The federal state educational institution of higher professional education "Velikolukskaya State Agricultural Academy" was created on December 4, 1957, first as the Velikoluksk Agricultural Institute, and then in 1995 received its current status.

The Academy today is a modern educational and scientific complex equipped with the latest laboratory equipment and digital technology, computer classes and instruments, where 3,823 students study full-time and part-time. The university trains higher education specialists in 15 specialties, including 5 undergraduate areas. Currently, 13 open source software programs are at the final stage of licensing.

The structure of the academy includes 5 faculties, 16 departments, 4 research laboratories, 18 computer classes, postgraduate studies in 16 specialties, a center continuing education, experimental field, scientific library, information and consultation center, editorial and publishing department, training park, health center, recreation center, etc.

The educational process is provided by highly qualified teachers and researchers with a total number of 181 people, including 21 doctors/professors, the average degree of departments is 64%.

Research work is carried out in close cooperation with the agricultural sector of the Pskov and adjacent Tver and Smolensk regions. The basic scientific and technical project "Development of a regionally adapted system of measures for the development and stabilization of the agro-industrial complex of the Pskov region" includes 4 complex topics. The priority is to carry out applied scientific research on the problems of increasing the productivity and breeding qualities of cattle, improving the potato seed production system, and creating highly productive cultivated pastures. The total volume of research work performed in 2010 exceeded 15 million rubles.

As part of the federal program social development In the village, in cooperation with the management bodies of the regional agro-industrial complex and the business community, the work of the academy’s information and consultation center was organized, which provides consulting support to agricultural producers.

The academy is successfully developing a system of additional professional education aimed at organizing advanced training and professional retraining of workers and specialists of the agro-industrial complex of the region, providing additional educational services to academy employees, students, legal and individuals in 24 licensed areas. The volume of funds received over the past three years has increased 4 times and last year amounted to more than 4 million rubles.

Today, the Velikolukskaya Agricultural Academy is one of the largest dynamically developing universities in the Pskov region, which over the years has trained more than 25 thousand specialists and is capable in modern market conditions of providing the agro-industrial complex and industrial enterprises of the region with highly qualified personnel, a university capable of influencing the development of agriculture, economics and social sphere Pskov region.

History of the Academy

The last volleys of the Great Fire died down Patriotic War. Devastation in the country. The long-suffering Velikiye Luki land, like many other regions that were in the zone of hostilities and occupation German fascist invaders, needed to restore the destroyed economy.

Agricultural enterprises were particularly affected. Collective and state farms were plundered. The land, wounded and pitted like smallpox, needed reclamation and reclamation.

To restore agriculture, it was necessary to identify priority directions in rural development. It was necessary to launch capital construction, restore farms and the number of farm animals, update the machine and tractor fleet and develop a system for the correct operation of equipment, introduce technologies that could quickly provide the country with bread and animals with a sufficient amount of nutritious feed. What was required was not just the participation of all surviving villagers - good practitioners, but also the competent leadership of specialists: agronomists, livestock specialists, mechanical engineers, economists. Therefore, the urgent task of training highly qualified personnel for the village had to be solved by higher educational institutions of agricultural profile.

Decrees of the Presidium Supreme Council USSR on August 22 and 23, 1944, in order to quickly restore the national economy of the region, which suffered greatly from the fascist invasion and the approach of the regional leadership directly to the places, independent Velikolukskaya and Pskov regions were formed as part of the Russian Federation. They were almost exclusively agricultural, since the creation of modern industry occurred later. The restoration of the pre-war level of production, as well as its further development, depended to a large extent on the availability of qualified specialists. And there was an acute shortage of them in the new areas. We had to be content with graduates of agricultural schools and technical schools with secondary education, and most often with short-term courses. Also, many people without special education worked on collective farms, state farms and MTS.

On January 20, 1950, a joint resolution “On the organization of an agricultural institute in the city of Pskov” was adopted by the Pskov regional party committee and the regional executive committee. A month later, on February 24 of the same year, the governing bodies of the Velikiye Luki region followed their example, adopting a resolution “On the organization of an agricultural institute in the city of Velikiye Luki.” The leadership of both regions, taking into account the acute shortage of highly qualified agricultural personnel, asked the Council of Ministers of the USSR to open agricultural institutes in the regional centers, making specific proposals.

