Story

The date of creation of MGIMO is considered to be October 14, 1944, when the international faculty of Moscow State University, created a year earlier, was transformed into a separate institute. The first intake at MGIMO was 200 students. Among them were five Heroes of the Soviet Union, awarded this title for their exploits in the Great Patriotic War. Since 1946, students from foreign countries began to be sent to study at MGIMO.

In 1948, two faculties were formed - historical and international and international law. A year later, the Faculty of Economics was created (since 1950 - international economics). In the same year, a journalism elective and an elective for simultaneous interpreters were opened at the Faculty of History and International Studies. In 1954, it was included in MGIMO, the progenitor of which, in turn, was (founded in 1815). As a result, the range of countries studied was significantly expanded, and the study of two foreign languages was introduced in all MGIMO specialties. The previous three faculties also underwent reorganization; the result of their merger was the creation of two basic faculties - Western and Eastern.

In 2013, the Institute of International Relations and Management (School of Government and International Affairs) was created, on the basis of which the first bachelor's degree in Russia is being taught entirely in English.

In May 2017, as a result of the merger of the faculties of public administration and political science, the Faculty of Management and Politics was created.

Criticism

In March 2014, from the media [ which one?] it became known about the dismissal of professor of the Department of Philosophy Andrei Zubov for criticizing the position of the Russian authorities regarding Ukraine and Crimea. . In particular, the professor expressed his opinion in an article published in the Vedomosti newspaper, where he compares the policies of President V.V. Putin with the policies of A. Hitler (annexation of the Sudetenland of the Czech Republic and the Anschluss of Austria). Zubov notes in the article that the actions of fascist Germany in that period, just as in the case of Crimea, were motivated by considerations of protecting “compatriots”. Many well-known teachers spoke out in defense of Professor Zubov, who signed the corresponding open letter published on the website of the Interregional Trade Union of Higher Education Workers “University Solidarity”. Later, Professor Zubov was reinstated because he was a member of the election commission, and the order to dismiss him violated the law “On Basic Guarantees of Electoral Rights,” but at the end of the academic year the contract with him was not renewed.

According to the network expert community “Dissernet” as of April 2014, 19 dissertations containing significant plagiarism were defended in the dissertation council 209.002.01 at the Department of Legal Support of Management Activities of the International Institute of Management MGIMO. In six cases, the scientific supervisor of the dissertations was at the same time the head of the dissertation council, Professor Robert Yengibaryan, who, as of 2014, is the director of the International Institute of Management MGIMO and the chairman of the dissertation council at MGIMO-University for the defense of doctoral dissertations. According to him, dissertation council 209.002.01 has already ceased to exist due to the death of three council members and the change of jobs of some other members. Yengibaryan also spoke negatively towards experts looking for plagiarism, and commented on the claims regarding the dissertation of the director of the legal department of the Ministry of Finance, Svetlana Yachevskaya, as follows: “Jurisprudence is different in that you have to take something from somewhere, for example, a presidential message, and then start parsing this message...<…>Why is this “written off”? This is a free presentation of what the president said on this topic."

In 2018, the Faculty of International Relations at MGIMO celebrated its 75th anniversary. Over the past years, thousands of specialists have been trained who have contributed to strengthening the foreign policy positions of our country in the international arena, to the development of social sciences and journalism. A highly professional teaching staff has emerged, constantly in creative search, capable of solving the most complex problems in the training and education of young specialists. Curricula are being improved in accordance with new requirements for training qualified international specialists. New training courses are being actively introduced. Teachers of major, special and language departments create multimedia teaching aids and distance learning courses. Many monographs, course programs, as well as unique forms of conducting classes, authored by faculty teachers, are adopted by other universities in Russia. The practice of delivering interdepartmental courses, as well as lectures and master classes conducted by the most famous Russian scientists - directors of research institutes, academicians and corresponding members of the Russian Academy of Sciences, as well as leading foreign professors, is becoming increasingly widespread.

Russia's accession to the Bologna process in 2003 gave new impetus to the modernization of higher education. The Faculty of International Relations took an active part in implementing the principles of the Bologna Process at MGIMO. New modular and comprehensive programs were developed for all taught disciplines, a competency-based approach was actively introduced, allowing for the formation of professional universalism of an international affairs specialist, and a rating system for assessing students’ knowledge was introduced. The learning process was divided into two levels - bachelor's and master's degrees. The bachelor's degree allowed us to create a fundamental basis for practice-oriented training. Faculty specialists were at the origins of master’s programs in the areas of “foreign regional studies” and “international relations”, and today the faculty’s departments are actively involved in the implementation of all specialized master’s programs at MGIMO, including in English. A clear confirmation of the high quality of education provided at the faculty is that, according to the results of many admissions committees, the average competition for admission to undergraduate and graduate programs in the field of International Relations is one of the highest among all programs implemented at MGIMO.

