Samara State Agrarian University

Start

Russia at the turn of the 19th to 20th centuries. The development of capitalism requires a change in the agricultural technology of agriculture and agricultural production. And in the Samara province, agricultural farming is an important part of the economy. On these grounds, on March 29, 1899, a decision was made to open a new agrarian educational institution with joint funds from the treasury and the Samara provincial zemstvo.

N.I. Kotov, a graduate of the Petrovsky Agricultural and Forestry Academy, is appointed director of the school. By the end of August 1900, there were 8 teachers in the staff of the school, and three more were working on voluntary employment. On September 5, 1900, the first 40 students began their studies.

The first 3 years the school rents part of the famous Chelyshev house in Samara. The construction of their own school buildings, begun in 1900 on the territory of the so-called "Cossack arable land number 2" (now the village of Ust-Kinelsky), is completed in 1903. On the ground floor of the educational building there is a wardrobe, some of the teachers ’apartments, on the fourth floor - student bedroom (boarding house). The second and third floors house a library, laboratories, classrooms, and a weather station. The school routine is pretty tough. Rise at 6 o’clock. Daily from 9 to 14 hours 5 lessons. We study arithmetic, Latin, Greek. Necessarily - gymnastics. After the evening prayer - at 22 o'clock end.

Pupils and teachers are involved in amateur art, sports. The performances, which are prepared, as a rule, for festive dates and holidays (church and civil), are distinguished by the splendor of the scenery and costumes. Even the absence of the fair sex does not stop (the first girl was accepted at the school only in 1918). All female roles are successfully performed by men. In the main building there is a hall with a stage where performances and evenings are arranged. Here in the winter, various sports games and classes are held. In winter, the rink is flooded. There is a good set of musical instruments, including a piano.

This is how a university was born

After the establishment of Soviet power in Samara, the popularity of the school with peasant youth was high, and on October 30, 1920, the Glavprofobr (Main Committee of Vocational and Technical Education of the RSFSR) approved the merger of the school with the agronomical faculty, which had been established at that time as part of Samara University. In a civil war, the territory of the Middle Volga and, above all, the Samara province becomes the scene of violent clashes. At this time, January 21, 1919 V.I. Lenin signs a decree on the opening of universities in a number of cities, including Samara. The decree states that the day of the opening of the university should be considered the day of the first anniversary of the October Revolution - November 7, 1918. Among Samara agronomists there are many enthusiasts seeking to create a higher agricultural educational institution in the region. On May 4, 1919, an "organizational commission" was formed of 6 university students: Kazan, Kozlov, Kuznetsov, Nuyanzin, Pupkin, Khentov. The goal is to achieve the opening of the Faculty of Agronomy no later than the fall of 1919. The issue of teachers is difficult to solve. At this time, the university has three faculties: historical-philological, physical-mathematical and medical. On September 10, 1919, a meeting of the Council of Professors of Samara University, historic for the State Agricultural Academy, takes place: a decision was made to open an agronomical department as part of the natural medicine faculty. The students were immediately enrolled. 600 people are being recorded, which once again confirms the popularity of agricultural education among young people. Media of that time write:

"... thanks to knowledge, a bright time will come and even the word" imperfect "and especially" hunger "will be forgotten forever." ("Bulletin of the Samara Institute", 1923).

The employees and students of the agricultural faculty are well aware that without their own land, the faculty cannot have promising prospects. The agrarian faculty receives such prospects after the merger with the Samara Agricultural College on October 30, 1920. The entire farm and property of the school goes over to the agrofacus. Students receive at their disposal land necessary for research and management of agricultural crops (over 1000 hectares), a garden plot, an apiary. The presence of an excellent farm in the school allows us to solve the question of the specialization of students in the field of animal husbandry. A solid educational building, residential buildings and various outbuildings remove the question of providing students with housing. By the beginning of 1921, the agrarian faculty was becoming much richer than other faculties of the university and was seeking autonomy. November 10, 1920 Glavprofobr decides: "To approve the faculty of agronomy at Samara University as a higher educational institution."

Institute in the 1920s

During 1920-1921. Deployment of departments begins at the institute. One of the first (in the fall of 1920) was created the department of private agriculture (today the department of crop production). It is headed and directed until 1929 by S.N. Boldyrev. The components of the Agricultural Institute after its separation are the departments: botany, headed by Professor V.S. Bakhtin, Soil Science - Professor A.I. Bessonov, Agricultural Engineering - Professor A.S. Britkin, Anatomy - Professor I.P. Gilyarovsky, agricultural technology - Professor V.N. Gvozdev, meteorology - Professor D.M. Schukin, Political Economy - Professor I.V. Dolgikh, Zoology and Entomology - Professor P.N. Bystritsky, geology - B.N. Medvedev, chemistry - professor M.S. Scanavi, agricultural chemistry - D.L. Liskier, anatomy and physiology of animals - I.L. Brothers, livestock - N.P. Volokh, forestry - P.E. Maksheev, hydraulic engineering and land reclamation - A.I. Yanchenko. Although it must be said that the concept of "department" is often purely conditional, often the department staff consists of one professor or teacher who teaches the course.

