This volume examines the implementation of the university reform of 1804, which took place in difficult socio-political conditions. The activities of Moscow University after the Patriotic War of 1812 are characterized. Particular attention is paid to its teaching staff, which represented an extremely stable and united scientific corporation that managed to embody the educational ideas of M.N. Muravyov and other creators of the first university charter. The formation of the student body at Moscow University is shown, and an analysis of student work is given. The initial period of activity of the Kharkov and Kazan universities, which were amazing examples of “cultural nests” in provinces far from the capitals, and the history of the creation of St. Petersburg University (1819) on the basis of the Main Pedagogical Institute are also studied. The reactionary policy of the Ministry of Public Education in the last years of the reign of Alexander I and the resistance that leading figures of Russian universities offered to it were examined. 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.
