Information about the university
Modern Nizhny Novgorod State University named after. N.I. Lobachevsky is considered the largest university in the city of Nizhny Novgorod. It includes 19 faculties, also 6 modern research institutes and 132 departments.
It was opened back in 1916. Previously, this university was originally called Gorky State University. In 2009, it was awarded the renowned status of a modern national research university of the Russian Federation.
Many people know about the successes of the university. For example, in 2013 it took a good 74th place in the well-known international ranking of all universities QS BRICS, as well as 20th place in the ranking of all universities in the Baltic and CIS countries. In addition, the university’s successes are marked with another five stars in the field of employment of its graduates, as well as education, innovation and developed infrastructure.
Currently, the university has approximately 30,000 students studying in a variety of specialties. More than 1000 doctoral students, as well as graduate students. There are more than 450 different Ph.D. In addition, UNN also received a well-known grant from the Russian Government to increase international competitiveness, as well as enter into the most leading rankings in the world.
It should be noted that UNN is considered the third largest organization in the city of Nizhny by the number of employees. It is only inferior to the Gorky Automobile Plant, as well as the Gorky Railway.
History of the emergence of UNN named after. N.I. Lobachevsky
So, this university was opened in 1916 as one of the three famous People's Universities of the Russian Federation, which were directly part of the system of so-called “free” universities. For a city like Nizhny Novgorod, this was the first higher education institution.
After the merger of Nizhny Novgorod State University. N.I. Lobachevsky with the Warsaw Polytechnic Institute, it already receives the status of a state university.
Later in 1921, a significant reduction in the total number of faculties was carried out. The number of teachers is reduced from approximately 239 to 156 in 1922. All this entailed certain significant changes that could not but have an impact on the entire education system.
It can also be said that from the very moment of its founding, this university was a fairly pronounced innovative organization that provided education based on a number of scientific research, as well as in close connection with various current problems.
The rather active participation of this university in solving the most pressing problems led directly to the formation of quite large scientific and research institutes within its structure. That is, these are institutes such as radiophysics, regional ecology, molecular biology, mechanics and a number of others.
The university created the very first faculty of management and entrepreneurship in the whole country, as well as the well-known department of technology transfer and modern entrepreneurship, which trained the best managers of small, knowledge-intensive firms.
In addition, this educational institution is the only university in the entire Volga region that successfully provides training in a wide variety of specialties. For example, such as taxes and taxation, as well as international relations, customs and others. Every year all university students achieve the best results in their activities, as well as well-known prizes at competitions in modern programming, mathematics and physics. All this suggests that the quality of teaching is excellent.
This university is directly among the ten best universities in all of Russia, and is also the first university in the entire Volga Federal District.
Around the second half of the 20th century, it became the largest scientific and educational center, which includes the most famous scientific schools in the field of the so-called theory of oscillations, radiophysics, crystallography, also the theory of functions, chemistry of high-purity substances, the theory of dynamic systems, and so on.
Many laboratories of this university initially served as the basis for the direct creation of various Nizhny Novgorod institutes. We should not forget about significant achievements in the humanities and other fields.
- Institute of Chemical Technology;
- also Mechanical Engineering Institute;
- Faculty of Agronomy;
- also Faculty of Architecture and Civil Engineering;
- renowned faculty of education;
- as well as the Faculty of Medicine.
About a year later, the university was re-established. By 1932, the university included such departments as mechanical, zoological, physical, chemical, and botanical.
A little later, namely, in 1956, on March 20, the university was named after N. I. Lobachevsky.

Description of the educational institution Nizhny Novgorod State University named after. N.I. Lobachevsky
Nizhny Novgorod State University named after. N.I. Lobachevsky (Nizhny Novgorod State University) was founded on January 17, 1916 as one of the three People's Universities of Russia and became the first higher educational institution in Nizhny Novgorod. In 1918, after merging with the Polytechnic Institute evacuated from Warsaw and with the Higher Agricultural Courses, the university received state status (the first Soviet university).
