Four-volume monograph by Doctor of Historical Sciences, chief researcher of the State Historical Museum F.A. Petrov is dedicated to that period in the history of Russian universities when they became the main centers of education and science in the country. The first volume examines the origins of the university education system in Russia, which included, along with the Moscow University founded in 1755, Vilna, Dorpat, Kazan and Kharkov universities. The focus is on the first university Charter, approved on November 5, 1804 by Alexander I. This Charter laid the foundations for the autonomy of universities and made them leading educational institutions in vast regions of the Russian Empire. A special place in the book is occupied by Moscow University, which has become a kind of “laboratory” for developing the principles of university reform and a model for other Russian universities in educational, methodological, research and cultural-educational work. The book is meant for historians, university and school teachers, students, as well as for a wide range of readers interested in the history of Russian culture.