The training of highly qualified international relations specialists requires a fundamental scientific base. Faculty staff and graduates are actively engaged in research activities within the framework of the University's scientific division - the Institute of International Studies. It would not be an exaggeration to say that the scientific potential of IMI is largely ensured through the efforts of the faculty staff. Thus, the Faculty of International Relations organically combines educational and research activities, and puts into practice the unity of education, science and upbringing.

The departments of the faculty are fruitfully working research teams conducting research in the field of international relations, diplomacy, history and other humanitarian disciplines. The faculty has formed scientific schools that have received recognition both in Russia and abroad. In a certain sense, the faculty has become a comprehensive educational and scientific center, interacting with Russian and foreign universities and scientific institutes of the Russian Academy of Sciences.

The Faculty of International Relations is characterized by a creative atmosphere, a pluralism of opinions, a variety of pedagogical and scientific concepts, and a deep awareness of strategic development objectives are natural. Organizational work and daily life at the faculty are democratic, while at the same time the best traditions that define the face of MGIMO are preserved.

From the moment of its creation until today, our faculty has been the country's leading center for training highly qualified international affairs specialists, a significant proportion of whom are foreign students - from countries both near and far abroad. Having appeared in 1943 exactly one year before the establishment of the institute itself, for many decades the Faculty of International Relations has not only served as the personification of MGIMO (it is not for nothing that the name of the faculty is already included in its abbreviation), but also contributes to the dynamic internal development of the university, because precisely by the need for further specialization of the curriculum, taught at the Moscow Region, explains the emergence of such basic faculties of the alma mater as MP, MJ and FP.

The history of the faculty, the history of our departments are, first of all, the people who stood at the origins, and these are those who now continue and enhance its glorious traditions, with their work contribute to the constant improvement of the training of modern international affairs professionals and to the implementation of long-term goals for the development of our University .

Dean of the Faculty
Doctor of History, Professor Yu.A. BULATOV

In 1991, a graduate of the faculty, Doctor of Historical Sciences, Professor Yuri Alekseevich Bulatov, an orientalist and specialist in the field of national relations, was elected dean. Over the past two decades, the faculty has continued to improve - responding to the challenges of changing times. First of all, this concerns the organization, equipment and support of the educational process.

The faculty uses a variety of forms and methods of teaching - round tables, business games, situational seminars, including with the involvement of highly qualified specialists from other universities and research centers. Much attention is paid to the independent work of students, which is the most important element in the preparation of a graduate of the Moscow Region.

The faculty provides training in two areas - regional studies and international relations. Its structure includes 16 departments, including 7 socio-political and special, 8 language, as well as the department of physical education. More than 350 teachers work at the faculty departments. Two thirds of them have an academic degree, 78 are doctors of science.

Academic work according to the plans of the faculty, in addition to the general university (general education) departments, is carried out by major and special departments. The faculty's core departments include the Department of International Relations and Foreign Policy of Russia and the Department of Diplomacy, as well as the Department of Applied Analysis of International Problems. Teaching regional studies, including history, economics and political systems of the countries being studied, as well as countries of the region, is provided by special departments of the faculty: the Department of History and Politics of Europe and America, the Department of Oriental Studies, the Department of World and National History, the Department of World Economy.

Teachers of language departments are highly qualified specialists with practical experience as interpreters, simultaneous interpreters and interpreters at high-level negotiations. The following departments teach foreign languages at the faculty:

English language No. 1;
German language;
languages of the Nordic and Baltic countries;
languages of the countries of Central and South-Eastern Europe.

Teaching languages of the peoples of Asia and Africa at all faculties of the institute is carried out by the following departments:

languages of the countries of the Near and Middle East;
Indo-Iranian and African languages;
Chinese, Vietnamese, Laotian and Thai languages;
Japanese, Korean, Mongolian and Indonesian languages.

Fluency in the main language being studied and mastery of a second foreign language is achieved through regular classes of 6–10 hours per week over 4–6 years of study. Although bachelor's degree graduates do not receive diplomas as professional translators or linguists, in most cases, in terms of their level of proficiency in foreign languages, they are not only not inferior to graduates of linguistic faculties, but even surpass them, especially when it comes to complex political negotiations, public speaking in the host country, and communication with representatives of the media. At the same time, many bachelor's degree graduates continue their studies in the linguistic master's program at MGIMO, which allows them to gain knowledge that corresponds to the qualifications of top-level professional translators.

The prospects for the work of the faculty are largely associated with an increase in the number of highly qualified teachers in special departments, as well as with the renewal of the teaching staff by attracting young specialists to scientific and teaching activities. The scientific growth of young personnel is associated with research activities, with the opportunity to publish research results in the form of not only articles, but also monographs and textbooks.