In 1930, on the basis of a number of faculties of the University of Nizhny Novgorod, 6 narrow-profile institutes were created: mechanical engineering, chemical, pedagogical, agricultural, construction, medical. By 1932, the following departments operated as part of UNN: physical, mechanical, zoological, botanical, chemical, and mathematical.
By the second half of the 20th century, UNN became a major scientific and educational center, including world-famous scientific schools in the field of vibration theory (Academician A. A. Andronov), crystallography (Academician N. V. Belov), radiophysics (Academician A. V. Gaponov - Grekhov), chemistry of organometallic compounds (Academician G. A. Razuvaev), chemistry of high-purity substances (Academician G. G. Devyatykh), theory of functions (Professor I. R. Braitsev), theory of dynamic systems (Professor Yu. I. Neimark), population genetics (Professor S.S. Chetverikov), etc. The university laboratories served as the initial basis for the creation of the Nizhny Novgorod institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences. There were significant achievements in the humanitarian fields associated with the names of corresponding member S. I. Arkhangelsky, professors N. P. Sokolov, B. N. Golovin and others.
Since its founding, Nizhny Novgorod University has been a distinctly innovative organization, providing education based on scientific research in close connection with national objectives. In 1945, the first radiophysics faculty in the USSR was created at UNN, and in 1963, the faculty of computational mathematics and cybernetics (also the first in the country), which became one of the important grounds for the development of the radioelectronic industry and information technologies. The active participation of the university in solving current complex scientific and technical problems led to the formation of large research institutes within the structure of UNN: physics and technology (1932), chemistry (1944), radiophysics (1956), applied mathematics and cybernetics (1964), mechanics ( 1974), molecular biology and regional ecology (2002). The university has created the country's first Faculty of Management and Entrepreneurship (rewarded with a prize from the city of Nizhny Novgorod in 1997) and the Department of Technology Transfer and Entrepreneurship in the scientific and technical field, which trains managers of small knowledge-intensive firms. UNN students annually achieve prizes at All-Russian Olympiads in physics, mathematics, and programming. University student teams systematically reach the finals of the world programming championships.
In official rankings, the university is consistently among the ten best universities in Russia, being the first university in the Volga Federal District. About 40,000 people study at UNN, including about 1,000 graduate students and doctoral students. Training is provided in 69 specialties and areas of bachelor's training, 50 master's programs, as well as programs with a shortened period of study. Postgraduate students are trained in 52, and doctoral students in 24 scientific specialties. UNN has 20 dissertation defense councils, including 17 doctoral dissertations.
Scientific and pedagogical work at the university is carried out by 300 doctors of science, 900 candidates of science, 17 full members and corresponding members of the Russian Academy of Sciences, 23 Honored Scientists Russian Federation, 33 laureates State Prize, Government Prizes and Prizes of the President of the Russian Federation, 37 laureates of the Nizhny Novgorod Prize, 71 Honorary Workers of Higher Professional Education of the Russian Federation, 18 Honored Workers of Higher Education.
The university consists of: 19 faculties (Biological, Chemical, Historical, Radiophysical, Physical, Mechanical and Mathematical, Economic, Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics, Philological, Higher School of General and Applied Physics, Legal, Management and Entrepreneurship, Financial, Social Sciences, Military Training , Physical education and sports, International relations, Pre-university preparation and career guidance, International students), 132 departments, 7 research institutes (Physical and Technical, Chemistry, Mechanics, Applied Mathematics and Cybernetics, Molecular Biology and Regional Ecology, Living Systems, Botanical Garden), 9 branches in the Nizhny Novgorod region, Fundamental library with a fund of more than 2 million storage units, Innovation and Technology Center, publishing house and printing house, a complex of museums - zoological (one of the 5 best in Russia), archaeological, ethnographic, history of the university (with an art gallery), memorial museum of the Nizhny Novgorod Radio Laboratory.
