Legal academy named after kutafin official. Northwestern Institute (branch) of the Federal State Budgetary Educational Institution of Higher Education "Moscow State Law University named after O. E.

In 2016, Moscow State Law University named after O.E. Kutafina (Moscow State Law Academy), one of the leading law schools in Russia, celebrated its 85th anniversary.

From 1931 to the present day, a long way has been passed from the Central Correspondence Courses of Soviet Law, which, after consolidation and several renaming, turned into an authoritative educational institution that trains lawyers - the All-Union Correspondence Law Institute (VYUZI) to the flagship of domestic legal education. Many of those who today make up the country's legal elite studied here. Being a University graduate is not only honorable, but also authoritative.

Moscow State Law Academy is not just an educational institution, but a real Alma Mater for students. Students receive fundamental theoretical knowledge, practical skills and, equally important, the spirit of the profession. They educate the moral qualities of real lawyers: purposefulness, the ability to lead a discussion, love for people and their work. It is this approach that allows us to educate real professionals in their field and the successors of the long traditions of legal education. Undoubtedly, this is the merit of the faculty of the University, its "golden fund".
A graduate of VYUZI 1978, State Secretary, Deputy Head of the Central Bank of the Russian Federation Alexander Torshin recalls his mentors with awe: “Our teachers did not only give knowledge. They instilled a taste for the legal profession. This is not a casual attitude towards a person. The approach was almost individual. When the professors came out, it was immediately clear that these were the inhabitants of heaven. The qualifications were such and the lecturing art was at such a level that you immediately understood: there is a master in front of you! "

During its activity, the University has trained and graduated over 180,000 specialists with higher legal education. The university is proud of its graduates, among whom there are many well-known, distinguished lawyers and outstanding scientists.

Over the years, prominent domestic jurists have worked at the University: Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, laureate of the Presidential Prize, co-chairman of the Association of Lawyers of Russia Oleg Kutafin, Academician of the Russian Academy of Sciences, laureate of the State Prize of the USSR Vladimir Kudryavtsev, professors Anatoly Vengerov, Mark Gurvich, Boris Zdravomyslov, Yuri Kozlov, Polina Lupinskaya, Valentin Martemyanov, Stepan Mitrichev, Vladimir Ryasentsev, Valentina Tolkunova, Zinovy \u200b\u200bChernilovsky, Maria Shakaryan, Anton Vasiliev and other legal scholars.

Today, the educational process and research work at the University is provided by 14 institutes, 3 branches, 31 departments. The University has more than 20 scientific schools and directions. The teaching staff numbers over 890 teachers, including one corresponding member of the Russian Academy of Sciences, at least 180 doctors and 520 candidates of sciences, 30 honored lawyers of the Russian Federation, 13 honored scientists of the Russian Federation, more than 70 honorary workers of higher professional education of the Russian Federation ...

About 13,000 students study at the University at the same time, over 400 post-graduate students and applicants, 350 foreign citizens are being trained. The process of teaching students in accordance with the requirements of the present time is in constant development.

The development of legal education follows the path of profiling. In this regard, truly unique areas (corporate, competition, sports law) are developing at the Moscow State Law Academy, new Institutes are being created in which students study (Institute of Business Law, Institute of Modern Applied Law, Institute of Forensic Expertise, etc.), which have no analogues not only in our country, but also abroad.







1931 was a turning point for correspondence legal education in the RSFSR.

There was a shortage of legal personnel in the country. Until that time, the training of lawyers by correspondence was carried out at the faculties of Soviet law, the largest of which was the faculty at Moscow State University (formed in 1927).

On March 21, 1931, at the collegium of the RSFSR People's Commissariat of Justice, it was decided to transform the former faculties of Soviet law into independent institutions.

On June 1, 1931, the Statute on the Moscow Institute of Soviet Law was adopted. The first director of the Moscow Institute of Soviet Law was P.I. Knock. At the same time, the Collegium of the NCJ of the RSFSR decided to organize correspondence courses for the training and retraining of lawyers.

The organization of legal universities and training of personnel of justice workers were considered at the V meeting of leading officials of justice on July 18, 1931. The resolution adopted at it noted that "for the speedy training and retraining of personnel of Soviet justice workers without interrupting their direct practical work", correspondence courses in legal education should be organized as part of the Moscow Institute of Soviet Law.

On December 26, 1931, the Collegium of the People's Commissariat of Justice of the RSFSR adopted the Regulation on correspondence education in Soviet law In accordance with this document, the direction of correspondence education was carried out by the Central Correspondence Courses of Soviet Law, which were equated to a correspondence legal university, and in a circular dated January 13, 1932, they were called the Correspondence Institute of Soviet Law.

On October 21, 1933, the Collegium of the NKJ of the RSFSR transformed the Central Correspondence Courses of Soviet Law into the Central Correspondence Institute of Soviet Law (TsZISP) with the status of the correspondence legal education sector of the Department of Training and Retraining of Personnel of the NKJ RSFSR. The task of the institute included training, retraining and advanced training in the form of correspondence courses for judicial and prosecutorial officials, legal advisers and employees of economic and state institutions.