The Bureau of the Velikiye Luki Regional Party Committee instructed the agricultural department (headed by I.S. Gustov) and the regional agricultural department to prepare a corresponding note to the Central Committee and the Government of the USSR. It contained a request to transfer boxes of buildings for the newly organized university former airport, after the restoration of which, they would house the educational and residential premises of the institute. The necessary funds were also requested for this, in such a way that already in 1951, to organize the enrollment of first-year students in four faculties: agronomics, zootechnical, hydromelioration and agricultural mechanization, and in the future to provide for the organization of a faculty for retraining of agricultural specialists and management collective farm personnel .

But at that time, neither Pskov nor Velikiye Luki organized agricultural universities. The issue itself was not removed from the agenda, but waited in the wings.

Only six years passed, and on October 2, 1957, by decision of the Supreme Council of the RSFSR, the Velikiye Luki Region was abolished. By that time, the situation in the country had also changed. The new leadership headed by N.S. Khrushchev announced the task of raising and developing agriculture priority direction. Its implementation was to a large extent connected with the development of agricultural science and the availability of experienced personnel.

The leadership of the now united Pskov region again took the initiative, and on October 12, 1957, the Pskov regional committee of the CPSU and the regional executive committee returned to the issue of organizing an agricultural institute in the region. A written justification was prepared by the Central Committee of the CPSU, the Government and the Council of Ministers of the USSR.

“In connection with the annexation of 19 districts and the city of Velikiye Luki of the former Velikolukskaya region to the Pskov region, the Pskov region is significantly expanding,” it noted, “currently the region includes 43 administrative rural districts, 97 MTS, 44 state farms and 1531 collective farms. The Pskov region, like other regions of the North-West, experiences an acute shortage of agricultural specialists, especially with higher education, as it is replenished with young specialists from the southern and central regions who, after working for 2-3 years, tend to leave for their homeland.

In connection with the abolition of regional organizations in the city of Velikiye Luki, the opportunity arose to organize an agricultural institute. Administrative buildings with an area of over 11 thousand m 2 have been released, of which the following can be used: for an educational building - the building of the Velikoluksky Regional Committee of the CPSU with an area of 4.5 thousand m 2 and an educational building for party courses with an area of 2.5 thousand m 2, for a student dormitory - a building previously occupied by a dormitory for party courses with an area of 2.5 thousand m 2, for apartments for teaching staff - two new, unoccupied residential buildings for 77 apartments. Living space in other vacant houses can also be used for these purposes. The educational and experimental farm of a higher agricultural educational institution can be located on the basis of the abolished women's technical training complex, located near the city and with a land mass of over 1000 hectares and the necessary production and residential buildings...”

This time the voice of Pskov residents in Moscow was heard. This was obviously facilitated by the initiative of N.S. Khrushchev, embodied in a special Resolution of the CPSU Central Committee and the USSR Council of Ministers on the withdrawal of educational institutions, especially agricultural ones, from large cities to places of production. Therefore, the Pskov Regional Committee of the CPSU asked to consider the possibility of transferring the Agricultural Institute from Leningrad or Moscow to Velikiye Luki.

On December 4, 1957, the Council of Ministers of the USSR adopted a Resolution on the organization of the Velikiye Luki Agricultural Institute on the basis of the Leningrad Institute of Applied Zoology and Phytopathology and the Smolensk Zooveterinary Institute. He recommended relocating students, some teachers and equipment to Velikiye Luki.

In December 1957, students and some of the teachers of the zootechnical faculty arrived from the Smolensk Zooveterinary Institute to Velikiye Luki with all its property and equipment. Students arrived in the amount of 441 people from all five courses: first year - 74, second - 99, third - 121, fourth - 73, fifth - 74.

In January 1958, the Velikiy Luki Agricultural Institute began educational activities, incorporating the zootechnical faculty, which initially determined its leading specialization. In June 1958, employees of the Leningrad Institute of Applied Zoology and Phytopathology arrived in the city of Velikiye Luki with the equipment and property of this institute. On its basis, a faculty for advanced training of agronomists in plant protection began to operate at the All-Russian Agricultural Institute.

