Development of a university education system. Volume 1.
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.
Development of a university education system. Volume 2.
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.
Development of a university education system. Volume 3.
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.
Development of a university education system. Volume 4. Part 1
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.
Development of a university education system. Volume 4. Part 2
This book is dedicated to university students of the 1840s, who began to act as a special social group of Russian society, united by common scientific, cultural, and subsequently political interests. Government policy towards student youth, its positive and negative consequences are examined. The social and ethnic composition of the student body is analyzed, and the different fates of students of the 40s are traced. The role of Russian universities of this period in training future leaders of the Great Reforms is considered. At the end of the book there is a name index to all volumes of the monograph. 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.

The evolution of the monetary systems of the Black Sea region and the Balkans in the XIII-XV centuries.
The states of the Balkans and the Black Sea region minted different coins and had different traditions in maintaining the currency system. The comparative study of these coins was necessary to demonstrate that changes affecting the currencies were determined by the genesis of the worldwide economic system and have appeared because the medieval financial approaches were universal. One thing was common for those dissimilar currencies: specie existed for the use of the authorities and of the subjects concurrently. Published and unpublished documents together with quantitative data obtained during the numismatic analysis allowed to find and to describe dates and circumstances of dozens reforms in the Byzantine and Tartar states, to reconstruct the ideology of medieval financiers. The first and the second gave us also names of the coins, their parameters, values, rates and cross-rates, different characteristics of the monetary fund as a whole. They were calculated with the use of original methods developed for the numismatic study based on the probability theory and reflecting the statistical nature of the numismatic material. The results accumulated in this book are not merely the description of the evolution of the financial systems in the region, they are the tool necessary for the research of the economic history of the Levant in the Middle Ages.