By the decree of the Central Executive Committee and the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR dated March 5, 1935, "On measures to develop and improve legal education", the institutions of Soviet law that existed at that time were renamed into legal institutions. The Central Correspondence Institute of Soviet Law began to be called the Central Correspondence Legal Institute (CSLI).

Later, by the Decree of the NCJ of the RSFSR of July 3, 1936, legal institutions were named legal. The Central Correspondence Law Institute became the Central Correspondence Law Institute (CYUZI).

The Institute had 7 sectors on the territory of the RSFSR with 36 consulting centers and 8 branches: in Kharkov, Minsk, Tiflis (Tbilisi), Baku, Yerevan, Tashkent, Stalinabad, Ashgabat, i.e. actually became all-Union.

In accordance with the Decree of the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR No. 703 of April 29, 1937, which was not intended for publication, “On the transfer of the Moscow, Leningrad and Kazan legal institutes and the V.I. professors of Serbian "Central Law Correspondence Institute received a new name, which bore 63 years - All-Union Law Correspondence Institute (VYUZI).

By the decree of the Collegium of the NKJ of the USSR of October 18, 1940, the All-Union Correspondence Law Academy was annexed to the All-Union Correspondence Law Academy. At the same time, scientific work really began. The first issue of "Scientific Notes of VYUZI" has been published.

In accordance with the order of the Ministry of Higher Education of the USSR No. 421 of May 18, 1956, an evening faculty was opened in Moscow at the All-Union School of Education.

By 1960, VYUZI had 6 correspondence faculties (Moscow, Kuibyshev (Samara), Krasnodar, Khabarovsk, Gorky (Nizhny Novgorod), Ivanovo) and 6 educational and consulting centers (Orenburg, Kaliningrad, Magadan, Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Petropavlovsk-Kamchatsky, Ordzhonikidze (Vladikavkaz).

In 1987, O.E. For the first time in the Soviet practice of higher education, Kutafin was elected rector of the All-Union Youth Studies Institute at a meeting of the Scientific Council (on an alternative basis).

On February 10, 1988, by order of the Ministry of Higher Education of the USSR No. 98, a full-time form of education was opened in VYUZI.

On September 26, 1990, on the basis of the Decree of the Council of Ministers of the USSR No. 974, the VYUZI was transformed into the Moscow Law Institute (MYUI) (order of the State Committee for Education of the USSR No. 660 dated October 17, 1990), since the full-time form of education did not correspond to the retention of the word “correspondence” in the name.

On October 6, 1993, the Moscow Law Institute was renamed into the Moscow State Law Academy (in accordance with the order of the State Committee of the Russian Federation for Higher Education No. 245 dated 06.10.1993).

The main building of the University is located in the historical place of Moscow. The village of Kudrino has been mentioned in chronicles since 1412. Once it was the property of the Novinsky monastery, and before that these lands were owned by the Serpukhov prince Vladimir the Brave, a cousin of Dmitry Donskoy.

In 1764, the Novinsky monastery fell into disrepair, and its lands were transferred for buildings for officers and officials. In the place where the University is now located, there was a city estate that belonged to the nobleman Vysotsky G.P. According to the tradition of that time, the building was a series of interconnected wooden structures.

In 1812, at the time of Napoleon's arrival in Moscow, most of the village of Kudrina burned down. Vysotsky's property also burned down. The owner of the estate was the court adviser I.A. Khilkov. He laid out a garden on the territory of the estate, erected several buildings, which he rented out. Then the property was acquired by Countess Kreutz, and in 1899 the city bought it from her.

In 1901, according to the project of the architect Nikiforov A.A. a three-story building for the Moscow real school was built here. It has survived to this day (it houses the first academic building of the University). On the site of the garden, stone residential buildings were erected for teachers and employees of the school.

Over the years, famous Russian jurists have worked at the University: Vengerov A.B., Gurvich M.A., Martemyanov V.S., Mitrichev S.P., Kozlova E.I., Lupinskaya P.A., Ryasentsev V.A. ., Rovinsky E.A., Titov Yu.P., Chernilovsky Z.M., Shakaryan M.S., Shishov O.F. and many others.

For all the years of its existence, VYUZI-MUI-MGUA-University named after O.E. Kutafina (Moscow State Law Academy) has created 43 faculties throughout the country. Then, on their basis, correspondence and full-time departments and faculties were organized in 27 universities and in three law schools of the USSR. Faculties, branches and training and consulting centers have appeared in more than 30 cities, among which one can name: Leningrad (St. Petersburg), Khabarovsk. Yuzhno-Sakhalinsk, Magadan, Gorky (Nizhny Novgorod), Orenburg, Ulyanovsk, Kirov, Stavropol, Vologda, Kharkov, Novosibirsk, Sverdlovsk (Yekaterinburg), Irkutsk, Krasnoyarsk, Krasnodar, Odessa, Chisinau, Kiev, Kuibyshev (Samara), Ivanovo.

BLACK AND WHITE WAR

The sunsets fell behind the sky
And the century went to rest,
The soldiers played quieter
World War II music
Wars of color - crimson
Wars are candle ash
Wars from Berlin to Bryansk,
War - even shout, don't shout

And black and white shadows
Long ago closed ranks
On the field of military battles
On the field of the scarlet War
Where forget-me-nots bloom now
Where is the memory alive now
Where there is an eternal flame for a day
Will not give up his banners.
