Today marks the 8️⃣0️⃣th anniversary of the Moscow State Institute of International Relations – MGIMO!
Today #MGIMO = thousands of students, 14 faculties and institutes, 3 campuses in Moscow, the Moscow region and Tashkent. It is an indisputable symbol of education of the highest standard.
It was founded on October 14, 1944, during World War II, taking upon itself the mission to provide highly qualified diplomats and experts in international relations in the wake of the post-war development.
🌍 In 1946, MGIMO became the first university in the USSR to admit foreign students, establishing its international academic reputation.
🗓 In 1994, MGIMO received the status of a university.
On September 18, 2024, Russian President Vladimir Putin signed Decree No. 800, awarding the University the Order of Alexander Nevsky for "outstanding achievements in scientific and educational work and long-standing excellence in preparing highly qualified specialists in international relations, global economics, international law, and journalism."
The name of Saint Alexander Nevsky, the patron of Russian diplomacy, is closely linked with MGIMO: the university chapel bears his name, while in 2021, a monument to the Russian statesman of the 13th century was unveiled on its grounds. This year Russian President Vladimir Putin signed Decree No. 800, awarding the University the Order of Alexander Nevsky.
👉 Today, MGIMO alumni hold top positions in Russia’s diplomatic service, including Foreign Minister Sergey #Lavrov.
#DYK? In 2010, MGIMO was listed in the Guinness World Records for offering the most foreign languages taught at a university—5️⃣3️⃣.
