The date of foundation of Pyatigorsk State University is considered to be June 27, 1939, when the Pedagogical School officially became a higher educational institution. Since then, the university has undergone various changes and transformations - an increase in the number of years of study, several renamings - and officially became known as Pyatigorsk State University in 2016. Since 2005, the head of the university is Professor Gorbunov Alexander Pavlovich. By 2009, 10 faculties were formed at the university. Further, on their basis, institutes and higher schools were created, having one of the faculties in their composition. In addition, PSU is actively developing the system of pre-university, postgraduate and additional education. It has a branch in Novorossiysk. Currently, the university has 34 departments. Now Pyatigorsk State University has more than 5,500 students and 3,000 students from different regions of Russia and foreign countries. All the peoples of the Caucasus are also represented in PSU.

Yesterday, PSU students attended a real tea ceremony held at a round table. The event was held as part of the revival of the “Great Tea Route” and the art marathon “Russia-Mongolia-China”.

The event was held at the site of the Center for Chinese Culture and Language of PSU, the organizers of the event were IIYAMT and IPRM. The participants learned that due to the nomadic lifestyle of the Mongols, tea has come a long way from the steppes to European countries. Russia, in turn, became an important connecting point in this story.

One of the main and material concepts of the revival is the creation of a conceptual museum-yurt, which in the process of road travel along the route map will be filled with valuable items.

The tea ceremony was accompanied by traditional Yakut chants of folklorist Varvara Oboyukova.
