Ryazan State University named for S. Yesenin

Throughout its existence, the structure of the university has been constantly evolving. In 1918, the Pedagogical Institute trained students in 4 areas only: physics and mathematics, natural sciences, geographical and historical, and philological. In 1930, about 100 students studied at the agronomic, physical-technical, chemical-biological and social-literary departments. By 1934, there appeared a workers’ faculty and an extramural department. By the beginning of the 40s, the institute had the following departments: physics and mathematics, natural sciences, history, the Russian language and literature. At that time, more than 1000 students studied and 88 professors worked at the Pedagogical Institute.

Nowadays, the university houses:
