History
In the decree of Empress Catherine the Great of September 4, 1784, it was proposed: “ Seeking all means to educate public servants, we command in the provincial city of Yekaterinoslav governorate to establish a university in which not only science but also art should be taught ... [1] ".
The place for the university was determined between the current regional hospital of Mechnikov and the barracks of the former Simferopol regiment . After the death of A. G. Potemkin and Catherine II, by decree of the new emperor Paul I of December 12, 1796, the organization of the university stopped. In Yekaterinoslav, as a weak substitute for a failed university, a public school operated in 1792, which was very miserable "due to the lack of students." The case with the opening of a university in the city froze for more than a century.
However, this happened in 1918 thanks to the persistent efforts of the local intelligentsia and the support of outstanding Ukrainian scholars D. I. Bagaley , N. P. Vasilenko , L. V. Pisarzhevsky , who moved to Ukraine V. I. Vernadsky, at the request of which the government of P. P Skoropadsky decided to open a university in four faculties:
- historical and philological;
- legal;
- medical;
- physical and mathematical.
He was awarded the Order of the Red Banner of Labor (1968) [4] .
In 1951, the Physics Institute opened.
Since 2000, received national status.
From 1932 (33?) To 1936 (39?), The year bore the name of V.V. Kuybyshev . Since 1954 it bore the name of the 300th anniversary of the Reunification of Ukraine with Russia . On June 25, 2008, the university was named after O. Gonchar [1] .
The university is associated with the activities of academicians ( L. V. Pisarzhevsky , A. N. Dinnik , G. V. Kurdyumov , V. I. Mossakovsky , P. P. Shirshov , G. N. Savin , M. K. Yangel, etc. .) [4]
