Oriental Institute is a higher educational institution founded on October 21, 1899 in Vladivostok to study Oriental languages and countries with the aim of training personnel for administrative and commercial-industrial institutions of the Far East .
The first director of the Oriental Institute was Professor A. M. Pozdneev (1899-1903). The second director was D. M. Pozdneev (1904-1906), the third - A.V. Rudakov (1906-1917). The main subjects studied were the languages Chinese, Japanese, Manchu, Korean and Mongolian. In addition, there were such disciplines as geography, bookkeeping and commodity science, the history and political organization of the eastern states, English and French, and jurisprudence.
During the Russo-Japanese War, the institute was transferred to the city of Verkhneudinsk . Classes in Verkhneudinsk began on February 4, 1905. On February 15 (new style) in 1905, students of the Oriental Institute drafted a resolution. On March 6, 1905, students of the institute were announced a telegram from the acting Governor-General of the Amur General M. S. Andreev to terminate classes at the Eastern Institute: 1) classes and lectures in the East. the institute is terminated, 2) all students and volunteers are dismissed from the institute for submitting a bold and insulting resolution for professors, 3) volunteer officers are expelled to their units [1] .
Since 1918, the Eastern Institute, unable to cope with the financial collapse, began to disintegrate. On the basis of this institute, private universities began to form (historical and philological faculty, higher polytechnic, law faculty, eastern faculty). All of them were headed by former professors of the Oriental Institute.
On April 17, 1920 , the provisional government, the Primorsky Regional Zemstvo Government, by its resolution No. 220, united the Eastern State Institute and all its departments in the Far Eastern State University (GDU) [2] .