The “Nizhny Novgorod United Educational and Scientific Center of the University and Institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences” was created (2001) and is successfully operating as a simple partnership (the first in Russia). Directors of all RAS institutes head departments at UNN. The university has branches of its departments in all institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences and large industry research institutes in Nizhny Novgorod. UNN is a member of the Council of the Nizhny Novgorod Association of Industrialists and Entrepreneurs (NAPP) and has agreements on targeted training with both NAPP and leading organizations and enterprises of Nizhny Novgorod and the Nizhny Novgorod region, including the Russian Federal Nuclear Center (Sarov). The educational and scientific cooperation of UNN with new Russian companies representing well-known Western companies (Intel, IBM, Microsoft, Motorola, etc.) has acquired a significant scale.
UNN has created interaction networks in the Volga Federal District for the development of cooperation in the field of information and communication technologies between the European Union and the Volga Federal District (100 contact points), for the development of a unified educational environment (11 universities in the Volga Federal District), for cooperation in infrastructure support for innovation activities (10 universities in the Volga Federal District), etc.
As part of its international activities (which became possible after the opening of the city in 1991), the university created unique programs “Russian-French University” and “Russian-Italian University” (the program was twice included in the joint action plan of the Russian Federation and the Italian Republic), the results of passing which are certified by documents of two countries. Hundreds of UNN students underwent semester-long training at the best universities in Europe within the framework of 16 educational projects won by UNN under the European TEMPUS-Tacis program. UNN students have repeatedly become winners international competitions conducted in European languages. UNN is a member of the European University Association and is represented on the board of the European Academic Network of Deans.
In 2009, the University was awarded the status of “National Research University”, for last years 5 megagrants were won.

Nizhny Novgorod State National Research University named after Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky turns one hundred years old on January 30, 2016. UNN is a classic non-Moscow (in order to soften the word “provincial” that has long become evaluative) university, which has its own heroes, achievements, traditions, and its own atmosphere. Founded with money from Volga merchants, it trained a galaxy of famous Soviet scientists, and is currently actively involved in biomedicine and supercomputer computing. And also - over the years of its existence, Lobachevsky University has produced 150 thousand graduates - a whole small town. And if there is a concept of “city-forming enterprise,” then Lobachevsky University is an organization that forms (from the word “education”) the culture and scientific potential of the largest Volga city - Nizhny Novgorod. What other unique facts have formed the history of the university celebrating its anniversary?
1 People's University
Lobachevsky University was created as a People's University. “People’s” in this case is not at all a definition of the people’s love and gratitude to the highest educational institution, but quite specific historical concept. This was the name of the pre-revolutionary university, created with public money and accepting citizens of all classes into its ranks. The largest and most famous People's Universities were created in St. Petersburg and Moscow; they were structured as universities, in contrast to the numerous courses that opened throughout the country. The third such university was Nizhny Novgorod. Just as the Nizhny Novgorod militia of 1612 found a response in all classes of society, everyone donated to the People's University at the beginning of the 20th century - from nobles to students of the Real School. The most significant financial contribution was made by famous Nizhny Novgorod merchants - shipbuilder Sirotkin, grain industrialists Bugrov and Bashkirov. 100,000 rubles were allocated from city funds. The first lectures of the newly opened university were held in the building of the City Duma. Today, UNN is the only operating university whose heritage includes the traditions of the pre-revolutionary People's University.
2 Alma mater of universities in Nizhny Novgorod
This is true: almost all modern universities in the capital of the Volga Federal District came from Nizhny Novgorod State University. University faculties - pedagogical, agronomic, medical, architectural and civil engineering - in 1930 were transformed into specialized institutes that exist and are actively developing to this day.
3 The first faculties in the country
The city of Gorky, as Nizhny Novgorod was called during the Soviet years, during the Great Patriotic War was closely related to the topic of the defense industry, and military equipment and weapons were not only produced here, but also developed. Once the war was over, the scientists turned their mental energy into more peaceful directions. In 1945, the country's first radiophysics department was established at Gorky State University. One of its founders is famous physicist, mechanic and mathematician Alexander Alexandrovich Andronov. The oldest school of radiophysics in the country has given the world a galaxy of outstanding radiophysicists. Among them was Nobel laureate Vitaly Ginzburg, who collaborated with Gorky University from 1945 to 1961. By the way, it was in Gorky that Ginzburg met his future wife.

