first institution of higher education in Crimea, which was established in 1918 on the initiative of Solomon Krym. Lectures at the Department of Physics and Mathematics and the Department of Medicine, located then in Yalta, started in May 1918. By autumn 1918, all five University departments – History and Philology, Physics and Mathematics, Law, Medicine, and Agronomy – were relocated to Simferopol. Among the originators of Taurida University were the scientists of Kyiv University. They elected the first board headed by Rector, an eminent figure in medical science, Professor Roman Gelwig. After his death on October 13, 1920, Academician Vladimir Vernadsky was elected the University’s rector. With the establishment of the Soviet authority, the University was reorganized. On February 1, 1921, it was renamed M.V. Frunze Crimean University. During the 1920s and early 1930s, it served as the foundation for the establishment of the three higher education institutions: pedagogical, medical, and agricultural institutes. Among the University’s most notable alumni are Academician Dmitry Shcherbakov (1922), Academician Igor Kurchatov, Member of the Ukrainian Academy of Sciences Kirill Sinelnikov (1923), Corresponding Members of the Academy of Sciences of the USSR Gleb Frank (1925), and Kirill Shchyolknin (1932)