Main (first) building of the academy

Since the Velikiye Luki Agricultural Institute became the successor to the Smolensk Zooveterinary Institute and the Leningrad Institute of Applied Zoology and Phytopathology, it is fair to briefly touch on their history.

The Smolensk Zooveterinary Institute, created in 1952, had two faculties: zootechnical and veterinary.

building of the Smolensk Zooveterinary Institute, 1956

In 1955, the veterinary faculty, without making a single graduation in Smolensk, was transferred to the Vitebsk Veterinary Institute. The Zootechnical Faculty of the Smolensk Institute managed to graduate 70 livestock scientists in 1957 before being transferred to Velikiye Luki.

A group of students who came to VSHI from the Smolensk Zooveterinary Institute, 1957.

The first rector of the Smolensk Zooveterinary Institute was Candidate of Agricultural Sciences T.M. Omelchenko (1952 - 1954), the second (and last) was Candidate of Biological Sciences V.T. Khlebas (1954 - 1957).

25 people from the teaching staff of the Smolensk Zooveterinary Institute moved to Velikiye Luki. Some of them (N.A. Andreev, I.T. Baykov, G.I. Voronkova, P.M. Emelyanov, A.N. Martsishin, A.N. Miroshkin, E.F. Stepanov, K.G. Shipov) worked at VSHI for a short time (less than 3 years). Most of the teachers from Smolensk devoted many years of their work to the Velikiye Luki Agricultural Institute. labor activity. Among them are Doctor of Veterinary Sciences, Professor N.P. Tikhomirov, who worked at the All-Russian Agricultural Institute for 23 years, including 17 years as head of the Department of Fundamentals of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Hygiene (1958 - 1975); Candidate of Historical Sciences, Associate Professor P.A. Feoktistova, who worked at the All-Russian Agricultural Institute for 18 years (1958 - 1970), headed the department of Marxism-Leninism; Candidate of Biological Sciences, Associate Professor A.Ya.

Department of Anatomy and Physiology of Farm Animals.

Candidate of Veterinary Sciences, Associate Professor V.T. Kryachko

For more than 10 years, K.P. Starkova, associate professor of the department of private animal husbandry and dairy science, candidate of agricultural sciences, senior lecturer of the department of Marxism-Leninism V.L., who arrived from Smolensk, worked at the All-Russian Agricultural Institute. Gruzdeva, senior lecturer of the Department of Physical Education and Sports V.I. Sizov.

Candidates of Agricultural Sciences, associate professors I.A., who also arrived from Smolensk, also worked at VSHI for about 5 years. Minin, G.S. Isaev, I.I. Titov, I.N. Radaev, A.A. Gubonin.

All of them contributed to the formation of the Velikiy Luki Agricultural Institute, and many of them contributed to its further development.

The duration of study at the institute was two years. Persons with higher and secondary agronomic and biological education and production experience were accepted into it. Educational and scientific work was carried out in 11 departments. The institute trained specialists through graduate school.

Over the 36 years of its existence, IZIF has trained 5,750 specialists in plant protection from pests and diseases, in plant quarantine, in aerochemical methods of combating pests and diseases of agricultural crops for departments and detachments of the civil air fleet, as well as zoologists for anti-epidemic institutions of the USSR Ministry of Health. Many specialists in the field of plant protection have improved their qualifications through short-term courses at this institute. Among the graduates of the Leningrad IZIF there were 12 doctors and about 200 candidates of science.

During the Great Patriotic War, the institute continued to work in the city of Pavlovsk, Altai Territory.

From 1922 to 1943, Honored Scientist, Professor I.I. worked as the director of IZIF from 1922 to 1943. Bogdanov-Katkov, from 1948 to 1953 - candidate of agricultural sciences B.A. Bryantsev and from 1953 to 1958 - Candidate of Agricultural Sciences N.S. Fedorinchik.

In June 1958, 242 first-year students were transferred from the Leningrad Institute of Applied Zoology and Phytopathology (general faculty - 172 students, quarantine - 51, aviation chemistry - 19).