In the most difficult conditions of devastation and civil war, the position of the university is deplorable. Despite the heroic efforts of teachers and students, the university can only be partially preserved. The medical faculty closes in 1923, the pedagogical faculty closes in 1926. The Agricultural Institute manages to survive.

In the second half of the 20s, significant changes were taking place in the development of the network of universities in Samara. These changes are disappointing. The economic difficulties of the recovery period, the consequences of the terrible famine of 1921 and the civil war lead to a sharp reduction in the number of higher education institutions. In 1926, the faculty ceases to exist - the last faculty of Samara University. Of the nine universities, only one remains - the Agricultural Institute. Under the conditions of military communism, a party organization becomes the governing body of the institute. The CPSU (b) dictates “what an agronomist should be and what a higher agricultural school should be”, which leads to a conflict with the old professors. In November 1926, Glavprofobr satisfied the request of I.P. Gilyarovsky on his release from the duties of the rector. The institute should be led by a follower of Lenin-Stalin (Marx-Engels, etc.). This person is Stefan Vatslavich Sokhatsky, a member of the party since 1905. Short in stature, with a wedge-shaped beard, like many professional revolutionaries, this very gentle, even shy person knows how to be decisive when it comes to fundamental party issues. He does not have a scientific degree or a professorship, but his university lectures show brilliant Marxist training. As the rector of the Samara Agricultural Institute in 1926-1929 and in 1933, he resolutely pursues a line to strengthen it. The ability to see a perspective helps him to rise above momentary tasks, to captivate like-minded people. Sokhatsky attracts the best scientists and teachers to the institute: P.N. Konstantinov, other famous people. It was by 1929 that the institute reached its peak. The fate of Sokhatsky is typical of the totalitarian period: in 1933 he was arrested by the NKVD as an enemy of the people and executed (rehabilitated posthumously in 1958). During this period, the number of literature written out from abroad sharply increases, and the number of scientific business trips, including to the countries of Europe and America. Institute scientists are regularly invited to regional and all-union scientific conferences, agronomic congresses, etc. An equally important task is to provide practical assistance in the preparation and conduct of collectivization. This work reaches its greatest scope after the Fifteenth Congress of the CPSU (B.). In preparation for the party congress, the Komsomol members of the institute are widely deploying patronage assistance in nearby villages. The subject of theoretical research of that time is the analysis of existing collective farms-communes in the region.

Institute in the 30s

In the early 30s, the material and technical base of the institute was finally formed. Three 4-storey dormitories were built. Structural changes are taking place. Veterinary faculty is transferred to Orenburg. Soon the collective farm and state farm faculty separated, becoming the basis for the Kuibyshev Planning Institute. And in 1933 a new faculty was opened - mechanization. In connection with these changes, there is a sharp shortage of teachers and researchers. In January 1931, as a result of checking the work of the Komsomol cell, a group of graduate students (Shatova, Altukhova, Atemirova, Savinova, Kristalinsky, Mironsky, Klur) was identified, whose activity was regarded as a "manifestation of a right-opportunist bias in practice." For the same reason, professors Bessonov and Kvasnikov were dismissed from the institute. The main figure among Bukharin's supporters was one of his closest students and followers, Alexander Slepkov (1899-1937). The first editor of Komsomolskaya Pravda, a graduate of the Institute of the Red Professor A. Slepkov in 1929-1930. worked in the Samara Agricultural Institute as a professor, headed the department of Marxism-Leninism. (Shot in 1937) And in the 30s the institute continued to develop and grow. New faculties are opening: mehfak, full-time rabfak, faculty of advanced training. The party organization, the trade union committee and the Komsomol organization have grown significantly. In 1933, the foundation was laid for a research station, one of the most important links in the scientific part. The breeding station and educational facilities are gaining strength. In the academic year 1936-1937, the Kuibyshev Agricultural Institute, like all agricultural universities in the country, switched to a new program. Significant changes are being made to the teaching of social disciplines. All of them were transferred to one department - Marxism-Leninism. New encouraging symptoms have appeared in the development of science. In the prewar years, the material base of the institute was significantly strengthened. The main achievement here is the construction of the second academic building (now the building of the zoo-engineering faculty).

