Hello,
everyone!
I’m a
student of Tomsk State University, and I want to tell you, why
you should enter this university or just to come and visit it.
Firstly,
I want to tell you about the history of TSU. The university was opened in 1888.
It was the result of many claims and donations, made by wealthy people all over
the Western Siberia. At that times Tomsk used to be one of the biggest trading
town in Siberia. No wonder, it was chosen to host the first university in
Siberia.
At
first, the First Siberian Imperial University in Tomsk had only the faculty of
medicine, other faculties were founded later. The university had its own
botanical garden, dormitory, water supply system, and (later) scientific
library.
During the
Second World War the university was almost destroyed by government. Its main
building was occupied by Krasnogorsk Mechanical Works, an evacuated
optoelectronic factory. Only the courage of Tomsk scientists made the
university to survive this: after three years of total standstill they wrote a
letter to Joseph Stalin and asked him to move the factory away and restore TSU.
Also TSU gave
birth to several Tomsk universities: Tomsk Polytechnic University, Siberian
State Medical University and Tomsk State University of Control Systems and
Radio-electronics. They used to be the faculties of TSU, but decided to
separate from their “Alma Mater”.
Now TSU has 23
faculties and institutes and about 23 000 students. The rector is Eduard
V. Galazhinsky. It’s one of the best universities in Siberia and Russia.