Of the 39 IZIF teachers, 8 agreed to move to Velikiye Luki. Among them: candidate of agricultural sciences, associate professor M.I. Shevchenko, who became the first dean of the faculty of advanced training of agronomists for plant protection at VSHI, head.

G.A., who arrived from IZIF from the position of librarian, worked at VSHI for 35 years. Dadychenko. She worked at VSHI for 27 years as an assistant, then as a senior teacher in the Department of Chemistry.

FORMATION AND DEVELOPMENT OF THE INSTITUTE

To carry out its main task - training - the institute must have, first of all, the appropriate material and technical base and teaching staff. This was the main focus of the institute’s management from the first years of its existence.

Administrative buildings that were vacated after the abolition of the Velikoluksk region, as well as property received from the Smolensk Zooveterinary Institute and the Leningrad Institute of Applied Zoology and Phytopathology in the form of educational and scientific equipment, the book stock of their libraries, served as the basis for the material and technical base of the newly created Velikoluksky Agricultural Institute, and Specialists who arrived from Smolensk and Leningrad became the backbone of its teaching staff.

The staffing of the VSHI departments was facilitated by a significant contingent of workers in various specialties who were released from work during the abolition of the Velikiy Luki region. For example, A.A. was hired as the chief accountant of the institute. Ivanov, who previously worked in the regional committee of the CPSU, and his deputy was G.E. Sandler, who worked in the regional committee of the agricultural workers' trade union. A highly qualified specialist who worked as deputy manager of the regional dairy industry trust A.I. was hired as a teacher of the dairy course. Dmitrov, who in 1959 was awarded academic title Associate Professor without defending a PhD thesis.

In the first year of the institute's existence, young specialists arrived to work as teachers. From Moscow after completing graduate school at the Moscow Agricultural Academy named after K.A. Timiryazev in 1958, candidates of sciences I.A. Malygina, E.A. Savkina, B.D. Kambegov, P.I. Kondratyev, and after graduating from graduate school at the Moscow Veterinary Academy - candidates of sciences G.V. Kalachev, L.N. Goltyaeva, wife V.A. Musatov and T.V. Shakhova. From the Moldavian Experimental Station of Animal Husbandry and Veterinary Medicine in 1958, the spouses of S.Ya. and G.A. Senic, candidates of science, who completed postgraduate studies at the Moldavian Veterinary Academy.

Spouses N.N. came from Leningrad to work as teachers. Golenishchev and L.I. Pravdin, who completed graduate school at the All-Union Institute of Plant Protection.

In the same 1958, the following people moved from other universities in the country to scientific and pedagogical work at the All-Russian Agricultural Institute: P.T. Orlov - from the Grodno Agricultural Institute, A.N. Dobrolyubsky - from the University of Chisinau, A.P. Klykov - from the Ryazan Agricultural Institute, wife S.M. and R.I. Belyakovs from the Belarusian Agricultural Academy, M.S. Kovyndikov - from the Leningrad Veterinary Institute.

Among those who arrived in 1958 were I.A. Zaitsev, L.S. Mironova, A.P. Mikhailov, T.I. Nikiforova, V.P. Ulikhin, R.A. Chabdarova, I.S. Shembel; in 1959 - L.A. Zakolodina-Mitina; in 1960 - S.S. Baranovskaya, spouses L.F. and D.V. Ippolitovs, N.I. Kotelnikov, N.K. Filatov.

N.K. Filatov

In October 1958, at the direction of the USSR Ministry of Agriculture, A.K. arrived to the post of vice-rector for educational and scientific work. Ermolaev.

Among those who came to teach at the institute in the first three years of its existence, many later became its veterans.

For newly arrived teachers, the city authorities allocated apartments in the best three houses at that time, located in the city center near the institute. The favorable and caring attitude of the regional and city authorities supported and facilitated the hard work of forming a new institute and organizing the educational process.

The expansion and strengthening of the material base was facilitated by the receipt of many educational materials from the All-Union Agricultural Exhibition (VSKhV), which at that time was transformed into the Exhibition of Achievements of the National Economy (VDNKh).