War years

Immediately after the outbreak of war, the institute became the training ground for new units of the Red Army. Since August 1941, the territory of the Kuibyshev Agricultural Institute becomes the base for the formation of the 356th Infantry Division. In the main building and other buildings of the institute, there are the division’s headquarters and headquarters, 918 auto regiment, a separate communications battalion, engineer and health battalion, and reconnaissance. The division is almost completely formed from residents of the Kuibyshev region. The division was first commanded by Colonel Pererva, and since December 1942, Major General Makarov. Chief of Staff - I.I. Volchkov, Commissioner - Sh. Miftakhov. Formed in the Kuibyshev Agricultural Institute, the division with battles reached Elba. The 356th Division, which distinguished itself in battles, is repeatedly mentioned in the orders of the Supreme Commander. In the Kuibyshev Agricultural Institute, as well as throughout the country, the majority of those who remained in the rear are women. Student groups also consist mainly of girls. In 1944, out of 417 students, only 18 were exempted from military service. Uchkhoz, breeding station, livestock farm - everywhere the main burden falls on women's shoulders. It is especially difficult in the first military winter. Institute employees who do not have their own personal plots receive only 300-400 grams of bread per person per day. For workers organized meager disposable meals in the dining room. All that is received from the fields and farm of the farm goes to the needs of the hospital, factory, child care facilities and dining room. However, the work does not stop. Classes continue.

Study conditions are not easy. In the summer of 1941, the institute was forced to huddle in only one building - the building of the zoo-engineering faculty. In the main building and other buildings, the services of the forming 356th division are first located, and then the equipment of the evacuated factories begins to arrive. In hostels Nos. 1, 2, and 3, on June 24, evacuation hospital No. 1653 is deploying. The Institute is sponsoring the hospital. Pioneers, schoolchildren, students perform in front of the wounded with concerts, prepare gifts, take care of seriously ill patients.

With the completion of the academic year 1941-1942, the institute was supposed to be closed. However, by its decisions of June 3 and July 21, 1942, the Council of People's Commissars of the USSR decided to retain the Kuibyshev Agricultural Institute. The educational process is not interrupted, and by 1945 the institute reaches pre-war student enrollment rates.

Institute Growth

In the first post-war years, the entire staff of the institute was included in the implementation of the "Stalinist plan for the transformation of nature" and the "three-year plan for the development of public animal husbandry on collective and state farms." In the year of the thirtieth anniversary, the institute has 3 faculties: agronomic, faculty of mechanization of agriculture (restored) and forest reclamation. The correspondence department soon opens. The authority of the institute in the region and the country is growing. By 1950, 711 students were at the institute, and 58 people were teachers. The educational process takes place in two educational buildings, students are accommodated in three dormitories.

In September 1953, the party and the government announced a course towards the development of virgin and fallow lands of Kazakhstan, Siberia and non-black soil. In a short time, more than 42 million hectares of new land is introduced into the economy. The practice of world agriculture does not know an example of the development of new lands on such a huge scale in such a short time. Among the many thousands of young people who had tasted the unsweetened bread of the pioneers of the virgin lands, and hundreds of students of the Kuibyshev Agricultural Institute. In 1956, 363 students from all three faculties under the leadership of the head. Department of Marxism-Leninism P.V. Kazakov arrive in the Kokchetav region of the Kazakh SSR. In 1957, 250 students under the direction of Associate Professor N.V. Frolov and assistant Shitnikova D.M. help to harvest crops on the state farms "Red Shepherd", "Kamyshaklinsky", "Field" of the Orenburg region. In 1958, 150 students of the Faculty of Mechanics under the direction of A.V. Borodkina, V.P. Gnilomedov is harvested on virgin state farms Cherkassky, Klyavlinsky, Smirnovsky, Nikolaevsky, Bukhsilovsky, Mirolyubsky, Leninsky and Ivanovsky. At the same time in 1958, 95 students of the mechanical faculty work in the Kustanai region of the Kazakh SSR. Dwellings of virgin lands are unpretentious: adobe dugouts, simple sheds made of reed shields, tents, wagons. “Water was in great shortage,” says V.P. Gnilomedov. “A bathhouse in a camping trailer for 2-3 weeks with a limit of 15 liters of water per capita was the height of bliss.”

Students carry out a variety of duties on the virgin soil, master many professions.

The institute is especially proud of its graduate Alexander Ivanovich Baraev - "the main virgin land agronomist". Its soil protection system is the pride of agronomic science. Almost everyone who has visited the virgin lands during these years is encouraged. In 1958, the Central Committee of the Komsomol of Kazakhstan awarded the Kuybyshev Komsomol with a commemorative Red Banner for assistance in the development of virgin and fallow lands.

