Pyatigorsk State University (PSU)

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.

Pyatigorsk operetta theater showed a performance for students and teachers of PSU.

Yesterday in the operetta theater Alexander Kolker's musical comedy “Truffaldino from Bergamo” based on Carlo Goldoni's “The Servant of Two Masters” was shown.

Our university and Pyatigorsk Operetta Theater have been linked by ties of friendship for 85 years, because the two largest institutions of the city were founded in the same year - 1939.

The first students who came to the operetta theater on the Pushkin Card (in 2021) were students of PSU. The tradition of students visiting the theater continues to this day, including thanks to the Pushkin Card project.
