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.

On February 25, the Department of Literature and Pedagogical Education, Institute of Translation, Russian Studies and Multilingualism of Pyatigorsk State University held an event “Mother Tongue! How beautiful you are!” dedicated to the International Day of Mother Tongues.

This bright event became a real holiday: the participants, including foreign students, spoke 12 native languages, making fascinating presentations about the richness and uniqueness of their culture.

The organizers of the festival prepared an interesting linguistic quiz “Own Game”, in which both undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students, as well as university professors took part!