The heyday of the institute

The mid 60-ies - the highest peak of the institute in its entire history. The main feature that determines the development of the university during this period was stability. By this time, the institute had trained 7 thousand specialists for the national economy. It consisted of 5 faculties: agronomic, agricultural mechanization, livestock, correspondence and FPK. More than 1000 students studied at the full-time department, more than one and a half thousand at correspondence. In the Institute in 1965, 27 departments worked. В институте были созданы прекрасные условия для подготовки специалистов: студенты имели в своем распоряжении пять общежитий, завершилось строительство корпуса для мехфака, начиналось возведение ДК. В библиотеке книжный фонд составлял свыше 200 тысяч томов. В учебно-опытном хозяйстве было около 15 тыс. гектаров земли, около двух тысяч голов крупного рогатого скота, около семи тысяч свиней, функционировал сад площадью почти 100 га, имелся огород. На жизнь института с 1965 по 1991 годы наложило отпечаток все происходящее в стране. В 1967 году СХИ насчитывалось 3243 студента, 180 преподавателей. В институтском городке работали промтоварный, продовольственный и книжный магазины, функционировала лодочная станция. К 1967 году учеными института и селекционной станции было выделено 47 сортов зерновых , бобовых и трав, часть из которых были районированы. Общая земельная площадь учебного хозяйства института составила 15123 га, в том числе 9183 гектара пашни. К этому времени институт за время своего существования подготовил около семи тысяч специалистов.

Стабильность

С 1969-1985 гг. институт возглавлял Е.Л.Косолапов, рядом с ним работали проректоры Н.И. Ивлиев, И.А. Чуданов, А.С.Тюрин, А.Я.Пахомов, Б.Н.Мясников, В.П.Гниломедов, В.Т.Малофеев.

Факультеты возглавляли: Р.В. Авраменко, Н.И. Несмеянова, С.И. Кошелев (агрофак); В.П. Гниломедов, И.Я. Ермолаев, С.М. Васильковский, А.Ф. Черкашин, А.В. Климанов (мехфак); М.М. Серых, Ю.Я. Насыров, Л.П. Дедашев, Ю.В. Шиперко, Н.П. Суханов, г.Я. Зимин (зоофак); Ю.Н. Евклидов, А.Ф. Черкашин, И.М. Брумин, В.Ф. Гуцалюк (заочный факультет). Селекционной станцией руководили: И.А. Чуданов, И.Н. Шпагин, Н.И. Глуховцева. Проректорами АХЧ были Антонов С.С., Тулатин С.А. Директорами учхоза работали Н.М. Лапин, В.И. Аракчеев, В.И. Золотарев, И.И. Радаев. Набирала силу наука в институте. Ученые оставили заметный след в сельскохозяйственной отрасли. В 1987 году на ВДНХ СССР в тематическом разделе "Достижения ученых высшей школы в научно-исследовательской работе" от института было представлено 11 экспонатов. Заметен качественный рост преподавателей института. В 1970 году в Самарском СХИ 30% преподавательского состава имели ученые степени и звания, в 1980 году - 42%, в 1987 году уровень имеющих ученую степень составил 57%. Ученые института обменивались опытом со своими зарубежными коллегами. Знакомясь со студенческой жизнью тех лет видим, что кроме учебы молодежь занималась спортом - постоянно работали спортивные секции, проводились спартакиады. Творчество выразилось в проведении ежегодных "Студенческих весен", конкурсов "Таланты среди нас". В 1975 году в институте была открыта комната-музей истории института. Работу по созданию музея возглавили П.В. Казаков и Г.В. Сычева. С 1986 года музеем заведует Земфира Ямиловна Биккинина. Была организована студенческая поисковая группа "Поиск". Институт продолжает развиваться. Открываются новые кафедры, отделения, факультеты. К 75-летнему юбилею Самарский СХИ дал целую армию выпускников - 25 тысяч - ученых-агрономов, инженеров-механиков, лесоводов, зоотехников и зооинженеров.

Перестройка

В годы перестройки в институте царила демократическая атмосфера. Многое о жизни института того времени можно узнать со страниц газеты "За высокий урожай". Активной была научная жизнь, большое внимание уделяется компьютеризации научных исследований и учебного процесса. В 1990 году проректором по научной работе стал доцент А.А. Киров. С его приходом расширились связи Самарского СХИ с европейскими странами. В 1993 году произошло важное событие: начал функционировать технологический факультет. Первым деканом был утвержден М.И. Дулов. В 1992 году Ученый совет института в качестве ближайшей перспективы определил преобразвоание института в агроуниверситет. 25 января 1991 Указом Президента России Куйбышевской области и г. Куйбышеву возвращены прежние названия: Самарская область и г. Самара. Одновременно и Куйбышевский СХИ вернул себе первоначальное имя и вновь стал Самарским СХИ.
