This volume of the monograph is devoted to the preparation of the new university Charter of 1835. Contrary to the prevailing opinion about the secret work on this document in government spheres, archival materials indicate that university professors in Moscow, Kharkov, Kazan, and St. Petersburg took an active and direct part in the search for ways to reform higher education. A comprehensive analysis of the Charter and a comparison of Russian universities of that time with Western European ones allow us to conclude that by the middle of the 19th century, an original system of university education had developed in Russia. The author pays special attention to university reform projects developed at the oldest university - Moscow. Some of them were ahead of their time and were implemented in subsequent university statutes. The book is meant for historians, university and school teachers, students, as well as a wide range of readers interested in the history of Russian culture.