Initially, 12 departments were formed at the institute:

Department of Marxism-Leninism;

Department of Inorganic, Organic and Biological Chemistry;

Department of Physics and Agricultural Mechanization;

Department of Foreign Languages;

Department of Botany and Agronomy;

Department of Anatomy, Histology and Physiology of Farm Animals;

Department of Feeding and Breeding of Farm Animals;

Department of Private Animal Husbandry;

Department of Fundamentals of Veterinary Medicine and Animal Hygiene;

Department of Economics and Organization of Agricultural Enterprises;

Department of Special Training;

Department of Physical Education and Sports.

On January 7, 1958, classes began at the only zootechnical faculty at that time (renamed zootechnical in 1976). In the same year, the following faculties were opened as part of VSHI:

Agronomic (renamed agroecological in 1996);

Correspondence education;

Faculty of Advanced Training for Plant Protection Specialists, which in 1966 was transformed into the Faculty of Advanced Training for Managers and Agricultural Specialists (FPK) with the inclusion of month-long advanced training courses for agricultural specialists and a year-long training and advanced training school that have been continuously operating at the institute since 1963 management personnel of collective and state farms, transferred in 1964 from Pskov.

Building of the Agroecological (Agronomic) Faculty

In 1960, the Institute created the Faculty of Plant Protection, which in 1989 was reorganized into the Department of Plant Protection of the Faculty of Agronomy.

In 1962, the institute opened the Faculty of Agricultural Mechanization (since 1995 - the Faculty of Engineering) and in 1981 - the Faculty of Economics.

By 1961, the number of departments at the institute increased to 21. Since the department is the main structural unit of the university, it makes sense to list them all and at the same time name the heads of the departments during the period of formation and initial development:

Department of Marxism-Leninism (head of the department, Candidate of Historical Sciences, Associate Professor P.A. Feoktistova);

Department of Physics and Meteorology (head of the department, candidate of physical and mathematical sciences, associate professor A.P. Dobrolyubsky);

Department of Microbiology (head of the department, Candidate of Biological Sciences, Associate Professor G.I. Zhuravsky);

Department of Special Training (head of department P.N. Radaev).

In 1961, in accordance with the resolution of the Council of Ministers of the USSR, the department of special training was disbanded.

Dormitory No. 1 of the Faculty of Agroecology

In order to improve educational, methodological and research work, from October 1, 1960, for the first time at the institute, the departments were distributed among the three faculties that existed at that time.

The Faculty of Agronomy includes the following departments: economics and organization; mechanization and electrification; agriculture and crop production; soil science; botany and plant physiology; inorganic, organic and biological chemistry; special training.

The Faculty of Animal Science included the following departments: Marxism-Leninism and Political Economy; feeding farm animals; breeding farm animals; private livestock and dairy farming; basics of veterinary medicine and animal hygiene; anatomy and physiology of farm animals; foreign languages.

The Faculty of Plant Protection united the departments: general and agricultural entomology; general and agricultural phytopathology; chemical methods of plant protection; zoology; microbiology; physics and meteorology; physical education and sports.

The distribution of departments by faculties has been preserved to this day.

In 1962, with the opening of the Faculty of Agricultural Mechanization, 4 new departments were organized:

Department of Tractors and Automobiles (head of the department, Candidate of Agricultural Sciences, Associate Professor S.M. Belyakov);

Department of Agricultural Machines (head of the department, Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor V.N. Ryabtsev);

Department of repair and technology of metals (head of the department, candidate of technical sciences, associate professor V.A. Gnoyanik);

Department of Higher Mathematics (head of department K.I. Khazov).

In 1963, the Department of Strength of Materials, Theoretical Mechanics and Drawing was created (head of the department, Candidate of Technical Sciences, Associate Professor G.A. Khailis), in 1965 - the Department of Operation of the Machine and Tractor Fleet (Head of the Department, Associate Professor I.G. Usevich) and the Department of Electrification and electric drive (head of the department M.P. Kuznetsova), renamed in 1977 into the department of livestock mechanization (head of the department, candidate of technical sciences, associate professor P.I. Moiseev).

