The book examines the implementation of the university Charter of 1835 and the activities of universities in the 1840s, when they became not only a source for obtaining a comprehensive amount of knowledge, but also “the temple of Russian civilization” (A.I. Herzen). The training of professors, their teaching and scientific activities, and connections between universities and the Academy of Sciences are examined. For the first time, a comprehensive analysis of the teaching staff of all six universities that existed in the mid-19th century was undertaken. These statistical data are combined with characteristics of the most prominent “university people” against the broad background of culture, scientific and social life of pre-reform Russia. The author focuses on Moscow University, which became under the trustee Count S.G. Stroganov again - as under M.N. Muravyov at the beginning of the 19th century was a standard of university reforms and established itself in public opinion as an all-Russian center of education. 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.