Another all-Russian famous faculty of the university is the Faculty of Computational Mathematics and Cybernetics, abbreviated as VMK. An educational direction of this profile was truly revolutionary - for example, Moscow State University developed a course on new specialty only 8 years later. And at Gorky University, the VMK appeared in 1963. 50 years later, the famous VMK, together with a number of other mathematical departments, was transformed into the large Institute of Information Technologies, Mathematics and Mechanics of Lobachevsky University.
4 Lobachevsky or Gorky?
The first years of its existence the university was called Gorky State University.
The famous Nizhny Novgorod resident Maxim Gorky was directly related to the university - he became the first Honorary Professor of the university, as well as the first honorary member of the Nizhny Novgorod People's University.

In 1956, Gorky State University was named after the outstanding geometer Lobachevsky. Nikolai Ivanovich Lobachevsky is a most interesting personality, combining the genius of a mathematician and the wisdom of a manager (Lobachevsky for a long time was the rector of Kazan University) and the sensitivity of the teacher. To all these wonderful qualities, let’s add one more thing - he was a native of Nizhny Novgorod. In the city on the Volga, young Lobachevsky spent the first 10 years of his life. Scientists from Gorky University, led by the already mentioned academician Andronov, were studying the Nizhny Novgorod childhood of the discoverer of non-Euclidean geometry. Physicist Andronov was struck by the scale of Lobachevsky’s personality and initiated the creation of a group at the university to name the university after Lobachevsky.
Modernity has added many names to the list famous personalities associated with UNN. For the most part, these are graduates of Lobachevsky University: writers Zakhar Prilepin and Valery Khazin, directors Alexander Sokurov and Arseny Gonchukov, politician Mikhail Seslavinsky, scientist-creator of click chemistry Valery Fokin, Olympic champion gymnasts Elena Posevina and Daria Shkurikhina... By the way, many priests Nizhny Novgorod Metropolis received their first education within the walls of Lobachevsky University.

A modern university should be both educational and scientific center. UNN easily manages this combination: along with the fact that about 40 thousand students are currently studying at the university, scientific life is in full swing here. In 2014, the Lobachevsky supercomputer was launched here, which has a performance of 570 trillion operations per second and ranks 24th among the supercomputers of the world's leading universities. This miracle machine performs the most complex calculations, and the results of these calculations are used by physicists, chemists, biologists, mathematicians and even lawyers.
Another pride of the modern Nizhny Novgorod University is the development of an exoskeleton for the rehabilitation of people who have suffered a stroke or received spinal injuries. The name of this exoskeleton complex is “Ilya Muromets”. Like a folk hero who spent thirty years on a stove and then gained unprecedented strength, patients will be able to regain their health with the help of the Nizhny Novgorod State University exoskeleton.
6. Confessional journalism
Accurate and natural Sciences presented at UNN with the latest developments, and the humanitarian component, as always, accounts for the study of eternal themes of humanity. At the Department of Journalism, which is part of the Faculty of Philology of Lobachevsky University, the course “Confessional Journalism” has been successfully taught for 12 years. During the course, students get acquainted with the practical side of the work of a journalist in the religious sphere: how to properly address bishops and priests, what questions are appropriate during interviews with representatives of the Church... At the same time, lecturers talk about the history and modern church ministry. The teachers of this course are priests of the Nizhny Novgorod Metropolis. And, as a rule, students from other streams and even from other faculties come to meet with them.
But the course “Confessional Journalism” is not only heart-to-heart talk, but also serious scientific work. As part of their studies, students conduct content analysis of federal and regional media for mention of religious and moral values, analyze Orthodox media, and work as a press service at annual Orthodox fairs. As a rule, the result of this course is the conscious decision of one of the children to become a church journalist in the near future. Facilities mass media The Nizhny Novgorod Metropolis gladly welcomes graduates of Lobachevsky University into its ranks. This is probably because, in addition to quality education, Nizhny Novgorod University instills in each student respect for others, patient comprehension of science and the habit of thinking - the most useful habit in the world.