Dormitory No. 2

With the expansion of the institute, the opening of new faculties and an increase in the volume of teaching load, individual departments are disaggregated, new ones are created, their total number in 1968 - 1970 increases to 32. For example, in 1961, the department of agriculture and plant growing was divided into two: the department of agriculture (head. the department is Candidate of Agricultural Sciences, Associate Professor L.P. Chemodanov) and the Department of Plant Growing (head of the department is Candidate of Agricultural Sciences, Associate Professor N.K. Filatov). In 1966, the Department of Meadow Growing was created (the head of the department is Doctor of Agricultural Sciences, Professor B.P. Kudelin), in 1968 - the Department of Horticulture (the head of the department is Candidate of Agricultural Sciences, Associate Professor L.A. Nikonov).

In search of a better organizational structure of the institute and its improvement, for the 35th anniversary of the institute (1992), a number of departments were merged and their total number was reduced to 22:

Department of Social and Humanitarian Disciplines (head of the department, Candidate of Philosophy, Associate Professor G.T. Trofimova);

Department of General Agriculture and Agrochemistry (head of the department, Doctor of Agricultural Sciences, Professor I.A. Ivanov);

In the process of development of the institute, its material and technical base continues to expand. In 1971, educational building No. 4 of the Faculty of Agricultural Mechanization with an area of 6357 m 2 was put into operation. Classrooms (lecture and laboratory) are equipped with modern technical means training. Electronic technology is constantly being introduced into the educational process. Specialized laboratories are being created: computer technology laboratories with personal computers, plant and feed analysis laboratory, biochemical laboratory, dairy laboratory.

Faculty of Engineering (Faculty of Agricultural Mechanization)

In 1990, construction began on another academic building, the fifth in a row and the largest in area (9600 m2). The number of dormitories has increased to five.

Currently, the total area of four academic buildings (without the fifth one under construction) is 21,826 m 2 and the area of dormitories is 14,092 m 2, which makes it possible to provide housing for 100% of nonresident students in need.

Over the years of development of the university, the number of teaching and educational support staff has increased 3 times. If in 1959 the institute had 76 teachers on staff, including one doctor of science, professor, 37 candidates of science, associate professors and 39 teaching and support staff, then in 2007 the teaching staff already consists of 245 people, including Doctors of Science, professors - 26 (of which 10 part-time) and 146 candidates of science, associate professors. The educational support staff numbers 149 people.

Naturally, the number of students has also increased. In 1958, 515 people studied at the institute, including 440 in five years of the zootechnical faculty and 75 in the first year of the agronomy faculty. As of October 1, 2007, there were 2,086 full-time students in four faculties, that is, 3.4 times more than in 1958.

Dormitory No. 3

In the first years of the institute's existence, most of the applicants had already experienced agricultural work. For example, in 1959, of the 225 students admitted to the first year, 110 had at least two years of work experience, 13 were sent to study by collective farms. In some years, the number of economic scholarship recipients reached 50% of those accepted.

It should be noted that, despite objective difficulties, the academy managed to maintain a medical service, which has been headed by an experienced paramedic, T.V., for more than ten years. Vatolina.

Also, through the efforts of the academy administration, a medical center equipped with modern medical and preventive equipment has been preserved on the basis of the former sanatorium-preventorium “Niva”. Created good conditions to receive patients, even in the event of an emergency, the workers of the first-aid post are ready to provide daily qualified assistance to all patients who contact them.

Unfortunately, today almost all young people have low hemoglobin, which is the cause of the development of anemia. Such children need treatment, nutritious nutrition, monitoring of blood tests, a referral for which can be given by a doctor at the academy’s first-aid post. In addition, there is specialized equipment for diagnosing the cardiovascular system. It is also not uncommon for students to come in with various injuries. The assistance required in these situations is generally provided on site, except in cases where consultation with specialist doctors is required.

“I’m not afraid of injections, if necessary I’ll inject myself.” These words are addressed to paramedic A.Yu. Mikhailova patients who require various injections, for example, with high blood pressure and high temperature, which can be prescribed either regularly or one-time. For this purpose, the academy’s medical center has a specialized room.

A special pride of the academy’s medical center is the physiotherapy room, equipped in accordance with modern requirements. Devices for laser, EF therapy, UHF, and treatment with high-frequency currents help take care of the health of students not only during periods of exacerbation of acute respiratory diseases, but also during periods of increased injuries among athletes. The Academy's physicians are also armed with a broad-spectrum device, D'Arsonval DE-212 KARAT. It is widely used not only to improve facial skin tone and strengthen hair, but also darsonvalization procedures help in the treatment of varicose veins and osteochondrosis.