A distinctive feature of studying at the faculty is the practical orientation of the education received. A mandatory element of the senior year curriculum is the “Diplomatic Module” - a lecture course conducted by the leadership of the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs for a more detailed introduction to the structure of the Ministry and the features of work in all areas of the department’s activities. For many years, students of the Moscow Region have undergone introductory and pre-graduation internships at the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the Presidential Administration, the Government Office, the State Duma, the Ministry of Economic Development, the largest domestic companies, leading media outlets, etc. Every year, more than 100 students have the opportunity to gain first professional experience during pre-diploma internships at Russian Embassies and Trade Missions around the world, as well as the secretariats of the most important international organizations (primarily the UN system).

An integral part of the educational process at the faculty is maintaining extracurricular student activity. In addition to wide participation in the sports and cultural life of the institute, as well as volunteer movements organized on the basis of MGIMO, students of the Moscow Region are actively involved in such large-scale projects as the Vitaly Churkin Moscow International Model of the United Nations (MIMUN) and the A.G. Karlov Diplomatic Club.

The UN Models, held annually, are an exciting role-playing game during which students and high school students coming to MGIMO from all over the world reproduce the work of UN bodies on behalf of official representatives of participating countries in all 5 languages of the organization. The ability to defend the official position of the country being represented, including in a foreign language, as well as to find consensus for the adoption of a resolution on a specific issue are necessary skills for the future professional activities of students. Diplomatic Club named after. A.G. Karlov, functioning at the Department of Diplomacy, is not only a community of those who plan to connect their fate with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but also a platform for scientific and creative creativity, uniting the most talented, creative and enterprising students of all ages and faculties. Thematic master classes, “Diplomatic Olympiads” and the scientific and practical competition “Diplomat Briefing” have long become the “calling card” of the main club of the Faculty of International Relations, which is part of the MGIMO Scientific Student Society - an interfaculty association of scientific clubs of the institute.

Upon completion of the faculty, wide opportunities open up for diplomatic, research and teaching careers. Thanks to universal training, graduates of the faculty successfully study in economics, political science, and law master's programs at MGIMO and other Russian universities, as well as in prestigious foreign educational institutions. At the leading professional socio-political and language departments of the faculty, there are postgraduate schools with full-time study, and there is also the possibility of competition. Graduates also enter graduate school at leading departments of other MGIMO faculties, defend candidate and doctoral dissertations in historical, political, economic, legal and philological sciences, thereby replenishing the team of highly qualified international affairs specialists at MGIMO.

The Faculty of International Relations is the main division of MGIMO in training international specialists for the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and its foreign agencies. Its graduates form the main backbone of young specialists who are annually hired on a competitive basis to work at the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. They also work in various government agencies, international, public and political organizations, private firms and banks.

At the Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs, graduates of the faculty occupy responsible leadership positions: deputy ministers of foreign affairs, directors of departments, ambassadors extraordinary and plenipotentiary in many countries of the world, representatives of Russia in international organizations. Foreign Minister Sergei Viktorovich Lavrov also graduated from the Faculty of International Relations.

The faculty is also a source of personnel for the “command staff” of MGIMO. In addition to the rector, academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences A.V. Torkunov, among his graduates are the vice-rector for master's and international programs A.A. Baykov, the vice-rector for academic affairs V.B. Kirillov, the vice-rector for general affairs A.V. Malgin, the vice-rector for personnel policy V.M. Morozov, dean of the faculty Yu.A. Bulatov and many other heads of departments and divisions of the institute. The fame of the faculty has long surpassed the boundaries of our Motherland. Currently, about 200 foreign students from 42 countries are studying at the faculty, including from Vietnam, Germany, Greece, Egypt, Israel, Indonesia, Spain, Cyprus, Libya, the Republic of Korea, Peru, Thailand, Turkey, Syria, the USA, and also CIS countries.

International cooperation of the faculty is carried out within the framework of general MGIMO programs. In addition, the faculty independently expands relations with universities and youth organizations in countries far and near abroad. The main forms of cooperation are scientific internships for teachers and their participation in international conferences, as well as language internships for students in foreign universities.

History of MGIMO

The Moscow State Institute of International Relations, founded in 1944, is considered the oldest center where international relations specialists were trained. By decision of the Council of People's Commissars (October 14, 1944), it was decided to create this educational institution from the international faculty of Moscow State University. After the opening, there were only three faculties at MGIMO: economics, international and legal. There were only 200 students in the First Enrollment, but since 1946 they began sending applicants from foreign countries to study.

In 1954 there was a connection with the MIV (Moscow Institute of Oriental Studies). As a result, the university had an oriental department and a unique Lazarevsky library, which was famous for its collection of oriental literature. In 1958, the Institute of Foreign Trade (established in 1934) became part of MGIMO. Thanks to this circumstance, the training of specialists in foreign economic activity has significantly increased, and the Faculty of Economics has expanded. In 1969, the Faculty of International Journalism and the Faculty of International Law were inaugurated at the Institute, and in 1991 - the Faculty of International Business and Business Administration.

In 1994, the Moscow State Institute of International Relations was deservedly awarded the status of a university. In 1998, the Faculty of Political Science was opened.

I entered MGIMO at the Faculty of International Relations. I entered the budget with a total exam result of 354 points in 2012.