National Research Nizhny Novgorod State University named after N. I. Lobachevsky (Lobachevsky University, UNN listen)) is the largest university in Nizhny Novgorod, one of the national research universities of Russia. It is one of 21 Russian universities participating in the program of the Government of the Russian Federation to increase international competitiveness among the world's leading scientific and educational centers.
Short description[ | ]
It was opened on January 31 (January 17, old style) 1916 as Nizhny Novgorod People's University. In the period from 1932 to 1990 it was called Gorky State University. In 2009 it received the status of a national research university of Russia.

Currently, the university has about 30,000 students, over 1,000 graduate students and doctoral students, 1,200 candidates and more than 450 doctors of science. UNN is the third largest organization in Nizhny Novgorod by the number of employees, second to the Gorky Automobile Plant and the Gorky Railway.
UNN's successes have been awarded five QS Stars in the fields of education, graduate employment, innovation, and infrastructure. Among the first 15 Russian universities, UNN received a grant from the Government of the Russian Federation to increase international competitiveness and enter the leading world rankings (Project 5-100).
Story [ | ]
In 1918 he was evacuated to Nizhny Novgorod. After the merger of this university with this institute and with the Higher Agricultural Courses, it receives the status of a state university for the first time in the country.
In 1921, there was a significant reduction in the number of faculties. On May 4, 1921, a resolution was issued by the Council of People's Commissars of the RSFSR on the liquidation of all historical and philological faculties in the country and the organization of faculties in their place social sciences. The number of teachers in 1922 is reduced from 239 to 156 people.
A year later, on November 11, 1931, the university was re-established, incorporating 3 faculties: physics and mathematics, biology and chemistry. The building of the former theological seminary (now the building of the Faculty of Natural Geography of the Nizhny Novgorod State Pedagogical University on Minin and Pozharsky Square) became the educational and scientific base.
By 1932, the following departments operated as part of UNN: physical, mechanical, zoological, botanical, chemical, and mathematical.
Since 1938, entrance exams were established and for the first time Gorky University recruited freshmen through a competition.
March 20, 1956 by decree of the presidium Supreme Council USSR Gorky State University was named after N. I. Lobachevsky.

Developments [ | ]
In October 2016, university representatives announced the development of unique ceramic materials for spacecraft, capable of withstanding high temperatures and radiation, thereby providing the possibility of interplanetary travel. Also, UNN scientists are implementing the Cyberheart and Cybertrainer projects.
The Cyberheart project involves the development of an intelligent software system for obtaining, storing and analyzing cardiac data. Such a system would include software package, allowing for large-scale calculations that accurately reproduce dynamic processes in the heart. At the same time, the device is capable of receiving reliable data on a person’s cardiac activity in real time, as well as simulating various influences (electrical, mechanical, optical and others), and testing the effect of medications. The development is capable of recognizing heart diseases based on the existing database.
"Cyberheart" has a system of graphical support for data analysis in cardiology, a system for automatic development of methods possible treatment specific patients, an ECG measurement system with sending results via a wireless network.
The Cybertrainer EOS (Electromyographic Optical System) system is designed to monitor, visualize and adjust human muscle activity. The complex consists of a suit with integrated myo-sensors. During physical activity a sensor system collects information about the load on the muscles of interest and projects the image onto augmented reality glasses. A tactile stimulation system for individual muscles can adjust movements according to a recorded reference. Training, even with a personal trainer, does not reflect an objective picture of the work of a person’s muscles.
Using the Cybertrainer suit, the athlete spends less time achieving the goal, significantly reducing the likelihood of injury. The Cybertrainer system will allow you to monitor the recovery processes of injured muscles, as well as prevent re-injury. Software allows you to set the maximum permissible level of tension for each muscle, upon reaching which the vibration sensor system signals the user about excess load.