And to increase the body’s immunity and resistance to viral infections In autumn and winter you can sign up for a visit to the solarium. In addition, a horizontal solarium installed in a physiotherapy room will help modern fashionistas get an even chocolate tan in just a few sessions. Moreover, the myth about the dangers of tanning in a solarium for the skin has long been debunked.

Not only the ultraviolet rays of a solarium can help in the fight against depression and stress, but also an excellent therapeutic and preventive device, named after its creator “Chizhevsky’s lamp.” This wonderful device, which aeroionizes indoor air, is a wonderful addition to the home interior of the relaxation room equipped in the academy’s first-aid post. A visit to it will restore your lost performance and allow you to enjoy a “living” environment, equal in its properties to the air of the best resorts in the world.

Benevolent, always friendly doctors honorably carry out the difficult duty of protecting the health of students and staff of the academy. They have to apply not only their own skillful hands, but also carry out enormous preventive and explanatory work. After all, it is much easier to prevent a disease than to treat it later. Therefore, I would like to wish our doctors that they have fewer visitors.

On the eve of the 25th anniversary of the Velikiy Luki Agricultural Institute, the team came up with the idea of creating a museum of the history of the institute.

Under the chairmanship of the oldest veteran of the institute, P.A. Feoktistova creates a museum council, whose members begin collecting documents and photographs reflecting the history of the institute. A lot of materials were collected. However, they needed systematization and qualified description. It was necessary to do a lot of work to prepare the exposition. And for this we needed a specialist with experience in museum work.

T.M. turned out to be such a specialist. Zharkova, who was hired at the institute in 1981 and competently took on the implementation of her plans. Over the course of a year and a half, she completed big job to collect exhibits, a thematic and exhibition plan of the museum was developed, taking into account the capabilities of the hall allocated for it with an area of 102 m2.

As a result of great painstaking and creative work, done by Taisiya Mikhailovna, an interesting exhibition was created, and it was decided to give the museum the name “Museum of Labor and Military Glory of the Institute.”

In the process of creating the museum, many members of the institute’s staff and, above all, veterans, as well as graduates, who willingly donated the historical materials they had preserved as a gift to the museum, were very interested in this work.

Institute graduate V.D. devoted a lot of attention and creative energy to the creation of the museum. Ganyushkin, who worked at that time as vice-rector for scientific work. Under his leadership, employees of the research sector participated in this work: Ya.V. Bystrov, P. Abramov, B. Laputin.

The necessary assistance was provided to the creators of the museum by the rector of the institute P.M. Kondratiev.

The opening of the museum took place on February 12, 1983, on the day of the celebration of the 25th anniversary of the Velikiye Luki Agricultural Institute.

The exhibition includes a letter from the management of the Vladimir Tractor Plant dated August 31, 1990, with gratitude to the institute for organizing student internships (practice supervisor teacher G.A. Balanchuk). Students who completed the entire internship program provided great assistance to the plant in producing equipment for the village. The letter contains a proposal to continue cooperation.

In the training of young specialists, great importance is attached to instilling scientific research skills in students in the process of performing laboratory, course and diploma works, educational and industrial practices. In 1974, for its success in organizing research work, the institute was awarded an Honorary Diploma of the USSR Ministry of Higher Education and the Komsomol Central Committee.

The first head of the SPTKB was Associate Professor V.P. Moiseev (1984 - 1987), who was replaced in 1987 by senior lecturer N.Ya. Shchepilov. Under the guidance of teachers and research staff, students developed design and technological documentation, in particular, for the reconstruction of grain drying and cleaning complexes and feed preparation shops on farms in the region, and in the summer, in the third working semester, as part of research and production teams, they introduced their own developments.

The section “Research Work” reflects the scientific and technical creativity of the academy’s employees. Over the history of the university, they have submitted over 400 rationalization proposals and received about 200 copyright certificates for inventions. More than 20 of the best scientific developments were exhibited at VDNH of the USSR.
